| 20100253075 | Sanitary Retainer - Disclosed herein is a retainer for connecting a pair of sanitary fittings each having a first end and a second end, the second ends each having a flanged portion. The retainer includes a first member having a through center aperture, the first member adapted to receive at least a portion of each of the flanged portions and a second member having a through center aperture and engageable over the first member, the second member adapted to provide a compressive force to sealingly connect the flanged portions when the first and second members are in an assembled configuration. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100229354 | TUBE CLAMP - Embodiments of a clamp for compressing a flexible tube are disclosed herein. In one such embodiment, the clamp includes a first member, a second member moveably coupled to the first member to move into and out of a clamping position to apply a compressive force to the tube, a locking member to hold the first and second members in the clamping position, a third member moveably retained between a pair of sidewalls of one of the first member and the second member, and a fourth member moveably coupled to one of the first member and the second member and engageable with the third member to apply an additional compressive force to the tube. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100013215 | Barb Clamp with Collet Interlocks - Disclosed herein is a barb clamp for a flexible tube having a predetermined inner diameter defining a passageway therein and an outer surface. The clamp includes a barb connector having a tubular configuration with a first end for disposing within an end of the tube, a cylindrical collet having a through center aperture slidable over the first end of the barb connector, the collet having a first end and a second end, the first end including a plurality resilient members each having a first lateral edge having a first interlocking portion and an opposing second lateral edge having a second interlocking portion, and a cylindrical sleeve having a through center aperture for slidably receiving the collet. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20090212559 | Barb Clamp with Smooth Bore - A barb clamp is provided for fluid liquid or gaseous connection to a flexible tube, the flexible tube having an inner bore defined by a predetermined inner diameter for providing a fluid flow path. The barb clamp includes a barb connector having the same predetermined inner diameter as the flexible tube and a tapered end insertable into the tube. A sleeve and collet lock over the tubing and barb connector to prevent liquid material entering between the barb and tube. The tapered end of the barb connector terminates at a point so that there is no transition between the inner diameter of the tube and the inner diameter of the barb connector to provide no pressure differential in the tube between the outside and inside of the barb clamp. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090208277 | SANITARY CLAMP - A sanitary clamp for connection to a pair of barb connectors each having one end terminating at a funnel shaped portion is described herein. The sanitary clamp includes a first member having a first semi-circular center portion disposed between a first end and a second end. A second member has a second semi-circular center portion disposed between a first end and a second end. Said first ends of the first and second members are configured to pivotally connect to each other, and said second ends of the first and second members include a locking mechanism for selectively locking the second ends of the first and second members in engagement. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090179422 | Barb Clamp with Smooth Bore - A barb clamp is provided for fluid liquid or gaseous connection to a flexible tube, the flexible tube having an inner bore defined by a predetermined inner diameter for providing a fluid flow path. The barb clamp includes a barb connector having the same predetermined inner diameter as the flexible tube and a tapered end insertable into the tube. A sleeve and collet lock over the tubing and barb connector to prevent liquid material entering between the barb and tube. The tapered end of the barb connector terminates at a point so that there is no transition between the inner diameter of the tube and the inner diameter of the barb connector to provide no pressure differential in the tube between the outside and inside of the barb clamp. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090119886 | SANITARY CLAMP - A sanitary clamp made of high molecular weight thermoplastic polymer for connection to a barb connector having one end with a funnel formation. The sanitary clamp. The sanitary clamp includes a pair of essentially semi-circular members having a pivotal connection at one of the ends of each member and a locking connection at the other ends of each member. The semi-circular portions of the members are configured to sealing and secure a pair of funneled ends of a pair of barb connectors with an O-ring disposed therebetween. The locking ends of the sanitary clamp includes a ratchet portion on one member and a housing member configured to lockingly receive the ratchet portion on the other member. | 05-14-2009 |
