KERLDEMNINGSANORDNING MED ETT BELTESSPENNE

摘要

There is disclosed a tourniquet which comprises a buckle (11) and a belt (12) which cooperates with the buckle to form a tourniquet loop (15) adjacent to the buckle. A portion of the belt is received by a belt guide (14) in the buckle (11) for longitudinal displacement, though it can be retained therein in response to belt tension. One end (21) of the belt is secured to a coupling member (13) which is pivotally and releasably mounted on a transverse shaft (19) carried by the buckle (11). The coupling member (13) is pivoted by tension in the belt to clamp the belt into position. The first lever arm (20) of the coupling member (13) is adjacent to the tourniquet loop (15), and the second lever arm (22) exerts downward clamping action on the portion of the belt (12) within the guide (14). The belt end (21) is firmly connected to the first lever arm (20) of the coupling member (13).
