Description
A DEVICE FOR CLAMPING AND CUTTING
The present invention relates to a device for squeezing and cutting e.g. an umbilical cord, and the device has at least one clamp with two legs interconnected by a hinge at one end of the clamp, and a holder by means of which the clamp can be closed. The holder has a knife cutting the umbilical cord after it has been squeezed by the clamp.
US-A-4,856,517 relates to such a device where the holder consists of a lower part and an upper part interconnected by a hinge. The holder has two grooves into which two open clamps can be inserted. When the holder closes on an umbilical cord, the :lamps are also closed. The holder and the clamps are locked in the end position. After the umbilical cord has thus been squeezed in two places, it is cut by a slide and knife being shifted on the holder between the two clamps. The locking mechanism of the holder is then released, and the two squeezed parts of the umbilical cord can be released from the holder.
Because of the two-piece holder and the separate slide this prior art device is very complicated to make. And when the holder is opened after an umbilical cord has been cut, the knife is exposed which has to be considered very unfortunate from a safety point of view.
In accordance with a broad aspect, the present invention provides a device for squeezing and cutting that comprises a clamp, a clamp holder and cutting means.
The clamp has a pair of legs hinged together at one end and openable apart to form an opening in order to receive a member between the pair of legs for squeezing and cutting the member.

In accordance with another broad aspect, the present invention provides a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord. The device comprises a control clamp, a second clamp and a clamp holder.
The control clamp has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween. One of the two legs includes a control part at the free end thereof.
The second clamp has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, and the two legs include at the free ends a catch for mutually locking the two legs in a fixed abutment position.
The clamp holder has two opposite wall members, each of which are provided with two recesses for slidably receiving the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp, respectively.
The holder further has a partition wall that carries a knife and joins the two opposite wall members. The knife protrudes in one direction from the partition wall into a first interior part of the holder, The partition wall and the knife are arranged in parallel with a longitudinal plane of two recesses and are so positioned as to enable the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp to pass on opposite sides of the knife while sliding in their respective recesses. The separation between the opposite wall members is just sufficient to allow the legs of the control clamp and the legs of the second clamp to slide in their respective recesses when the free ends of the legs of each clamp are squeezed together, wherein squeezing and cutting of the umbilical cord is performed by slidably inserting the hinge ends of the legs of the control clamp and the second clamp into the recesses, respectively, in the first interior part of the holder, inserting the umbilical cord in the opening between the two legs of the control clamp and the second clamp, and pressing together the holder and the control part at the control clamp, pushing the control clamp and the second clamp through the recesses, respectively, to first squeeze the umbilical cord between the legs and subsequently cut the umbilical cord, while passing the partition wall and the knife.
Still another broad aspect of the present invention provides a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises a clamp and a holder that includes recesses, a knife and a tab area.
The clamp has two legs interconnected by a hinge. The free ends of the legs are spaced apart and are yieldably movable towards each other while compressing the clamp.
The holder includes recesses for supporting the two legs of the clamp, the knife and the tab area for bringing the holder from a first inactive position to a second position, in which the free ends of the legs are brought into mutual engagement, and the umbilical cord is squeezed and cut.
The holder includes two opposite wall members that are arranged, in the first inactive position and in the second position, substantially in parallel and are joined by a partition wall that carries the knife. Each of the opposite wall members are provided with at least one throuqhgoing bore, so that a distance between at least one throughgoing bore in each of the opposite wall members corresponds substantially to a maximum width of the clamp when compressed, so as to enable the holder to be slidably shifted on the clamp from the first inactive position at the hinge to the second position at the free ends of the legs thereof.
In accordance with a further broad aspect, the invention provides the use of a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises at least one clamp and a knife carrying holder.
The clamp has a pair of legs that have free ends. The clamp is adapted for receiving an umbilical cord between the 5 two legs of the clamp.
The knife carrying holder is adapted for shifting from a first inactive position to a second position, wherein in the second position the free ends are adapted for being brought into mutual engagement for squeezing and cutting the umbilical cord. The knife carrying holder includes a partition wall that carries a knife and joins two opposite wall members for slidingly receiving the two legs of the clamp.
In accordance with another broad aspect, the present invention provides the use of a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises at least one clamp and a holder.
The clamp has two legs that are adapted for receiving an umbilical cord therebetween. The two being are interconnected by a hinge, and have free ends in a normal spaced apart position and are yieldably movable towards each other while compressing the clamp.
The holder has two opposite wall members that are arranged substantially in parallel and joined by a partition wall carrying a knife. Each of the opposite wall members are provided with at least one throughgoing bore so that a distance between the throughgoing bore in each of the opposite wall members corresponds substantially to a maximum width of the clamp when compressed. The holder is adapted to be slidably shifted on the clamp from a first inactive position at the hing~s to a second position at the free ends of the legs thereof so that the free ends of the legs are brought into mutual engagement for squeezing and cutting the umbilical cord.
The present invention provides a holder for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord by use of a control clamp that has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, one of the two legs includes a control part at the free end thereof, and a second clamp that has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, and the two legs include at the free ends a catch for mutually locking the two legs in a fixed abutment position.
The holder comprises two opposite wall members and a partition wall. Each of the two opposite wall members is provided with two recesses for slidably receiving the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp, respectively. The partition wall carries a knife and joins the two opposite wall members. The knife protrudes in one direction from the partition wall into a first interior part of the holder. The partition wall and the knife are arranged in parallel with a longitudinal plane of the two recesses and so positioned as to enable the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp to pass on opposite sides of the knife while sliding in their respective recesses. The separation between the opposite wall members is just sufficient to allow the legs of the control clamp and the legs of the second clamp to slide in their respective recesses when the free ends of the legs of each clamp are squeezed together, wherein squeezing and cutting of the umbilical cord is performed by slidably inserting the hinge ends of the legs of the control clamp and the second clamp into the recesses, respectively, in the first interior part of the holder, inserting the umbilical cord in the opening between the two legs of the control clamp and the second clamp, and pressing together the holder and the control part at the control clamp, pushing the control clamp and the second clamp through the recesses, respectively, to first squeeze the umbilical cord between the legs and subsequently cut the umbilical cord, while passing the partition wall and the knife.
The objective of the invention is to show a device of the said kind, but without the above-mentioned disadvantages.
The device must, therefore, be simple to make (fewer parts and simpler shapes), and the knife must be placed so that it is always inaccessible. According to the Danish Working Environment Service, inaccessibility means that no access to the knife has an opening larger than approx. 6 mm.
According to the invention this is achieved by the holder being provided with a through-going bore of a design allowing the hinged end of the clamp to be inserted in the bore and of a size allowing the holder to be moved along the legs of the clamp so that the clamp is closed and the knife of the holder is stationary and placed in such a way that the umbilical cord is cut when the clamp is closed and the holder is shifted further along the legs of the clamp.
To cut an umbilical cord, two clamps are normally used, and according to the invention it is, therefore, expedient that the holder should have a second identical bore, in parallel with the first-mentioned bore, for a second identical clamp and that the knife should be placed between the two bores.
The second clamp has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, and the two legs include at the free ends a catch for mutually locking the two legs in a fixed abutment position.
The clamp holder has two opposite wall members, each of which are provided with two recesses for slidably receiving the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp, respectively.
The holder further has a partition wall that carries a knife and joins the two opposite wall members. The knife protrudes in one direction from the partition wall into a first interior part of the holder, The partition wall and the knife are arranged in parallel with a longitudinal plane of two recesses and are so positioned as to enable the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp to pass on opposite sides of the knife while sliding in their respective recesses. The separation between the opposite wall members is just sufficient to allow the legs of the control clamp and the legs of the second clamp to slide in their respective recesses when the free ends of the legs of each clamp are squeezed together, wherein squeezing and cutting of the umbilical cord is performed by slidably inserting the hinge ends of the legs of the control clamp and the second clamp into the recesses, respectively, in the first interior part of the holder, inserting the umbilical cord in the opening between the two legs of the control clamp and the second clamp, and pressing together the holder and the control part at the control clamp, pushing the control clamp and the second clamp through the recesses, respectively, to first squeeze the umbilical cord between the legs and subsequently cut the umbilical cord, while passing the partition wall and the knife.
Still another broad aspect of the present invention provides a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises a clamp and a holder that includes recesses, a knife and a tab area.
The clamp has two legs interconnected by a hinge. The free ends of the legs are spaced apart and are yieldably movable towards each other while compressing the clamp.
The holder includes recesses for supporting the two legs of the clamp, the knife and the tab area for bringing the holder from a first inactive position to a second position, in which the free ends of the legs are brought into mutual engagement, and the umbilical cord is squeezed and cut.
The holder includes two opposite wall members that are arranged, in the first inactive position and in the second position, substantially in parallel and are joined by a partition wall that carries the knife. Each of the opposite wall members are provided with at least one throuqhgoing bore, so that a distance between at least one throughgoing bore in each of the opposite wall members corresponds substantially to a maximum width of the clamp when compressed, so as to enable the holder to be slidably shifted on the clamp from the first inactive position at the hinge to the second position at the free ends of the legs thereof.
In accordance with a further broad aspect, the invention provides the use of a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises at least one clamp and a knife carrying holder.
The clamp has a pair of legs that have free ends. The clamp is adapted for receiving an umbilical cord between the 5 two legs of the clamp.
The knife carrying holder is adapted for shifting from a first inactive position to a second position, wherein in the second position the free ends are adapted for being brought into mutual engagement for squeezing and cutting the umbilical cord. The knife carrying holder includes a partition wall that carries a knife and joins two opposite wall members for slidingly receiving the two legs of the clamp.
In accordance with another broad aspect, the present invention provides the use of a device for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord that comprises at least one clamp and a holder.
The clamp has two legs that are adapted for receiving an umbilical cord therebetween. The two being are interconnected by a hinge, and have free ends in a normal spaced apart position and are yieldably movable towards each other while compressing the clamp.
The holder has two opposite wall members that are arranged substantially in parallel and joined by a partition wall carrying a knife. Each of the opposite wall members are provided with at least one throughgoing bore so that a distance between the throughgoing bore in each of the opposite wall members corresponds substantially to a maximum width of the clamp when compressed. The holder is adapted to be slidably shifted on the clamp from a first inactive position at the hing~s to a second position at the free ends of the legs thereof so that the free ends of the legs are brought into mutual engagement for squeezing and cutting the umbilical cord.
The present invention provides a holder for squeezing and cutting an umbilical cord by use of a control clamp that has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, one of the two legs includes a control part at the free end thereof, and a second clamp that has two legs that are interconnected at a hinge end by a hinge and have free ends at the opposite end. The free ends define an opening therebetween, and the two legs include at the free ends a catch for mutually locking the two legs in a fixed abutment position.
The holder comprises two opposite wall members and a partition wall. Each of the two opposite wall members is provided with two recesses for slidably receiving the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp, respectively. The partition wall carries a knife and joins the two opposite wall members. The knife protrudes in one direction from the partition wall into a first interior part of the holder. The partition wall and the knife are arranged in parallel with a longitudinal plane of the two recesses and so positioned as to enable the two legs of the control clamp and the two legs of the second clamp to pass on opposite sides of the knife while sliding in their respective recesses. The separation between the opposite wall members is just sufficient to allow the legs of the control clamp and the legs of the second clamp to slide in their respective recesses when the free ends of the legs of each clamp are squeezed together, wherein squeezing and cutting of the umbilical cord is performed by slidably inserting the hinge ends of the legs of the control clamp and the second clamp into the recesses, respectively, in the first interior part of the holder, inserting the umbilical cord in the opening between the two legs of the control clamp and the second clamp, and pressing together the holder and the control part at the control clamp, pushing the control clamp and the second clamp through the recesses, respectively, to first squeeze the umbilical cord between the legs and subsequently cut the umbilical cord, while passing the partition wall and the knife.
The objective of the invention is to show a device of the said kind, but without the above-mentioned disadvantages.
The device must, therefore, be simple to make (fewer parts and simpler shapes), and the knife must be placed so that it is always inaccessible. According to the Danish Working Environment Service, inaccessibility means that no access to the knife has an opening larger than approx. 6 mm.
According to the invention this is achieved by the holder being provided with a through-going bore of a design allowing the hinged end of the clamp to be inserted in the bore and of a size allowing the holder to be moved along the legs of the clamp so that the clamp is closed and the knife of the holder is stationary and placed in such a way that the umbilical cord is cut when the clamp is closed and the holder is shifted further along the legs of the clamp.
To cut an umbilical cord, two clamps are normally used, and according to the invention it is, therefore, expedient that the holder should have a second identical bore, in parallel with the first-mentioned bore, for a second identical clamp and that the knife should be placed between the two bores.
In the said device, the knife is stationary inside the holder so that it will not be accessible even after cutting an umbilical cord. And the holder is constituted e.g. by a die cast part without. a separate slide. The entire device thus consists of a ho7_der and one or two clamps.
According to the invention it is expedient that the second clamp should have a catch at the free end of the legs for locking the clamp in the closed position, and that the second bore should open outwards and be equipped with blocking devices which interact with corresponding devices on the opening when the holder is shifted past the position in which the clamp is locked and the umbilical cord is cut.
When the umbilical cord has been cut, the second locked clamp can then be separated easily from the holder which is still locking the first clamp.
In what follows, the invention is described further in connection with the drawings where Fig. 1 is a perspective of the disposable safety squeezing device in the open position, with two clamps on which the control clamp faces downward;
Fig. 2 a side view of the disposable squeezing device in the open position and with the control clamp mounted;
Fig. 3 a side view of the clamp holder seen from one side;
Fig. 4 a side view of the control clamp in the open position;
Fig. 5 a side view of the second clamp in the open position;
Fig. 6 a side view of the clamp holder seen from the other side, and Fig. 7 a perspective view of the disposable safety squeezing device in the closed position, with one clamp released after the umbilical cord has been cut.
Fig. 1 shows a disposable double squeezing device with a control clamp 1 and a second clamp 12.
The control clamp 1 and the second clamp 12 are pushed into through-going bores or grooves 13 and 13a in a clamp holder.
Clamp holder 5 has two control tabs 6 and a partition 7 between the two grooves 13 and 13a. An inclined knife 8 is mounted in the partition 7.
Clamps 1 and 12 are secured in one direction in grooves 13 and 13a of the slide by their initial tension. In the opposite direction, at right angles to the first-mentioned direction, the control clamp 1 is secured by the outer wall 14 which closes the groove 13a, and some projections 9 which close the groove 13 for the second clamp 12.
The control clamp 1 has a contact part 3 (Fig. 4) which, when it is desired to use the second clamp 12, secures the latter in the same fixed position as the control clamp 1.
The second clamp 12 has recesses 11 which after shifting of the clamp holder 5 to the closed position (Fig. 7) are placed opposite to the projections 9 on the clamp holder. In this position it is possible to release the second clamp 12 from the clamp holder: 5.
In its closed position the second clamp 12 is locked to the object by the catch 15.
Both clamps have recesses 4 in their longitudinal direction which secure that deformations caused by squeezing will take place in these recesses.
The object which may be an umbilical cord is inserted in 5 the opening between clamps 1 and 12 (Fig. 1).
The control clamp 1 has a control part 2 which is used as a counter pressure part when the clamp holder 5 is shifted with two fingers on the control tabs 6.
The object is squeezed during the first stage of 10 shifting. Further shifting brings the inclined knife 8 of the clamp holder into contact with the object which is then cut (Fig. 7). After cutting, the control clamp 1 continues to squeeze one part of the object and can be released from the object again by shifting the clamp holder 5 in the opposite direction.
When released from the clamp holder 5, the second clamp 12 remains locked in the closed position by the catch 15 and is released by cutting the spring bow 16 of the clamp.
According to the invention it is expedient that the second clamp should have a catch at the free end of the legs for locking the clamp in the closed position, and that the second bore should open outwards and be equipped with blocking devices which interact with corresponding devices on the opening when the holder is shifted past the position in which the clamp is locked and the umbilical cord is cut.
When the umbilical cord has been cut, the second locked clamp can then be separated easily from the holder which is still locking the first clamp.
In what follows, the invention is described further in connection with the drawings where Fig. 1 is a perspective of the disposable safety squeezing device in the open position, with two clamps on which the control clamp faces downward;

Fig. 1 shows a disposable double squeezing device with a control clamp 1 and a second clamp 12.
The control clamp 1 and the second clamp 12 are pushed into through-going bores or grooves 13 and 13a in a clamp holder.
Clamp holder 5 has two control tabs 6 and a partition 7 between the two grooves 13 and 13a. An inclined knife 8 is mounted in the partition 7.
Clamps 1 and 12 are secured in one direction in grooves 13 and 13a of the slide by their initial tension. In the opposite direction, at right angles to the first-mentioned direction, the control clamp 1 is secured by the outer wall 14 which closes the groove 13a, and some projections 9 which close the groove 13 for the second clamp 12.
The control clamp 1 has a contact part 3 (Fig. 4) which, when it is desired to use the second clamp 12, secures the latter in the same fixed position as the control clamp 1.
The second clamp 12 has recesses 11 which after shifting of the clamp holder 5 to the closed position (Fig. 7) are placed opposite to the projections 9 on the clamp holder. In this position it is possible to release the second clamp 12 from the clamp holder: 5.
In its closed position the second clamp 12 is locked to the object by the catch 15.
Both clamps have recesses 4 in their longitudinal direction which secure that deformations caused by squeezing will take place in these recesses.
The object which may be an umbilical cord is inserted in 5 the opening between clamps 1 and 12 (Fig. 1).
The control clamp 1 has a control part 2 which is used as a counter pressure part when the clamp holder 5 is shifted with two fingers on the control tabs 6.
The object is squeezed during the first stage of 10 shifting. Further shifting brings the inclined knife 8 of the clamp holder into contact with the object which is then cut (Fig. 7). After cutting, the control clamp 1 continues to squeeze one part of the object and can be released from the object again by shifting the clamp holder 5 in the opposite direction.
When released from the clamp holder 5, the second clamp 12 remains locked in the closed position by the catch 15 and is released by cutting the spring bow 16 of the clamp.
