Abstract
A chemical reactor clamp for supporting a glassware or equivalent chemical reactor having a neck includes: (a) a central housing; (b) a spring-biased yoke connected to the central housing and extending outwardly therefrom for a attachment to the reactor neck; (c) a female socket on the central housing and adapted to receive a clamp rod; and, (d) a clamp rod locking mechanism on the central housing at the female socket. There is also a combination of the clamp with the rod, as well as a system with the clamp, rod and rod support unit, as well as a system with these components and a second rod (vertical rod) and a vertical rod base, to provide multiple degrees of freedom of movement for the clamp.
Claims14
A chemical reactor clamp and rod for supporting a glassware reactor or equivalent chemical reactor having a neck, which comprises:
- A.) a clamp having the following components:
- (a) a central housing;
- (b) a spring-biased yoke connected to said central housing and extending outwardly therefrom for a attachment to said reactor neck;
- (c) a female socket on said central housing and adapted to receive a clamp rod;
- and,
- (d) a clamp rod locking mechanism on said central housing at said female socket wherein said clamp rod locking mechanism includes a slide button;
- and,
- B.) a rod for connection to said clamp, said rod being elongated with a central portion, a first end and an opposing second end, wherein said first end is wider than said central portion and is adapted to fit into said female socket.
A chemical reactor clamp system for supporting a glassware reactor or equivalent chemical reactor having a neck, which comprises:
- A.) a clamp having the following components:
- (a) a central housing;
- (b) a spring-biased yoke connected to said central housing and extending outwardly therefrom for a attachment to said reactor neck;
- (c) a female socket on said central housing and adapted to receive a clamp rod;
- and
- (d) a clamp rod locking mechanism on said central housing at said female socket wherein said clamp rod locking mechanism includes a slide button;
- B.) a rod for connection to said clamp, said rod being elongated with a central portion, a first end and an opposing second end, wherein said first end is wider than said central portion and is adapted to fit into said female socket, and wherein said second end has a key shape adapted to fit into a keyhole;
- C.) a rod support unit, including a support housing and a rod keyhole adapted to receive said second end of said rod.
A chemical reactor clamp for supporting a glassware or equivalent chemical reactor having a neck, which comprises:
- (a.) a central housing;
- (b.) a spring-biased yoke connected to said central housing and extending outwardly therefrom for attachment to said reactor neck;
- (c.) a female socket on said central housing and adapted to receive a clamp rod;
- and,
- (d.) a clamp rod locking mechanism on said central housing at said female socket wherein said clamp rod locking mechanism includes a slide button, and wherein said clamp rod locking mechanism includes a wide socket slot located in said female socket to receive said clamp rod with a wide end, and further includes a sliding cover to lock said clamp rod into said slot.
