Patent attributes
A device for controllably restricting flow through a resilient tube including a block and a pair of generally J-shaped leg members pivotally mounted to the block. The leg members, when pivoted together, together provide a tube support surface. The block is formed with a bore in which there is a rotatable internally threaded sleeve. A jaw member having a threaded shaft is threadedly mated to the sleeve and a knob is fixedly secured to the sleeve for rotation therewith. Accordingly, rotation of the knob moves the jaw member toward and away from the tube support surface to provide desired compression to a length of resilient tubing captured between the jaw and the tube support surface. By pivoting the leg members away from each other, space is provided for installation of the flow restriction device at any desired point along the length of the tubing.
