TRLICA (kvačka, lomka, mower shaker)

Tools for separating the wooden part of flax stalks and hemp from fibers. The stems are laid on the ground, on the stone, with a dragon, a piston, crushed in steps, or broken on a breaker, more often on a troll. It consisted of two horizontal, upright boards that stood on two or four legs. A third, called a trlo, fit into the gap between the boards, in the form of a wooden knife. It had a handle at one end and was fastened at the other, so that it could be raised and lowered alternately into the slot. In the vicinity of Bánovce nad Bebravou, Trenčín, Nový Mesto nad Váhom, Trnava, they used a troll with two trolls, fixed in its center. In Kysucie and Orava, the trlice was attached to the pedestal without legs or loaded with stones. While breaking, the person lifted the troll with his right hand and placed a handful of stems perpendicular to the gap between the boards with his left hand. By alternately hitting the knife into the slit and pulling the stems together, she broke them. The crushed wooden part of the stems, called the sheath, the sheath, separated from the fibers. A wiper ( triple, screed, smoothing trowel) was used in some areas to removeand i.) - a troll that had two slits and a troll with two edges. The stems and fibers had to be well dried before breaking (shaking) and wiping.
