Abstract: The clamping band has a simple structure and is capable of preventing crush of an engaging claw and buckle of an inner band part, which are caused when an outer band part and the inner band part are moved close to each other to reduce an inner diameter of a band section. In the clamping band, an overriding guide is formed between the engaging claw and a second tool-catching claw of the inner band part. The overriding guide is outwardly projected to radially outwardly guide an outer end of the outer band part when the engaging claw is moved to an engage hole from a temporary engage hole.

Abstract: An upright portion of an inner band section is inserted into an elongated hole in an outer band section, and a tab stopper of the outer band section is inserted in a cutout hole on the base end side of the upright portion. As a result, a band member is temporarily held in a ring shape. When an inner and an outer pulling claw are pulled together, a fixing hole in the outer band section engages a fixing claw of the inner band section and the tab stopper engages a stopper receiving hole. This results in the band member being fixed with its diameter reduced.

When an inner and an outer pulling claw are pulled together, a fixing hole in the outer band section engages a fixing claw of the inner band section and the tab-like stopper engages a stopper receiving hole.

Abstract: The clamping band is capable of reducing a diameter with an ordinary tool or without the tool and improving working efficiency of clamping object members. The clamping band comprises: a first hook including a first projection, which can be engaged with the tool, and a second projection, which prevents rotation of a ring-shaped band member when a lever is pressed onto an external member; a second hook for engaging with the tool, the second hook being outwardly projected from the band member and located close to a position on which the lever is laid; and a clipping member for clipping and holding the lever in a laid state, the clipping member being located close to buckles.

Abstract: The clamping band manufacturing machine is capable of full-automatically manufacturing the clamping bands and highly increasing the manufacturing efficiency. The machine comprises a main machine part and parts feeding mechanisms. In the main machine part, a band shaping stage welds a clasp on a band section, bends the band section in an arc, and overlaps both end portions of the band section. A lever welding stage welds a lever and the overlapped portion of the band section. An examination stage measures a length of an overlapped portion of the band section and the lever material. An arc shaping stage bends the lever in an arc. A circular shaping stage expands the bent portion of the band section. A conveying mechanism synchronously conveying the band section to each of the sages, which are serially arranged. The feeding mechanisms feed the parts, e.g., the clasp, to the main machine part.

Abstract: A band clamping machine is provided for clamping a metallic clamping band having a band section, a lever for reducing an inner diameter of the looped band section, and a pair of fixing pieces for holding the lever. The band clamping machine includes a diameter reduction mechanism having a clamping arm for turning down the lever and an arm driving mechanism moving the clamping arm so as to turn down the lever. The arm driving mechanism includes a first mechanism for moving the clamping arm from an initial position to a mid position, and a second mechanism for moving the clamping arm from the mid position to a final position. A fixing mechanism is provided to bend the fixing pieces inward to fix the lever at the final position between the fixing pieces.

Abstract: A clamping band has a metallic band section with a first end, formed into a Y-shaped fork having a pair of fork pieces. A pair of concave sections are formed in each side edge of the band section. and are capable of accommodating the fork pieces. A clamping ear is formed by bending a part of the band section. The clamping ear is provided at a prescribed position at which both end sections of the band section are overlapped when the band section is formed into a loop. An engaging piece is provided in the vicinity of the Y-shaped fork of the band section. A first engagement hole is capable of engaging with the engaging piece. The first engagement hole is provided in the vicinity of the other end of the band section, whereby the band section is formed into the loop when the first engagement hole is engaged with the engaging piece.

Abstract: The present invention provides a band-clamping apparatus, which is capable of automatically clamping clamping bands wound. In the apparatus, a holding table holds a member to be clamped, which has been wound by the clamping band. A stopper prevents the clamping band on the member to be clamped, which has been held by the holding table, from moving, and the stopper is capable of contacting the holding pieces from the opposite side of a lever. A pushing arm turns the lever onto an outer face of a band section. A bending mechanism inwardly bends the holding pieces so as to secure the lever onto the outer face of the band section when the lever is located between the holding pieces. With the band-clamping apparatus of the present invention, manufacturing efficiency can be sharply raised, the clamping work can be executed safely, and the clamping strength can be maintain in the predetermined range.

Abstract: Medical apparatus of the present invention effectively uses ozone as an anesthetic by spraying ozone gas onto affected bodily parts such as hands, arms, legs. Upon inserting affected parts in an airtight body, ozone gas is circulated in the airtight body; likewise, a sprayer for spraying ozone gas onto affected bodily parts is provided in a hood, which is attached to a conduit member having a feeding path and a withdrawing path, so as to feed ozone gas to the inner space of the hood.

Abstract: A lever of a metallic binding band is gripped by holding pieces. A pair of forming pieces are located in the loop section of the binding section of the metallic binding band. Forming pieces having outer circumferential arc faces are offset from each other laterally so that the binding section is expanded by the forming pieces into true circle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clamping band having ends, more precisely relates to one which can be attached or detached after a member to be clamped is connected to a hose, etc. and which has high clamping force. In the clamping band of the present invention, the projection of the lever can be easily fitted in the engagement hole of the band, so that the fulcrum point of the lever can be easily fitted, and clamping work including winding action and lever operation can be executed smoothly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reforming the initial shape of an approximately loop-shaped starting piece into a final prescribed loop-shape. A plurality of elongated elements such as wire rods are arranged in parallel at prescribed intervals to define a prescribed looped or cylindrical space having a first diameter. A plurality of pressing means such as pressing plates actuated by cylinders and pistons press free ends of the elongated elements to reduce the diameter of the looped space prescribed by the elongated elements to define a reduced looped space having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The free ends of the elongated elements are then inserted within the starting piece. The pressing means are retracted, whereby the free ends of the elongated elements contact the inner surface of the starting piece.
