Abstract
Abstract A pair of generally semi-circular jaws are provided opening toward each other, including first and second pairs of corresponding ends and provided for clampingly embracing an arm portion therebetween. The first pair of ends of the jaws terminate in a pair of generally parallel arm portions extending outward therefrom in a direction extending away from the second pair of corresponding ends of the jaws and spring structure operatively interconnects the outer ends of the arms yieldingly biasing the latter in directions to swing the jaws toward each other. The second pair of ends of the jaws include outwardly curving terminal ends for gently "pinching" an arm injection site therebetween.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An injection site clamp comprising a pair of substantially semi-circular opposing jaws constructed of heavy gauge spring wire and disposed in closely spaced parallel planes, said jaws including first and second pairs of corresponding ends and being adapted to clampingly engage an arm portion therebetween, said first pair of corresponding ends terminating in a pair of generally parallel arm portions extending outwardly from said first ends in a direction extending away from said second ends, and spring means interconnecting the outer ends of said arms yieldingly biasing the ends of said arms from which said jaws are supported in directions to swing said jaws toward each other, said second pair of ends of said jaws including integral reversely curved and outwardly directed terminal ends adapted to lightly squeezably engage opposite remote side portions of a flesh injection site therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
An injection site clamp comprising a pair of substantially semi-circular opposing jaws constructed of heavy gauge spring wire and disposed in closely spaced parallel planes, said jaws including first and second pairs of corresponding ends and being adapted to clampingly engage an arm portion therebetween, said first pair of corresponding ends terminating in a pair of generally parallel arm portions extending outwardly from said first ends in a direction extending away from said second ends, and spring means interconnecting the outer ends of said arms yieldingly biasing the ends of said arms from which said jaws are supported in directions to swing said jaws toward each other, said second pair of ends of said jaws including integral reversely curved and outwardly directed terminal ends adapted to lightly squeezably engage opposite remote side portions of a flesh injection site therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
