Anatomy

The top of each stick consists of a pivot bolt with a head that holds the center portion of a u shaped swivel. A pin extends through the side arms of the U shaped swivel and through the lower loop of a clevis or shackle. The shackle connects to the chain, and the chain connects the two sticks. The U shaped swivels rotate and the clevis/shackle's move from side to side also.
