Probably had to do with holding livestock for milking. the cross pieces would be pushed through a link or ring and when crossways, wouldn't come out until it was pushed through and rotated back straight.

Chains with toggles were used for many things.

a chain used in logging.
Couple of examples I found on the interweb:


I don't know if chokers were always made of cable, so
maybe it was used as a chain choker?
