Curved ends, fixed length. Two spiked sticks with ends curved, the narrow part of one stick pivoted in a slot in the other stick on a screw and steadied by a small wood thumb button also pivoted on a screw. Length could be altered by relocating screw, but this is not intended because the screw is headed up like a rivet.
