MANUAL WOOD SPLITTING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS

A log section splitting assistance apparatus comprises a base with radially arranged fingers， each of which is joined to the base at an axle， each axle having an axis of rotation which is horizontally oriented and tangential to the base. The fingers extend and retract through use of a lever arm. A user places a log section on the base， between the fingers. The user engages the lever arm to hold the log section on the base with the fingers. The user splits the log section. The fingers retain the split pieces on the base in a cluster until the pieces can be removed. The base and fingers may be rotated by foot， allowing the log section to be conveniently rotated as it is split. The user avoids bending; the splitting process proceeds quickly. The apparatus is robust and easy to use.

原木段劈分辅助装置包含一具底座，底座上设有放射状排布的指状夹持件；每个指状夹持件均通过转轴与底座相连，各转轴的旋转轴线呈水平方向且与底座相切。该指状夹持件可通过杠杆臂完成伸缩动作。使用者可将待劈分的原木段放置于底座上的各夹持件之间，操作杠杆臂即可通过夹持件将原木段固定于底座，随后开展劈分作业。夹持件可将劈分后的木段以簇状留存于底座之上，直至可将所有木段一并取出。底座与夹持件可通过脚踏驱动实现旋转，使劈分过程中原木段的转动操作更为便捷。使用该装置可避免使用者弯腰劳作，且劈分流程更为高效；同时装置结构坚固、操作简便。
