They're the spur tensioners that people have occasionally mentioned in this here forum.
I wrote about 'em here:

I mostly use it to:
1) keep the wheel sorta in place when I adjust tension
2) feel safe whilst skidding / appplying lots o' back pressure-- I don't want the wheel popping out the front of the dropouts, and I suppose this makes it a bit less likely to happen.
