Tourniquet with adjustable compression and locking mechanisms
The granted patent US12042154B2 describes a tourniquet designed for effective compression and ease of use in emergency situations. The tourniquet features a base composed of at least two sections with a cap attached to one of them. A compression strap is affixed to the base, extending across it, with a portion sandwiched between the base and the cap. The design includes a windlass handle with a strap aperture through which the compression strap is threaded and stitched to form a loop. Additionally, the tourniquet incorporates a locking strap, a handle stop that slides along the locking strap, and a strap connector assembly featuring a buckle frame and a self-cinching sliding arm. This assembly allows the compression strap to be threaded through the buckle frame, with a buckle connector that engages the frame.
The patent further details specific features of the compression strap and stitching patterns. The stitch pattern can take various forms, including triangular, diamond, I, T, or V shapes, and is centered along the width of the strap. The maximum width of the stitch pattern is specified to be between ¼ to ½ of the strap's width. Additional claims include the presence of a handle lock that can slide along the locking strap and the ability for the buckle connector to slide along the compression strap, enhancing the tourniquet's functionality during use. Overall, the design aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of the tourniquet in medical emergencies.
