A ring for clasping a cylindrical object includes a first element, a second element and a switch mechanism. The second element is circumferentially butted with the first element, and one end of the first element is adjacent to one end of the second element. The end of the second element has a protrusion protruding outwardly. The switch mechanism includes an abutting member adjacent to the end of the first element and configured to be rotated to abut against or move away from the protrusion of the end of the second element. When the abutting member is rotated and abuts against the protrusion of the end of the second element, the second element is fixed; when the abutting member is rotated and moves away from the protrusion of the end of the second element, the second element is released.

A mount for an auxiliary handlebar, the mount comprising: a stem; a fastener configured to receive the auxiliary handlebar; a clamp configured to secure the mount to a primary handlebar; and a clamp lock comprising: a linkage rotatably connected to the stem; and a cam lever rotatably connected to the linkage; wherein the clamp lock is configured to selectively lock the clamp.

The pinch clamp has a ratchet mechanism for selectively securing two jaw assemblies of the pinch clamp together. The ratchet mechanism includes a ratchet with a plurality of notches fixedly mounted on an end of one jaw assembly and a pawl member integrally mounted on an end of the other jaw assembly for selectively engaging in one of the notches of the ratchet. A finger release portion extends integrally from the pawl member for moving the pawl member from engagement with the ratchet.

A retrievable shaft locking mechanism for axial and rotational locking on smooth round shafts with a lever providing tensioning of the clamping ring and vectorially supporting a clamping action through a horizontal dowel pin.

A wire clamp includes a base and first and second jaws. The first jaw is pivotally mounted to a first upright portion of the base via a first pivot axle, and the second jaw is pivotally mounted to a second upright portion of the base via a second pivot axle. The first and second jaws crisscross each other at an overlap area, and are spring-biased to pivot relative to the base towards a closed position. Respective hook members of the first and second jaws define a mouth above the overlap area that is configured to receive a wire. A size of the mouth adjusts automatically to a size of the wire within the mouth as the first and second jaws pivot towards the closed position. The wire may be held within the mouth in an in-line orientation with a corresponding terminal to which the wire will be crimped.

A clamping force visualization device, including a first clamping body (01) for clamping an object; the first clamping body (01) is telescopically assembled on a base (14), an elastic element (110) is provided between the first clamping body (01) and the base (14), and a clamping force scale (11) and a reading indicator (15) are respectively provided on the first clamping body (01) and the base (14); when the first clamping body (01) clamps the object, the elastic element (110) measures a clamping force and the reading indicator (15) points to the clamping force scale (11) for reading, so that the magnitude of the clamping force can be intuitively seen and read during clamping, thereby achieving accurate clamping. A clamp including the clamping force visualization device is also involved.
