Abstract
A cable tie includes a strap having a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a head secured to the first end of the strap. The head has a first side wall, a second side wall, an end wall and a top wall defining therebetween a strap accepting channel. The top wall extends from the first side wall toward the second side wall and covers only a portion of the channel.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/707,595, filed on Aug. 12, 2005, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention is directed to a cable tie having a locking head at a first end that secures a second end of a strap to form a loop fastener and, more particularly, an in-line cable tie having a releasable locking mechanism that allows removal of the second end of the strap from the locking head without destroying the locking mechanism such that a cable tie can be removed and reused.
-
FIGS. 1-4 illustrate the in-line cable tie disclosed in U.S. D444,054, owned by the Assignee of the present application, which is incorporated herein by reference. However, this in-line cable tie is not releasable or reusable. - U.S. Pat. No. 5,193,250, also owned by the Assignee of the present application, discloses a releasable cable tie. However, this cable tie is not an in-line cable tie and, thus, cannot be easily released by hand by applying upward force to the cable tie.
- It would be desirable to provide a releasable cable tie that may be applied with a hand tool without automatically releasing.
- It would also be desirable to provide a releasable cable tie that acts as a tension-limiting device.
- It would further be desirable to provide a releasable cable tie that is easily releasable by hand by applying upward force to the cable tie.
- It would also be desirable to provide a releasable cable tie having a low profile locking head.

FIGS. 5-23 illustrate releasable in-line cable ties 30, 130. Specifically,FIGS. 5-13 and 20-23 are directed tocable tie 30, andFIGS. 14-19 are directed tocable tie 130.Cable ties cables cable ties - As shown in
FIG. 5 ,cable tie 30 includes ahead 34 and astrap 36.Strap 36 is formed in any desired length necessary to encompass the diameter of the object to be fastened. As best seen inFIG. 10 ,strap 36 includes a plurality ofteeth 38 longitudinally spaced along an inner surface ofstrap 36. - As best seen in
FIG. 6 ,head 34 is formed with first andsecond side walls end wall 44 andtop wall 46 that define therebetween a strap positioning channel 48 (seeFIG. 7 ).Locking wedge 50 is attached toend wall 44 bypivotal hinge 52, andwedge 50 has a plurality ofteeth 54. As shown inFIG. 10 ,teeth 54 engageteeth 38 ofstrap 36 whenstrap 36 is inserted intochannel 48. - As shown in
FIGS. 20-23 ,cable tie 30 can be applied using a standard cable tie tensioning and strap severing application tool, such ashand tool 56.Strap 36 can be used for temporary bundling while a harness or wire bundle is being built, and then cut off at the end for a clean final assembly with no tail protruding fromhead 34, as best seen inFIG. 23 . - As shown in
FIG. 7 ,top wall 46, orpartial bridge 46, extends fromfirst side wall 40 ofhead 34 and covers approximately half ofchannel 48. Thus,strap 36 is supported not only by first andsecond side walls bridge 46. This design allowsstrap 36 to be lifted by hand orhand tool 56, without automatically releasingcable tie 30. As shown inFIGS. 12 and 13 ,cable tie 30 may be released only by twistingstrap 36 in a certain direction. - In operation,
strap 36 is secured withinhead 34 using a hand orhand tool 56, as shown inFIG. 20 .Hand tool 56 then trimsexcess strap 36, leaving the cable tie shown inFIG. 23 . Becausestrap 36 is supported by first andsecond end walls bridge 46,strap 36 may be lifted by hand or byhand tool 56 without releasingcable tie 30. As best seen inFIG. 12 ,cable tie 30 may be released only by twistingstrap 36 in a counterclockwise direction. As shown inFIG. 13 ,second side wall 42 deflects outward, thus allowingstrap 36 toexit channel 48. It is likewise contemplated thatbridge 46 may extend fromsecond side wall 42. In such an arrangement,cable tie 30 would be released by twistingstrap 36 in a clockwise direction. In either orientation,cable tie 30 may be applied withhand tool 56 without automatically releasing. -
FIGS. 14-19 illustrate cable tie 130.Cable tie 130 is similar tocable tie 30 shown inFIGS. 5-13 and 20-23, exceptcable tie 130 lacks a top wall or partial bridge. Thus,cable tie 130 has an open top, as best seen inFIG. 16 .Strap 136 may be released fromhead 134 by lifting upwards using a hand or hand tool, as best seen inFIG. 19 . The upward force (in the direction of the arrow) creates a sideways force component on the first andsecond side walls side walls strap 136 to exitstrap positioning channel 148. In addition to being releasable and reusable,cable tie 130 acts as a tension-limiting device, preventing an object from being bundled tightly with a hand tool. This is an important feature for cable ties used with communication wires, because overtightening can cause loss of transmission performance. - The releasable in-line cable tie may be applied with a hand tool without automatically releasing. Alternatively, the releasable in-line cable tie may act as a tension-limiting device. It should be noted that the above-described illustrated embodiments and preferred embodiments of the invention are not an exhaustive listing of the form such a releasable in-line cable tie in accordance with the invention might take; rather, they serve as exemplary and illustrative of embodiments of the invention as presently understood.
