Mystery Clamp/Hoop?

AJST · September 15th, 2013, 09:12 AM

I am trying to identify the make and name of this clamp. Has anyone seen one of these or know how to work it?

I am pretty sure it is a Tajima Auto Hoop but cant find any photos or information on it.

Looks similar to this from tajima but not quite since it looks like yours uses a toggle switch and the one in the video uses a foot switch. Maybe an earlier version or a knockoff?

Hey DeepWoods, thanks for responding.

The one that I have does not have any identification marks or labels on it. It does have a knob that has the Tajima unprinted on it.

I have seen a number of references to the auto clamp/frame/hoop on Tajima sites, but cant locate a picture. Some of the Auto Hoops are similar to the ICTCS (http://www.hooptechproducts.com/itcs1.html) which does not work work with air.

I think Tajima is selling ICTCS hoops with Tajima's name on it. The ICTCS AIR CLAMP that is listed on their price list may be it, but the window sizes and descriptions do not match. http://www.hooptechproducts.com/Pricing.html and again there is no photo to verify that it is the same.

P and F Pneumatic Hooper. i don't know who sells them or if they are even in business but think they were the only ones who made an air system.

Thanks EMBTHREADS. I found the following website and it does not look like the same one. http://pfequipandsupplies.com Is this the right company?

Thanks for your help.
