20170350546 · 2017-12-07 ·

A clamp includes a housing, a band, and an actuating member. The housing defines and first slot and has a surface from which a first locking feature extends outwardly. The band has a first portion secured to the housing and a second portion extending within the first slot of the housing. The actuating member is seated at the housing and has a surface interfacing with the first locking feature. A plurality of mating features each extend outwardly from the surface of the actuating member and the plurality of mating features are spaced about a circumference of the surface of the actuating member. The actuating member is configured, when actuated, to move the second portion of the band relative to the housing. The first locking feature is configured to consecutively engage one of the plurality of mating features when the actuating member is actuated.
