A cable tie may include a desired length of belt, and a buckle connected to a proximal end portion of the belt. The buckle has a belt insertion hole and a slot continuous with the belt insertion hole. The belt insertion hole is configured such that the belt is longitudinally introduced thereinto. The slot is configured such that the belt is laterally introduced into the belt insertion hole therethrough. The slot includes an inlet opening that is gradually widened outward.

The present invention relates to one-piece fasteners having a strap and a locking head utilized to secure elongate objects such as cables in a bundle, and in particular, to hybrid fasteners having both raised detents and locking teeth as part of the fastener strap.

A cable tie used to neatly arrange cables, includes: a fastening part having a locking protrusion formed along the longitudinal direction of one side surface; and a head part which is integrally formed at an end of the fastening part, has an insertion hole which penetrates the center of the front surface and through which the free end of the fastening part passes, and has a locking protrusion formed in a lower portion of the inside of the insertion hole so that the locking protrusion of the fastening part is fixed thereto. A screw fastening portion is formed in the fastening part.

A loop forming fastener including a ratchet and locking features that can be utilized to provide for a desired loop size. The loop forming fastener may include an elongate body portion having a first end and an opposite tail portion, with a head connected to the elongate body, the head defining an opening configured to receive the elongate body to form a loop. A ratchet may allow movement of the body through the opening in a first direction, but prevents movement in a second direction. The elongate body may include a stopper to maintain at least a minimum loop size. The head may include a locking mechanism to lock the elongate body, and thereby establish a desired size of the loop.

Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to removable cable ties for bundling of cables or the fastening of objects. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the removable cable tie generally includes an elongate web, a first tooth and a second tooth projecting bilaterally from the web, and a retaining portion positioned at a first end of the web comprising a first leg and a second leg spaced apart to form a c-shaped pocket. The pocket is configured to receive the web and allow sliding movement of the web in a first direction, while preventing the sliding movement of the web in a second direction opposite the first direction. In some configurations, the cable tie may be disassembled and reused by twisting the web within the pocket to release the web.

A cable tie has a band and having a tensioning device which is integrated in the band and which divides the band into a first and a second region, each of which regions has a toothed portion. A cable channel, or a component, to which an object, such as for example a cable harness, is to be fastened can remain in the fitting position because both ends of the cable tie can be plugged into cable locks from one side. No tools are required for the fitting of the cable tie.

Techniques and apparatuses directed to improved pawl-latching devices are described in this document. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses provide pawl-latching devices with pawls structured to avoid the sinking and warping problems present in some conventional injection molding processes. In aspects, the pawl-latching devices include a pawl having at least one of a pivot member including a notch, a release feature on the pawl spaced apart from the front and sides of the pawl, a recess defined in the top of the pawl, and/or a recess defined in the bottom of the pawl.

A cinching device includes: a buckle including a frame defining an opening; an elongate flexible strap coupled to one portion of the frame and extending away from the frame to a freestanding distal tongue receivable by the opening of the frame, the strap including a first face carrying a plurality of loop-engageable discrete fastening elements and an opposing second face carrying a loop material; and a tab coupled to another portion of the frame, the tab including an exposed touch fastening face engageable with at least one of: the plurality of fastening elements of the first face of the strap or the loop material of the second face of the strap.

A tie-wrap assembly having a locking head, an elongated strap body spaced apart from the locking head, and a coupling member, wherein the coupling member is connected to and disposed between the locking head and the elongated strap body, and wherein the coupling member is fabricated from an elastomeric material.

Disclosed is a cable tie including a tie band which is formed in a shape of a strap to bind cables, and is provided with a plurality of serrated grooves continuously formed on a one surface thereof in a longitudinal direction, and a tie holder which is connected to one end of the tie band and includes a tie band passage, through which the other end of the tie band passes, and a serrated locking protrusion formed on an inner surface of the tie band passage and interference-latched to the serrated grooves. The tie band is provided with a cut guide groove formed on one or both widthwise edges thereof, so that a free end of the tie band remaining when the tie band binds the cables together is cut off by a rotating force generated when the free end is twisted, without using a cutting tool.
