SLIDING FLOW CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042129 titled 'SLIDING FLOW CONTROLLER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a flow controller with an internal tubing. The flow controller consists of an upper housing with graduations, a lower housing that is slidably coupled to the upper housing, and a cavity between the two housings to accommodate the internal tubing. It also includes a flexible clamp with an upper section mounted in the upper housing and a lower section slidably disposed in the lower housing. The upper and lower housings can be slidably coupled to transition the internal tubing from an open position to a closed position, where the lumen of the tubing is partially constricted by the flexible clamp.
- The flow controller has an upper and lower housing that can slide relative to each other.
- It includes a flexible clamp to compress the internal tubing.
- The upper housing has graduations for measurement.
- The flow controller can transition the tubing from an open to a closed position.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical devices and equipment that require controlled flow of fluids.
- Industrial processes that involve precise fluid flow control.
- Laboratory instruments that require accurate measurement and control of fluids.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures precise control and measurement of fluid flow.
- Prevents leakage and maintains consistent flow rates.
- Provides a compact and efficient solution for flow control.
Benefits of this technology:
- Accurate and reliable flow control.
- Easy to use and adjust.
- Compact and space-saving design.
- Durable and long-lasting.
Original Abstract Submitted
a flow controller having an internal tubing is provided. the flow controller may include an upper housing having a plurality of graduations, a lower housing engaged with and slidably coupled to the lower housing, and a cavity defined between the upper and lower housings for accommodating at least a portion of internal tubing. the flow controller may further include a flexible clamp having an upper section mounted in the upper housing and a lower section slidably disposed in the lower housing. the upper and lower housings may be slidably coupled relative to each other to transition the internal tubing from (i) an open position where a lumen of the internal tubing is uncompressed by the flexible clamp to (ii) a closed position where the lumen of the tubing is at least partially constricted by the flexible clamp.
