A manual binding tool has a first operating part opposite a handle unit and is capable of shifting positions relative to the tool body. A tightening mechanism pulls a second end in the lengthwise direction of the cable tie band part relative to a head part via operation of the first operating part. A holding mechanism holds the second end in the lengthwise direction of the band part pulled by the tightening mechanism to prevent a return movement. Second operating parts are provided to shift positions relative to the tool body. A fastening mechanism secures the second end of the band part in response to the operation of the second operating parts. Third operating parts are provided to shift positions relative to the tool body. A cutting mechanism cuts the second end of the band part in the lengthwise direction in response to the operation of the third operating parts.

A manual binding tool including a mechanism for applying plastic deformation to a tie portion located in a head portion to forcibly cause tie portions to engage with each other. A manual binding tool has a tie holding portion that receives and supports a head portion, a tightening mechanism that pulls a projection tie portion that projects through the head portion, a return preventing mechanism that blocks a return movement of the projection tie portion with respect to the head portion that is supported by the tie holding portion, and a pushing mechanism that, in a state where the head portion is supported by the tie holding portion, pushes and deforms a passed tie portion located in the head portion, and that causes the deformed portion to be engaged into an engagement hole of a root tie portion on which the head portion is previously surroundingly held.

The current invention relates to a method and a device for tensioning bands. In particular, as soon as a predetermined tension level has been reached, the tensioning motor and tensioning means of the device are automatically actuated in a reverse direction.

Tab strip segments, pluralities of interconnected tabs, fastening devices that utilize the same, and methods of forming the same. The tab strip segments include a plurality of interconnected central tabs, an interconnected leading tab, an interconnected trailing tab, and a plurality of tab attachment structures. The interconnected leading tab defines a first portion of a strip interlock structure. The interconnected trailing tab defines a second portion of the strip interlock structure. The first portion of the strip interlock structure and the second portion of the strip interlock structure of separate tab strip segments are configured to overlap and interlock with one another to define a tab strip. The methods include providing a plurality of tab strip segments and interlocking the plurality of tab strip segments, via corresponding first and second portions of the strip interlock structure to form the plurality of interconnected tabs.

The disclosure relates to a bundling tool for waste-free bundling of a bundling good via an endless strap. The tool includes a jaw unit, a lock feeding unit, a pushing and pulling unit, a sensor unit, and a cutting unit. The tool further includes a control unit, which is arranged in a normal operating mode, for a first path portion of the path for the pushing and pulling unit during pushing, to preset a greater advance speed of the end section than for a second path portion following the first path portion wherein the second path portion comprises the part of the path extending back into the lock element in order to provide an improved bundling tool for waste-free bundling of a bundling good, in particular a more reliable, faster and easier-to-operate bundling tool.

A tool for tensioning, cutting and/or punching a band of a band-type clamp, a band and buckle attachment, and a band punch attachment are provided. The tool includes a nose piece to receive a tail of the band and a lever pivotably secured to the nose piece. The band and buckle attachment includes a main body having a band guide slot and a blade guide intersecting the band guide slot. A blade is movably positioned in the blade guide. A blade biasing element is positioned between the blade and the main body. The band punch attachment includes a main body having a band guide slot and a punch mechanism rotatably mounted on the main body. The punch mechanism includes a punch guide having a passageway and a punch tool movably positioned in the punch guide. A spring is positioned in the passageway urging the punch tool in a predetermined direction.
