Uclamp uses in the Nursery

How can the Uclamp Help in the Nursery

The uClamp and extension pole is a new concept in parent and caregiver comfort, and is a ‘universal’ umbrella attachment for the ‘Pusher’ of any perambulator, from pushchair to wheelchair. A novel and unique clamping device, the uClamp allows a brolly of any size, from a ladies’ fold-away to a golf umbrella, be attached to a pole of most shapes or strut on a pram. Once fitted to a pram, buggy or wheelchair, the unique design allows the umbrella to be folded and stored ready for rain emergencies, or excessive sunshine (UV protection). In most cases, the uClamp and extension pole (with the umbrella attached) can remain fixed on to the pushchair, pram or wheelchair, even when they are folded away, such as into a car, or when getting on to a bus. The uClamp and extension pole are ‘non-obtrusive’ and you will hardly recognise that it is attached, but on those rainy days, you will be glad that you have it. The uClamp and extension pole was designed to provide weather protection on nursery vehicles that are not suitable for the fitting of the uCosy weathershield.

How Does It Work

Each uClamp set comprises two clamps that work independently of each other. Both clamps are held together by spindle and two tightening knobs, one at each end. Each tightening knob controls the ‘clamping’ pressure of the clamp nearest to it. The uClamp will allow two completely different sized/shaped poles (or the frame of your pushchair) to be attached to each other at whatever angle one chooses, around a 360 arc.  The extension pole has ‘two sets’ of uClamps attached to it at either end. The extension pole is attached to the handle-bar section. An umbrella (its size is the choice of the user) is fixed to the uClamp at the other end of the pole. Both uClamps allow 360 degree rotation. Rotate pole with bottom uClamp until vertical position is found, then rotate umbrella with top uClamp for fine positioning. Tighten both uClamps to maintain position. Height adjustments can be made by repositioning either one or both uClamps along the length of the extension pole.
