Someone described one to me thus:
Imagine a baseball nailed to a wall with a six inch nail. Grab it in
your fist. Relax the pressure slightly and you can twist and turn to your
hearts content but you are unable to either detach or to move further away
from the wall that the exact length of your arm. Charles' post at 14:38
shows the idea that you can only go so far until one side of your hand would
push against the shaft of the nail and that the special washer would prevent
the baseball from sliding off of the nail. 'ROSE' is a trade name in the UK
for these things.
Does this help?
