Heater clamp for injection molding

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A clamp for securing a heater element to an injector barrel that includes a tube disposed about the heater element having a slit extending along the entire length of the tube which forms slit edges extending between ends of the tube. Clips extend about the tube and have central clip portions slidably engaging the tube by the slit edges. The clips are joined to a pair of clip pivots which define a pivotal axis substantially normal to the slit edges and extend through the tube at a location spaced away from the slit edges. The clips pivot with respect to the tube by using adjustment screws such that the central clip portion slides along the length of the tube to compress the tube around the …
