The disclosure relates to a spring clamp, having a clamp band and a positioning device for pre-positioning the spring clamp on a hose end of a hose. The positioning device having a support band and a contact region, and the support band having. The positioner having a fixing means arranged at the end of the support band, and the support band having a retainer at another end of the support band. A web is formed in the support band between the contact region and the positioner. The support band has at least two regions in the region of the positioner, the first region extending from the web away from the clamp band and the second region extending substantially perpendicularly from the first region.

A memory fastening device includes a fastener head that is positioned along the first end of an elongated body having a tapered second end, and a plurality of serrations. The head includes an opening having a shape that is complementary to the shape of the main body. A ratchet mechanism is positioned within the head and functions to engage the serrations to form a closed loop. The main body includes a layered construction having a core layer and an outer layer. The core layer is constructed from a piece of malleable metal having shape memory for maintaining a shape to which the device is manipulated, and the outer layer is constructed from an electrically non-conductive material that encapsulates the metallic memory core.

A strap tie includes a body including a receiving channel and a strap engagement member. The receiving channel extends through the body. The receiving channel is configured to receive a remote strap. The engagement member is configured to engage a movement restriction member of the remote strap to prevent translation of the remote strap away from the body. The strap extends from the body. The strap includes a proximal end attached to the body, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a plurality of movement restriction members. The rotational element of the body is configured to removably couple to a base to allow the strap tie to rotate relative to the base.

The invention to which this application relates to improvements to a retaining band which can be used to securely locate, form and retain a load of items or goods, in one embodiment on a pallet, and thereby retain the said items or goods as a single integral package. The invention allows for the adaptation of the retaining bands to be detectable when with a predetermined range of detection apparatus such as X-ray and/or metal detection apparatus so that should the retaining band or fragments thereof be discarded or dislodged, the presence of the same is detectable and therefore prevented from becoming a potential contaminant or safety hazard.

A cushion sleeve that protects a bundle of cables secured to a support structure by stainless steel strapping. The cushion sleeve includes a top, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The cushion sleeve includes a body and sidewalls extending from the body. The cushion sleeve also includes a barbed tongue extending from the first end or the second end of the cushion sleeve and slots located at the opposite end of the cushion sleeve. When installing the cushion sleeve, the barbed tongue is inserted through one of the slots and pulled until the cushion sleeve is tight around the cable bundle.
