The reusable cable tie is a self-attaching strapping apparatus. The reusable cable tie is used to truss filamentary materials together. When in use, the reusable cable tie form a loop through which the filamentary materials are inserted before the reusable cable tie is tightened to form the truss. The reusable cable attaches to itself to form a loop. The diameter of the loop is adjustable. The filamentary materials are inserted through the loop. The truss is then formed by adjusting the reusable cable tie to reduce the diameter of the loop such that the reusable cable tie applies a force against the filamentary materials. At this point, the truss is formed. The reusable cable tie a base structure, a plurality of slots, and a plurality of pegs. The plurality of slots are formed within the base structure. The plurality of pegs are attached to the base structure.

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.

An elastomer lined self-locking tie includes an elongated strap, at least one cavity or recess in the the elongated strap, an elastomer segment, and a locking head. The elongated strap includes a head end positioned opposite a tapered end. The tapered end includes a first surface positioned opposite a second surface. The cavity is positioned in either the first surface or the second surface. The elastomer segment is positioned within the cavity and extends beyond either the first surface or the second surface. The locking head extends from the head end of the elongated strap and includes an orifice shaped to receive the tapered end of the elongated strap and the elastomer segment.

A tie strap comprising a first end having a plurality of first apertures adapted to receive a medial region and to couple with a plurality of ribs defined thereon, a hooked or knobbed catch mechanism protruding from a distal portion of the first end, and a plurality of second apertures situated along the medial region adapted to receive the catch mechanism. The second apertures may be further adapted to receive the medial region and to couple with the ribs defined thereon.

A reinforced cable tie generally includes an elongate strap having a first end, a second end and an elongate planar strap body therebetween, a head having an upstanding central wall separating a first and a second elongate parallel passageway through the head for respective receipt of the first and second ends of said strap, a locking device supported in the head for retaining the first and second ends of the strap and a continuous reinforcement disposed in and extending substantially continuously along a path defining the strap. In a method for forming a cable tie, a continuous reinforcing strand is co-extruded within an elongate strap and a head is assembled to 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.

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 male connector having two (or more) tines or prongs extending from a joined surface or head is inserted into a female connector. This is accomplished by way of pushing the two tines into an entry portal of the female connector which, as the tines are pushed into the female connector, guides the tines away from each other and perpendicular to their direction of entry. The tines may have repeated triangular apexes on the surface, similar to a cable tie, while the female connector has oppositely-disposed triangular surfaces such that when the tines are pushed into the female member, they are irreversibly or substantially irreversibly held into the female connector.

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.

Cable binder for vehicles, cable-binding assembly comprising the binder, and vehicle lamp with the assembly. The binder comprises a body for attachment to a vehicle component, and a strip for binding cables. The strip can be closed into a loop for binding the cables using a securing mechanism. The body comprises a mounting protrusion for insertion into an opening in a wall of the component. The mounting protrusion comprises a poka-yoke element for engaging with a complementary poka-yoke element in the opening. The mounting protrusion is tapered to facilitate insertion into the opening, and its tapered section is ended by a back surface for bracing against the wall after the insertion is done. The mounting protrusion further comprises a slit dividing the mounting protrusion into at least two parts.
