Abstract
Disclosed herein is a component for a tubing clip having a body having a first end and a second end, a first tube channel, and a first arcuate arm and a second arcuate arm spaced along the body. The first arcuate arm defines the first tube channel and has a first connecting structure and the second arcuate arm has a second connecting structure for adjustably connecting to a second component.
Claims20
A component for a tubing clip comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end, a first arcuate arm at the first end defines a portion of a first tube channel and has a first connecting structure, a second arcuate arm at an intermediate portion of the body defines a portion of a second tube channel, and a third arcuate arm at the second end separated by a gap from the second arcuate arm for receiving an arcuate arm from another body between the second arcuate arm and the third arcuate arm and in contact therewith, and one of the second arcuate arm or the third arcuate arm has a second connecting structure;
- and
- wherein the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are configured for adjustably connecting to a second component to adjust a diameter of the first channel and the second channel.
A tubing clip comprising:
- a first component having a first end and a second end, a first arcuate arm at the first end defines a portion of a first tube channel and has a first connecting structure, a second arcuate arm at an intermediate portion of the first component defines a portion of a second tube channel, and a third arcuate arm at the second end spaced from the second arcuate arm by a first gap, and one of the second arcuate arm or the third arcuate arm has a second connecting structure;
- a second component having a third end and a fourth end, a fourth arcuate arm at the third end defines a portion of the second tube channel and has a third connecting structure, a fifth arcuate arm at an intermediate portion of the second component defines a portion of the first tube channel, and a sixth arcuate arm at the second end spaced from the fifth arcuate arm by a second gap, and one of the fifth arcuate arm or the sixth arcuate arm has a fourth connecting structure;
- wherein the fourth arcuate arm is positioned in the first gap and in contact with the second arcuate arm and the third arcuate arm and the first arcuate arm is positioned in the second gap and in contact with the fifth arcuate arm and the sixth arcuate arm;
- and,
- wherein the first component can be moved with respect to the second component to change a diameter of the first tube channel and the second tube channel.
