PREFORMED AND REUSABLE BUNDLING STRAP
A cable tie structure for bundling cables may include a preformed strap body having a convex inner surface, the preformed strap body comprising a receiver end and a toothed end, the toothed end having a plurality of teeth extending from at least a portion of the inner surface and designed to engage with the receiver end. The locking head may include an L-shaped overhand retainer arm formed of a side wall extending substantially perpendicularly from the strap body; an upper wall extending substantially perpendicularly from the side wall at an end of the side wall distal from the strap body such that the upper wall is substantially parallel to the strap body; and an open side opposite the side wall. A clip arm may extend at an angle from the strap body toward the upper wall. The clip arm may include clip arm teeth and a beveled outer edge.
Fixturing apparatus
A fixturing apparatus that includes a housing defining an interior space and having a trapezoidal cross-section, a first end, and an opposing second end, and is formed to include an aperture extending therethrough from the first end to said second end.
Reusable cable tie
A reusable cable tie comprises an elongated strap, made of semi-rigid plastic material, and a buckle, made of rigid plastic material, for interlocking with the elongated strap. The elongated strap includes a first end a second end, an inner side and an outer side. The inner side incorporates a rack with a multiplicity of teeth, alternating with a multiplicity of grooves. The multiplicity of teeth extends from the first end up to a flat indented zone adjoining the second end that is provided with several teeth and grooves, the several teeth projecting from the outer side in an external zone corresponding to a beginning of the flat indented zone. The buckle incorporates a cavity so shaped and sized as to allow a passage through of the first and the second end of the elongated strap.
Bi-directional buttonhead ties
This document describes techniques and apparatuses, which include improved bi-directional buttonhead ties, techniques for manufacturing bi-directional buttonhead ties, and techniques for using bi-directional buttonhead ties. In aspects, a bi-directional buttonhead tie is configured for securing an elongated member to a support structure and includes a tie strap and a locking head. The tie strap includes a first side and a second side. The locking head includes an outer side opposite a panel side, the tie strap extending from the panel side of the locking head, the locking head further including a first slot extending through the locking head from the outer side to the panel side, the first slot configured to receive a portion of the tie strap therethrough, and a second slot extending through the locking head from the outer side to the panel side, the second slot configured to receive a portion of the tie strap therethrough.
Bracket for mounting wiring on stud
A bracket for mounting wiring on a stud. The bracket includes a stud securement portion configured for attachment to a wall stud. A stationary jaw has a longitudinal axis extending laterally outward from adjacent a rear end of a side wall of the stud securement portion. A clamping jaw has a longitudinal axis extending laterally outward from adjacent the rear end of the side wall. The clamping jaw is at least one of pivotable relative to the stationary jaw and bendable along its longitudinal axis for clamping the wiring between the stationary jaw and the clamping jaw. A locking tie is secured to the clamping jaw adjacent the free longitudinal end of the clamping jaw. The locking tie includes a toothed, elongate member receivable in the locking opening to lock the free longitudinal end of the clamping jaw to the stationary jaw.
Solar Cable Support Bracket
Disclosed are improved support brackets that are configured for the installation and routing of one or more elongated objects relative to a workpiece. A support bracket may include a first hanger portion configured to support an edge of the workpiece and limit the rotation of the support bracket on the edge of the workpiece. A support bracket may include a clip portion configured to fasten over the edge of the workpiece, the clip portion including a first connector configured to engage at least one of a first web face or a second web face of the workpiece. A support bracket may include a cable tie retainer defining an aperture configured to receive a cable tie therethrough, the cable tie retainer configured to receive the cable tie to attach the elongated object to the support bracket. A support bracket may include an object support section configured to support the elongated object.
