This document describes an integrated release feature for pawl-latching devices. In particular, the integrated release feature is integrally connected to a pawl that is connected to a locking head of the pawl-latching device. The locking head defines a slot that extends through the locking head and includes a first channel conjoined with a second channel. The pawl is disposed within the second channel and positioned internally to the locking head. The pawl has multiple pawl teeth to engage serrations on an elongate strap when the elongate strap is disposed within the first channel. The integrated release feature includes at least one wall shaped to define multiple sides of an open cavity in a midsection of the pawl for receiving a release tool, and the wall has opposing ends that both face the first channel and have one or more additional pawl teeth.

A cable tie having a locking head, a strap, and a truss projecting from the plane of the strap separated from the head by a slot. The strap may be passed over the truss, fed through the slot, and rested upon the truss to form a loop having a cavity therein. The strap may be subsequently passed around an object and fed into the head to lock the cable tie. A cutting implement may be inserted into the cavity to cut the loop and thereby release the cable tie from the object.

A securement member for an electrical conductor includes a main body with a body axis and a stepped surface. The stepped surface is perpendicular to the body axis. The stepped surface also extends along a perimeter of the main body. The main body also has a first aperture and a second aperture. Both the first aperture and the second aperture extend through the main body. The electrical conductor further includes a strap integrally formed with the main body. The strap extends away from the main body and has a width less than a width of the first aperture and the second aperture. The strap is selectively receivable within the first aperture and the second aperture in order to secure electrical conductors to the main body.

The disclosure relates to a method for injection-molding a device, in particular a cable tie, with an integrated wireless tag, comprising the method steps of a) putting a tagging foil with two main surfaces which are separated by an edge, into a mold cavity of an open mold, where the tagging foil is held in place by a supporting device; b) closing the mold; c) injecting an injection material into the mold cavity parts adjoining the two main surfaces of the tagging foil simultaneously and symmetrically with respect to a main extension plane of the tagging foil which is parallel to the two main surfaces of the tagging foil so as to simplify and speed up the manufacturing process of a device with an integrated wireless tag or label. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding molding device as well as a corresponding device with an integrated wireless tag.

A combined RFID tag and label device for attaching an elongate object such as a cable, cable bundle, or pipe. The device comprises a plastic flag having a display surface to carry a visible identification code or label for the device and includes an encapsulated RFID tag configured to provide remote-readable RFID data to an RFID reader. The device includes a device tie and a tie mount which are configured such that, after fastening, the flag has a central longitudinal axis which lies above, and is aligned parallel to, a longitudinal axis of the elongate object where the device is fastened.

An evacuation system may comprise an evacuation slide configured to be deployed from an aircraft, first strap coupled to the evacuation slide, a second strap coupled to the evacuation slide, and a releasable restraint extending through the first strap and the second strap, the releasable restraint comprising a first stem connected to a first bead and a second stem connected to a second bead, where a diameter of the second stem is different from a diameter of the first stem.

A reinforced cable tie generally includes an elongate strap, a head attached to a first end of the strap and a continuous fiber reinforcement disposed in and extending substantially continuously along a path defining at least one of the strap and the head. The head has one or more apertures formed therein and a locking device disposed in the aperture of the head. The locking device is configured to permit a second end of the strap opposite the head to be inserted through the head aperture in a first direction and is further configured to prevent movement of the second end of the strap from the head aperture in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A protective sleeve for use with common cable ties. Preferred embodiments would be formed from silicone rubber to provide flexibility and grip around the cable tie and for thermal protection of the tie as well as cushioned protection of objects secured by the tie. The protective device adds grip to the cable tie as it secures an object, along with aesthetic enhancements through color options and a more finished look. In addition to protecting the cable tie from temperature, it is also protected from UV light, fungus, staining, and corrosion from exterior elements.

Provided herein are an article and method for securing a fluid container. The article includes a tamper evident cap, comprising a head section including an inner surface, an outer surface, and a tab; and a tail section including tapered members extending therefrom. The inner surface is arranged and disposed to receive a valve or opening therein and the tail section is arranged and disposed to engage the tab. The method includes providing a tamper evident cap comprising a head section including an inner surface, an outer surface, and a tab, and a tail section including tapered members extending therefrom; positioning the inner surface of the head section over a valve or opening of the fluid container; passing the tail section through or around a portion of the fluid container; and inserting the tail section into an opening in the tab.

A binding member includes a belt portion and a buckle portion. The buckle portion has a pillar-like shape that extends upward relative to a lower surface of the buckle portion, and has a belt insertion portion. The belt portion extends diagonally downward from a first side, in a left-right direction, of the buckle portion in the first side direction relative to the lower surface. The belt insertion portion penetrates through the buckle portion diagonally upward from a second side opposite to the first side, in the left-right direction, of the buckle portion toward the first side relative to the lower surface.
