MUMBAI, India, Aug. 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527059117 A) filed by Yan, Geng, Calgary, Canada, on June 20, for 'self-adaptive self-locking clamping apparatus.'
Inventor(s) include Yan, Geng.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The self-adaptive self-locking clamping apparatus comprises a pair of arms pivotally interconnected to each other via a fulcrum either in the middle or on one end of the pair of arms, forming a pair of jaws with at least a variable gap for load, a fulcrum and a pair of handles for effort. The pair of handles engage with each other via a pawl and ratchet mechanism to achieve directional self-locking function, so that the clamping force applied to the pair of handles are maintained after such clamping force is removed. The self-locking pawl and ratchet engagement is self-adaptive to the geometric deformation of the pair of arms resulted from the elastic deformation caused by the clamping force, creating a firm locking grip so that a user does not have to keep maintaining the clamping force while in operation."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 31, 2024, under International application No.PCT/IB2024/000061.
