An improved band clamp is provided that employs a punch that forms an indication in the deformed band during locking procedure. Bands are provided with one or more protrusions to provide a band with the ability to expand and thereby indicate to a user that a deformation or change in an associated object has occurred. The protrusions are provided such that a failure point of the device is preferably positioned at the band clamp.

A metal locking tie and support clip for securing a bundle are disclosed. The metal locking tie is positioned within the support clip. The metal locking tie has a tie head and a tie body. The tie head includes a locking ball and a bottom with an opening. The tie body includes a first end and a second end with cut-off edges. The support clip supports the bottom of the tie head and encapsulates the cut-off edges of the second end of the tie body.

This invention relates to a a hose clamp with sleeve, which includes a clamp and a sleeve as main components combined together. Said clamp made of metal material, wherein said clamp is provided with a band, there is a joint member and a telescopic tightening component set on both ends of said band. Said sleeve covering on the outer surface of said clamp, wherein said sleeve is made of elastic material. The sleeve can be made integral with the band and the telescopic tightening component of the clamp, or the sleeve can be an independent structure. Therefore, the a hose clamp with sleeve has the structural strength of metal and the elastic sleeve can be used for a buffer between the metal clamp and the metal hoses to provide the effect of shock absorption and anti-slip, and the elastic sleeve also can be used for solving the problem of friction, scratch and noise generated by the metal clamp directly contacts with the metal hoses.

A hose clamp includes a band and a worm drive mechanism. The band has a set of slots located between a first and second circumferential end of the band. The worm drive mechanism is connected to the band and causes radial contraction of the band to tighten the band. The worm drive mechanism includes a screw that engages the set of slots for radial contraction of the band. A clamping-pressure-restoring construction is provided in order to maintain a seal between the hose clamp and an underlying hose during use of the hose clamp and when the underlying hose experiences size expansion and contraction due to, for example, temperature fluctuations.

A metal locking cleat secures cable bundles while withstanding impulse forces and short circuit events. The metal locking cleat has a housing, a tie body, and a metal locking head. The housing has a top, a bottom, sides, a front, a back, an upper level, and a lower level. The tie body is positioned in the lower level of the housing and the metal locking head is positioned in the upper level of the housing. The tie body wraps around a cable bundle, through the lower level of the housing for multiple loops, through the upper level of the housing, and through the metal locking head to secure the metal locking cleat.

The present disclosure relates to fastening assemblies for solar power systems including at least a strap, a buckle member, and a locking member.

A buckle and a band for installation onto a workpiece are provided. The buckle includes a tension indicator for indicating when a desired tension on the band has been reached during installation. The tension indicator may be a visual indicator and may include two collapsible wings that are in a first position when untensioned and move to a second position when tensioned.
