For ball-and-socket or O-ring glass joints in universal use for quick, convenient and safe mounting and dismantling of apparatus
- Strong, linear spring closing action
- Unique forked-shaped jaws provide uniform compression for safe, leak-free seals
- Screw-locking device with spring for maximum security
- Stainless steel clamps have bright, polished finish for years of chemical-impervious use and are made entirely of stainless steel — including springs, pins and knurled adjustment knobs
Thomas Pinch Clamps are the undisputed industry leader for safety and security. Progressive springs make clamp handling easy, yet provide for incredibly even seals. Threaded post on screwlocking device is precision machined for durability and ease of use; post is riveted onto clamp body for security. Knurled nut is permanently mounted on post and won’t get lost or damaged. Heavy-duty metal construction won’t deform even under the hardest use. Surface is free of burrs and irregularities that could damage costly glassware. All clamps are manufactured to our stringent standards for maximum life under tough, daily use.
A considerable load can be suspended from the joint without danger. However, the clamps are designed primarily for securing the joint and are not intended to replace the usual clamps, rings, tripods, etc. as ordinarily used for supporting glassware assemblies.
Size 75 are provided with a locking device in addition to the spiral spring.
Size 102 has flat hinge and spiral spring between the upper and lower jaws which permit adjustment of the clamp over the joint with one hand. Two slotted posts, each fitted with hinged screw and knurled head nut, are provided at the mouth of the forked jaws to lock the clamp securely in position.
Size number indicates the diameter in millimeters of the ball over which the clamp fits, and corresponds to numerator of Spherical Joint for which clamp is intended.
