    Liar’s club was only cool because you found out the answer at the end. This is just annoying. OK, but I love it.

    Very unlikely a heating element, but not because it is a short circuit. That’s what heating elements are – a short circuit. The piece of metal between the two posts, though, would not be there if the rest of the heating element was to have current running through it. Those don’t look like electric connectors and the springy thingies would be welded to the frame all around, not allowed to move

    Some kind of oven rack is also a decent theory, but why not just weld it solid, then

    The designer designed spring and flex into the item. I can’t come up with anything other than a part of a chair.

    Did you scour it for any numbers or anything ?

    Same conclusions I’ve come to.

    That flex is there for a reason, and a heating element wouldn’t need it.

    I think the two posts are just to attach this thing to something….not for heat, not for electricity, just to secure it.

    It appears to me to be designed to “catch” something as it approaches or rests on it…not sure if that would be in a horizontal or vertical orientation.

    I’ve done a few Google searches and came up empty handed. Will still devote a few brain cycles to it here and there, but I’m starting to get frustrated.

    Sure looks like the frame to a seat back or seat bottom once all the batting and fabric has been removed.

    The main problem I have with the chair back idea is that It looks like the springs don’t have much resistance against the person in the photos hand. It also doesn’t look very big.

    If it were a chair spring, then padding and covering would increase the size quite a bit in all dimensions.

    Does seem small to me, also, honestly.
    Was found in a kitchen drawer, though. Wierd.
