An apparatus according to the present invention provides a bundle tie including a head dampener. The tie generally comprises a strap and a tie head coupled to the strap. The tie head is adapted to engage a free end of the strap, thereby forming a loop, which may be formed or placed about one or a bundle of elongate articles such as conduit, wires, cables, ropes, and pipes, for example. The tie head is provided with a head dampener which serves to cushion what otherwise may be damaging force placed upon the one or more elongate articles by the tie head. The dampener may also serve to limit movement of the one or more elongate articles through the loop formed by the tie.

A cable tie having a desired length of flexible belt and a buckle connected to one longitudinal end of the belt may include rack teeth that are formed in one surface of the belt and are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the belt, an engagement strip that is positioned in a through hole of the buckle and is configured to be deformed about its proximal end connected to an inner wall of the buckle, and an engagement claw that is formed in the engagement strip. The engagement strip is configured to be deformed due to contact with the belt inserted into the through hole of the buckle, so that a crossing angle is formed between the engagement surface of the engagement claw and the tooth surface of one of the rack teeth in a fastened condition in which the belt is inserted into the through hole of the buckle and is tightened.

A recyclable cable tie has a single-aperture buckle, at least one multi-aperture buckle and a belt. The top of the single-aperture buckle is connected to the bottom of the most proximal multi-aperture buckle via the connecting tape. Each one of the at least one multi-aperture buckle has at least two up-down symmetrically arranged engaging cases. Each engaging case has an engaging pawl and an opening. Multiple unidirectional ratchets are formed on the top of the engaging pawl and extend up into the opening of the multi-aperture buckle. The belt is connected to the bottom of the single-aperture buckle. The belt may first engage with the single-aperture buckle, and the extra tail of the belt may be cut off. The extra tail that is cut off may be further used to engage with the multi-aperture buckles continuously so as to be recyclable.

A fixing device includes a fixing member and two fixing belts. The fixing member includes a plate, two fixing portions extending from opposite sides of the plate, and a locking portion located between the two fixing portions. The locking portion includes a locking belt extending from the plate and a connecting portion extending from the plate. The locking belt is locked to the connecting portion to form a locking loop. The two fixing belts are fixed to the two fixing portions.

A multi-surface cable tie apparatus includes a first cable tie device coupled to a spaced apart second cable tie device via a bridge member, each cable tie device having a head member having opposed inner and outer ends, the head member defining an aperture and a channel defining a generally V-shaped configuration in communication with the aperture. Each cable tie device includes a tying strap that includes a planar base strip having that includes a proximal end adjacent the inner end of the head member and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the base strip having an elongate toothed portion mounted to an inside surface. The toothed portion includes a generally triangular cross-section with a plurality of teeth extending away from the base strip. The aperture is configured to selectively receive the base strip and the channel is configured to receive the toothed portion of the tying strap.

A cable tie assembly including a fastener that includes base member. A retention leg extends from the base member for being received by and secured to a bore defined by the support structure. The fastener further includes a first hook that extends from the base member. The cable tie assembly also includes a lock housing that defines a channel that receives the base member of the fastener. The lock housing also includes a strap for being wrapped about the article. The lock housing further includes a second hook for engaging the first hook of the fastener when the lock housing is received by the channel to prevent movement of the fastener relative to the lock housing. The lock housing further includes a cross-member disposed below the second hook for preventing downward movement of the first hook while the first hook is positioned in engagement with the second hook.

A bundle spacing device having a first pair of opposing surfaces spaced apart from each other a first distance and a second pair of opposing surfaces spaced apart from each other a second distance, different than the first distance, and generally perpendicular to the first pair of opposing surfaces. The bundle spacing device is configured such that bundles can be coupled to the bundle spacing device in a first position or a second position. The bundle spacing device can also have a first passage extending along a first axis, a second passage extending along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, and a third passage extending along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.

A clip may include an engagement leg and may be configured to be attached to an object member in a condition in which the engagement leg is fitted into an elliptical attaching hole formed in the object member. The engagement leg may include a pillar configured to be inserted into the attaching hole from its distal end to its proximal end, and engagement strips configured to engage a periphery of the attaching hole when the engagement leg is inserted into the attaching hole. The pillar may include upright opposite surfaces respectively formed in a portion adjacent to the proximal end of the pillar, inclined opposite surfaces respectively formed in a portion adjacent to the distal end of the pillar, and relief surfaces respectively formed in areas partially overlapping at least the inclined opposite surfaces and inclined about an axis of the pillar.

A cable tie with means to form a loop in order to mount cables against a panel or a marking badge. The cable tie has an integrated panel anchor having an elongated body or can be folded into an elongated body. The cable tie is intended to be mounted in a panel that has an opening with a long and narrow shape that could be combination with a circular hole. The mounting starts with a bending around the panel anchor which is then mounted into the opening. Then the cable tie is rotated typically 90 around the axis normal to the panel. Then by releasing the bending, the band on each side of the panel anchor is fixed in the elongated part of the opening and the panel anchor is fixed towards the back-side of the panel.

A flexible tie comprises a body, bulbs with holes and at least one end piece, arranged such that bulbs can be passed through the holes in other bulbs to form loops in the apparatus. These loops can be used to bundle objects together, add a handle to an existing object or prevent other loops from coming undone. The tie can also be undone and used again. Multiple loops can be formed using the same tie.
