Tube clamp

A tube holder comprising:

• a common housing;
• and
• at least one tube clamp, each tube clamp having:
• a tube entry along a major surface of the common housing;
• a tube receiving channel that extends through the housing;
• a first tube passageway that extends from the tube entry into the common housing, such that the tube receiving channel is coupled to the first tube passageway;
• and
• a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism having:
• a lever handle user operable to transition from a first position to a second position;
• a gate coupled to the lever handle;
• a tube pinch coupled to the lever handle;
• the clamping mechanism is configured such that:
• when the lever handle is in the first position, the gate exposes the tube receiving channel to the first tube passageway and the tube pinch is disposed in an unclamped position relative to the tube receiving channel;
• and
• when the lever handle is in the second position, the gate at least partially blocks the tube receiving channel from the first tube passageway, and the tube pinch is disposed in a clamped position relative to the tube receiving channel;
• and
• the clamping mechanism is further configured such that when the lever handle is in the second position, the lever handle at least partially covers the tube entry;
• a second tube passageway that connects the first tube passageway to the tube receiving channel, wherein the second tube passageway extends angularly into the housing from the first tube passageway;
• the second tube passageway defines a second passthrough that slots through the housing from the front face through to the back face;
• and
• a barricade forming a divider between the second tube passageway and the tube receiving channel,
• wherein:
• when a tube is positioned within the tube receiving channel so as to pass through the housing and the lever handle of the clamping mechanism is in the second position:
• the tube pinch pinches the tube so as to prevent a flow of a fluid through a pinch point of the tube.
