Miklos Balazs Marelin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • BAND CLAMP WITH IMPROVED BUCKLE
    Publication number: 20170096269
    Abstract: An improved band clamp is provided that employs a punch that forms an indication in the deformed band during locking procedure. Bands are provided with one or more protrusions to provide a band with the ability to expand and thereby indicate to a user that a deformation or change in an associated object has occurred. The protrusions are provided such that a failure point of the device is preferably positioned at the band clamp.

  • Band Tensioning Tool Insert
    Publication number: 20140041747
    Abstract: A band tensioning tool is provided that employs a replaceable insert juxtaposed to a tensioning wheel. The insert is made of low-friction material wherein band galling and tension wheel slippage is drastically reduced. The tool employing the contemplated insert can tension bands of various material properties with predictable repeatability.

  • Dual locking band clamp and method of forming the same
    Patent number: 8424166
    Abstract: An improved band clamp is provided that employs a punch that forms an indication in the deformed band during locking procedure. More specifically, a punch having at least one shoulder or other indication mechanisms is provided that selectively contacts a band to deform it with respect to a buckle to lock the band and buckle of a band clamp together. The shoulder contemplated thus leaves a mark on the deformed band to quickly provide a visual indication of dimple depth.

  • Stationary band clamping apparatus
    Patent number: 8356641
    Abstract: A tensioning device is provided that includes a separable punching and cutting mechanism. Provided is an impact head that holds a buckle while the band that resides within the buckle is tensioned. After a predetermined tension is achieved, a mechanism is used to lock the band with respect to the buckle then to cut the band. Various data related to tension and cutting performance may also be outputted by the invention.
