Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a handle comprising a substantially round elongated portion, the substantially round elongated portion being hollow with an open end, the handle further comprising a bifurcated portion, the bifurcated portion having a first fork having an inside portion and an outside portion, the bifurcated portion having a second fork, the second fork having an inside portion and an outside portion, the inside portion of the first fork being directly opposing and opposite to the inside portion of the second fork, the hollow round elongated portion having a first hole that extends through the hollow round elongated portion and a second hole that extends through the hollow round elongated portion directly opposite of the first hole wherein an axis extending between the first hole and the second hole are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the handle; a rotating member having a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatable mounted to the inside portion of the first fork of the bifurcated portion of the handle and the second end being rotatably mounted to the inside portion of the second fork of the bifurcated portion of the handle, wherein an exterior of the rotating member is substantially equidistant to a longitudinal axis of the rotating member, wherein the rotating member includes a cavity that is substantially equidistant to the longitudinal axis of the rotating member, the cavity extending from the first end of the rotating member to the second end of the rotating member and forming an opening that extends from the first end of the rotating member to the second end of the rotating member, the rotating member having a first flange and a second flange, the first flange being connected by a bridge, the bridge having a first end and a second end, the bridge having a cavity, the cavity having a longitudinal axis, the cavity extending from the first end of the bridge to the second end of the bridge and through each of the first flange and the second flange, the first flange and the second flange each having flat exterior surfaces; a first moveable arm having a flat surface facing the flat exterior surface of the first flange, having a first hole that passes through the first moveable arm, the first hole being positioned closer to a first end of the first moveable arm than a second end of the first moveable arm, the first hole having the same longitudinal axis as the longitudinal axis as the cavity of the bridge of the rotating member, the first moveable arm having a second hole positioned closer to the second end of the first moveable arm than the first end of the first moveable arm, the first end of the first moveable arm adjacent to the end of the first fork; a second moveable arm having a flat surface facing the flat exterior surface of the second flange, having a first hole that passes through the second moveable arm, the first hole being positioned closer to a first end of the second moveable arm than a second end of the second moveable arm, the first hole having the same longitudinal axis as the longitudinal axis as the cavity of the bridge of the rotating member, the second moveable arm having a second hole positioned closer to the second end of the second moveable arm than the first end of the second moveable arm, the first end of the second moveable arm adjacent to the end of the second fork; a first bolt passing slideably through the first hole of the first moveable arm, the cavity of the rotating member and the first hole of the second moveable arm, the first bolt having a retaining member at each end of the first bolt operable to urge the first moveable arm and the second moveable arms towards each other; and a second bolt passing slideably through the second hole of the first moveable arm, the cavity of the bridge and the second hole of the second moveable arm, the second bolt having a retaining member at each end of the second bolt operable to urge the first moveable arm and the second moveable arms towards each other.
