Are you saying you don't know for sure that "the threaded shaft can't do anything"?
You seemed to be sure of that in your last post. The only way it can't do anything is if the crosspiece is fixed to the uprights, yet when I asked you said you don't know for sure.
So which is it? Do you know that the threaded shaft can't do anything or are you (now) not sure of that either?

Even if I look closely, I can't tell if the cross piece at the bottom of the threaded shaft is fitted into dadoes in the uprights and therefore stationary or if the dado is in the cross piece allowing it to slide up and down the uprights.
Do you know for sure?
If it's stationary then there is this possibility:
It could be an object built by a skillful woodworker who wanted to build a completely useless device just for the fun of it and/or to mess with folks like us.
If the crosspiece is stationary, then it reminds me of this:

And like real life, it cannot work.
A wagon wheel tool?
Like a bearing press....?or pull?

if you look closely you will see that the threaded shaft can't do
anything
i think there's another piece that's needed

It's a drawing - not an actual object.

if it is there is a piece missing because the threaded shaft looks to
be stationary
