Abstract

A slide clamp (10), suitable for engaging flexible tubing (29), has a body (12) formed of an elongated first body portion (14) and a second body portion (16) extending laterally therefrom. An opening (20), formed continuously through a central region of the body (12), spans the first and second body portions (14, 16). The opening (20) has a first opening portion (22) in the first body portion (14) and a second opening portion (24) in the second body portion (16). The first opening portion (22) has, at one end, a narrowed width region (26) sufficient to squeeze together opposite walls of the tubing (29) when the slide clamp (10) is in use. There is a widened width region (30) at an opposite end of the first opening portion where the first body portion (14) meets the second body portion (16), and dimensioned to not squeeze opposite walls of the tubing (29) when it is received therethrough. The second opening portion (24) has two projecting grip edges (32, 34) at an end where the second body portion (16) meets the first body portion (14). The projecting grip edges (32, 34) project across an entrance (36) to an aperture (38) dimensioned to releasably grip the tubing (29) stably to the slide clamp (10) when the slide clamp is not in use.
