Unknown Weapon

...My guess is that the first item is a "Torture Device"

It looks like a butchers gambrel to me. A device for hanging a carcass by its tendons. But such a thing would usually have an angle to it that would help keep the legs spread.

Is that a hole, there?
Is that whole section hollow ?

The first one looks like a large scale, perhaps for weighing grains.

Fernando, it is not hollow just a hole and most of the weight is in that area. I joined a chinese cite that discusses weapons hopefully the can help me with this item as well.

If a scale, it'd be for a set measure of weight, as there are no (visible) calibrations. There is a farm implement called a "hay harpoon". Used for hauling hay bails into the loft.

I'd go back to that hole. It must be there for some reason. Was there some appendix stuck in it ?
