Abstract
A capillary mounting clip is disclosed. The capillary mounting clip includes a first planar surface, a second planar surface aligned parallel to the first planar surface, a curvilinear capillary mounting surface carried between the first planar surface and the second planar surface wherein the curvilinear capillary clip mounting surface is sized to smoothly accept a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a capillary tube; and a capillary slot defined within the second planar surface wherein the capillary slot is aligned substantially perpendicular to the first planar surface.
Claims15
A capillary mounting clip, comprising:
- a first planar surface;
- a second planar surface aligned parallel to the first planar surface;
- a curvilinear capillary mounting surface carried between the first planar surface and the second planar surface, wherein the curvilinear capillary mounting surface is sized to smoothly accept a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a capillary tube;
- and
- a capillary slot defined within the second planar surface, wherein the capillary slot includes a curvilinear capillary mounting surface configured to direct the capillary tube substantially perpendicular to the first planar surface.
A capillary mounting clip, comprising:
- a substantially U-shaped bracket, the substantially U-shaped bracket including:
- a back mounting surface having a mounting hole disposed therein;
- a front mounting surface aligned substantially parallel to the back mounting surface;
- a capillary mounting channel carried between the back mounting surface and the front mounting surface, wherein the capillary mounting channel includes a curvilinear surface;
- and
- a capillary slot formed within the front mounting surface, wherein the capillary slot includes a transition surface configured to smoothly transition the curvilinear surface to the capillary slot;
- wherein the capillary mounting channel and the capillary slot are sized to smoothly accept and support a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a capillary tube.
