Non-gravitational infusion set

Claim 1

An assembly for exerting pressure upon a compressible fluid container, comprising: a. a pair of curved resilient plates having respective inner and outer planar edges extending transversely of the curvature thereof; b. hinge means for hingedly mounting said inner edges of the plates to one another in substantial parallelism for pivotal movement of the plates into facing relation with the convex surfaces of the plates facing one another; c. clasp means mounted along said outer edges of the plates for securing said edges to one another and thereby holding the plates in close proximity to one another with the convex surfaces thereof adapted to apply pressure to a compressible fluid container positioned between said plates; d. restraining means for limiting movement of the compressible fluid container transversely of said first and second plate edges to facilitate compression of the container and dispensing of the fluid theRefrom by said assembly; e. said restraining means comprises a hollow sleeve secured to said sheath in the region of said hinge and along the concave side of said plates for receiving a compressible fluid bag to prevent movement of said bag when said plate halves are being moved to the operating position.
