The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (ABT) for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (OPT). In an aspect, an ABT includes: a holding unit configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT which is provided to the ABT from an external reservoir of OPTs; a linear motion guiding unit configured to linearly guide the holding unit in a longitudinal direction while moving between a receiving position where the holding unit receives, during intended use, the respective OPT and a releasing position where the holding unit releases, during intended use, the respective OPT; and a drive unit configured to move the holding unit along the linear motion guiding unit.

The disclosure relates to a reservoir device for feeding one-piece fixing ties, OPTs, to an automatic bundling tool device, ABT, wherein the reservoir device is configured to detachably hold the OPTs on at least one carrier unit of the reservoir device, in a row, with the carrier unit having a base and being configured to be moved to or through the ABT in order to have the OPTs detached from the carrier unit; where the at least one carrier unit is a unit separate from the OPTs; and the at least one carrier unit is configured to have the respective OPT detachably attached to the carrier unit by a respective interface element configured to receive and hold the respective OPT on the carrier unit so as to enable a flexible feeding of different types of one-piece fixing ties to automatic bundling tool devices.

A cable tie tool has a first operating unit, a second operating unit, a pivoting shaft, a torsion spring, a cutting assembly, and an extension spring. The second operating unit has two guiding holes aligned to each other. The pivoting shaft is mounted in the guiding holes, is pivotally connected the first and the second operating units, and is movable along the guiding holes. The torsion spring abuts against and pushes the first and the second operating units. The cutting assembly has an activating element pivotally connected to the second operating unit and a cutting element movably mounted in the second operating unit and driven by the activating element. The extension spring is connected between the activating element and the second operating unit. When the extension spring is stretched, the activating element blocks the pivoting shaft from moving along the guiding holes.

A cable tie application tool is described that includes an electro-mechanical tensioning system. When the electro-mechanical tensioning system is controlled by a processor to tighten a cable, a reactionary force through a drive nut that is pivotally mounted to a tension bar can be monitored and measured by a strain gauge, a load cell, or other sensing system. This reactionary force is an indication of tension on the cable tie and is monitored by the processor until the tension reaches a predetermined tension, at which point, the processor causes a motor in the tensioning system to stop increasing the tension on the cable tie. The processor activates a cut-off system to cut the cable tie that has been tightened to the predetermined tension.

This publication describes automatic bundling tool devices capable of tightening one-piece-ties with increased tolerance with respect to the thickness of the one-piece-tie (OPT) strap. In an aspect, disclosed is a bundling tool device that includes a tightening mechanism with a tightening gear unit with a tightening gear, and with a tightening roller unit with two tightening rollers, forming a gap in between tightening gear and tightening rollers. The gap is configured to hold a strap of a respective OPT processed by the device. The tightening gear includes teeth which are configured to fit into a serration of the strap. The tightening roller unit includes a lever with the two tightening rollers being arranged on the lever in a first end section of the lever, a turning point of the lever being arranged in a middle section of the lever, and an adjustment element of the tightening roller unit.

A tool for securing a clamp having a band and a clip is provided. The tool includes a base member and a first handle coupled to the base member. A cinching handle is rotationally coupled to the base member adjacent the first handle. A crimping handle is rotationally coupled to the base member adjacent the first handle opposite the cinching handle. A holding means is provided for holding the clip. A tensioning means is provided for moving a tab end portion of the band through the clip, the tensioning means being operably coupled to the cinching handle. A crimping means is provided for locking the clip to the band, the crimping means being operably coupled to the crimping handle. A severing means is provided for severing the tab end portion from the band, the severing means being operably coupled to the crimping handle.

An automated tying tool includes slider, guide rail, first guide claw, second guide claw, frame, tensioning wheel, cutter, stepwise material feeding mechanism, and material pushing rod. First and second guide claws are mounted on frame via rotation of central pin. Cutter and tensioning wheel are mounted in frame. Guide rail is adjacent to frame. Slider engages with guide rail. An automated tying method includes: stepwise material feeding mechanism being loaded with ties, and conveying ties at fixed interval in each binding cycle; slider driving ties to slide from predetermined position to binding position; tie body of ties being curled in guide slots in first and second guide claws; causing tail portion of ties to pass through a hole at head portion of ties; tensioning wheel rotating to tighten ties; and cutter cutting tightened ties. A tying tool may include a material feeding, distributing, and pushing mechanism.

A tie plier is disclosed, including: a first support fixedly connected with a first handle; a second support rotatably connected to the first support and fixedly connected with a second handle; a first elastic member for driving the first support and the second support to reset; a feed head fixedly connected to the first support and provided with a feed groove; a fastening component provided on the second support and on a same side as the feed head, and provided with a fastening groove; a cutting groove cylindrically provided on the feed head and communicated with the feed groove; and a cutting bit which is semi-cylindrically provided in the cutting groove and is rotatable in the cutting groove. The first support is provided with a rotating shaft for controlling rotation of the cutting bit and a second elastic member for driving the rotating shaft to reset.

A tension clamp (19) includes a band (20) surrounding an object to be fastened and a buckle (21) arranged on the inner band end portion (22) and surrounding the band (20), with the outer band end portion (23) extending through the buckle (21). A tool for mounting the tension clamp includes a holding device for holding the buckle (21) along with the band (20) surrounding the object to be fastened, a tensioning device for tensioning the band (20) round the object to be fastened by applying tension to the outer band end portion (23), a locking device (50) for locking the buckle (21) on dem band (20), and a severing device for cutting off excessive band length. The locking device (50) has plier jaws (54) adapted to be inserted into lateral windows (25) of the buckle (21) for deforming side edge portions (24) of the other band end portion (23).
