Abstract

A constricting device for body parts, has a housing, a clamping rocker supported in the housing rotatable between a clamping position in which one end of the clamping rocker clamps a band extending through the housing against a housing wall and an opposite releasing position in which it releases the band, so that the clamping rocker in a constriccting position of the band which is under tension is turned to the clamping position while a manual pressure applied to the clamping rocker turns the latter to the releasing position. A releasable arresting closure is provided between another end of the clamping rocker and an end of the band at the side of the housing, and a mechanical transmission member which during application of an actuating pressure to the clamping rocker first turns the clamping rocker to the releasing position and then after a release of the band opens the arresting closure.

Dependent claims

A constricting device for body parts, comprising a housing;

a clamping rocker rotatably supported in said housing, said clamping member being rotatable between a clamping position in which one end of said clamping rocker clamps a band extending through said housing against a housing wall and an opposite releasing position in which it releases said band, said clamping rocker, when said band which is in a constricting position under tension, being rotated in one direction to said clamping position under the action of the tension while a manual actuating pressure applied to said clamping rocker rotates said clamping rocker in an opposite direction to said releasing position;
a releasable arresting closure provided between another end of said clamping rocker and an end of the band;
and a mechanical transmission member cooperating with said clamping rocker and with said arresting closure so that during applying the manual actuating pressure to said clamping rocker said mechanical transmission member first rotates said clamping rocker to said releasing position and then after a release of said band opens said arresting closure.
