The objects I mentioned in the photo thread - two more examples here, one from the same mine, and also one from Son of Longcliffe. Each 'leg' has a spike on it, to be hammered into the wood. I think they are similar objects to ones used in the Agricola illustrations of rag-and-chain pumps, as in here:
