Patent number: 9162044Abstract: A clamp (10) for a flexible tube, in particular an infusion tube, composed of a substantially U-shaped plastic band, the free end (111) of the first branch (11?) of the U being bent over to form the clamp head (11), to the free end (121) of the second branch, or back (12), so that, when closed, the back's free end (121) rests under the head's free end (111), and when opened, the back's free end (121) is at a distance above the head's free end (1110. The clamp has openings (114, 134) for extending a flexible tube and two opposite projections (113, 123) for obturating the flexible tube by compressing it when the clamp is closed. Locking means (112, 122) prevent the head end (111) from moving away from the back end (121) when the clamp (10) is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: FRESENIUS VIAL SASInventor: Philippe Traversaz

Patent number: 8047482Abstract: A device for securing an object on a holder includes a platen attached to the object, a tightening element that pivots relative to the platen so that it can be folded back against the platen or raised perpendicularly to the platen. A lock is provided for locking the tightening element in the position perpendicular to the platen. The lock includes a tab that moves between a stowed position in which, when the tightening element is in the raised position, the tab bears against the tightening element and blocks it in this position, and a drawn out position in which the tab allows the tightening element to pivot towards the platen so that, in the folded position of the tightening element, the tab bears against a face of the tightening means different from the inner face.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Fresenius Vial SASInventors: Gilbert Poncon, Philippe Traversaz
