<p>A bending sleeve clamp is used to control the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas) in a flexible tube. The flexible tube extends through a pair of rigid sleeves that are connected by a bending sleeve. The rigid sleeves are manipulated to bend the bending sleeve so as to form a kink in the bending sleeve, which pinches and closes off the flow in the flexible tube. The bending sleeve clamp may be biased in either an open or closed position. Preferably, the bending sleeve is pre-kinked to define where the kink will be formed and to grip the flexible tube. In addition, the bending sleeve clamp may include a mechanism to prevent the bending sleeve from being bent too far or from being stretched too much.</p> |
