An apparatus, system, and method that relate to a self-locking tie with one or more elastomeric features are disclosed. A strap of the self-locking tie includes one or more features that physically anchor the strap to a base of a mold during a multi-stage molding process. These features may include one or more recesses. Side walls of the one or more recesses may be sloped, as defined by anchors with undercut regions that physically engage material of the strap to prevent movement of the strap within a mold cavity of the base as the strap cools and as the strap is exposed between its formation and formation of one or more elastomeric features thereon.

A cable tie includes a cable tie head; and a strap. The head is configured to receive the strap. A least part of the head comprises a deformable zone configured to deform when the strap is received in the cable tie head to secure the cable tie to an elongate article.

The present invention discloses a cable tie which comprises a locking head, a belt connected to the locking head by one end thereof and a buckle. The locking head comprises a channel for an insertion of the belt and an assembly groove adjacent to the channel. The buckle is pivotally connected to the assembly groove and has an engaging sheet to engage with plural rack teeth of the belt. The engaging sheet of the buckle further has a positioning protrusion extended from an upper end of the engaging sheet for correspondingly attaching to and moving along a first inclined surface at an upper region of a positioning block of the locking head by a bottom edge thereof for engaging with or unfastening a fastening surface of the positioning block.

A cable tie includes a belt, a head connected to the belt and having a passageway for receiving the belt, and a lock disposed in the head. The lock is displaceable parallel to a plane of the passageway along a stroke and has a protrusion configured to lock the belt.

A clip, system and methods for affixing a conduit to a surface includes a flexible strap having an integrally connected shoulder with a passageway configured to receive a fastener to secure the shoulder and clip to a surface of an object such as a stud, the shoulder positioned at a first end portion of the strap, the strap having an opposite free end, and a head integrally connected to the strap at a terminal end of the first end portion, the strap being flexible between the head and the shoulder, the head having a strap-receiving passage configured to receive the strap to form a loop. The clip is connected to the surface and the loop is tightened around the conduit to secure the conduit to the surface.

This disclosure provides an improved tie-strap fastener (the releasable fastener) for releasably securing elongate articles to a panel. The releasable fastener includes a body defining a laterally spaced curved aperture, an elongated strap projecting laterally outward from a lateral side of the body between a top surface and the aperture, and a locking pawl disposed the aperture. The body defines an opening extending internally from a side surface of the body to the aperture to provide access to the locking pawl, which is adapted to releasably engage and retain the elongated strap when inserted into the aperture from the top surface of the body. Methods of installing the releasable fastener on a panel, releasably fastening elongate articles to the panel with the releasable fastener, and related assemblies are also provided.

A disposable, flexible locking restraint having a base and first and second straps integrally molded of a dry flexible plastic is provided. During use, toothed portion of the straps engage toothed portions of associated pawls to provide for unidirectional travel of the straps through the base. For increased security, pawl locks are provided on the base. Each pawl lock has first and second retainers to engage the pawl lock on the base, where the first retainer is spaced from the second retainer along a length of the pawl lock. When the first retainer retains the pawl locks in the base, the pawls have sufficient freedom of movement to allow unidirectional movement of the straps through the base, and when the pawl locks are depressed such that the second retainer retains each pawl lock in its respective lock aperture, the pawl lock engages the pawl and presses the pawl against the strap, preventing further travel of the strap.

Embodiments of the present technology relate to tie apparatus, such as those commonly referred to as zip ties or cable ties. Advantageously, the disclosed technology increases the friction between a tie and the cables or other objects clinched by the tie. This is done by, for example, providing a gripping material on the inside of the strap. The disclosed technology also includes a head for a tie apparatus that can receive and engage a strap with a grip. Embodiments of the present technology also provide configurations for the grip on the strap.

The invention relates to a fastening system having at least one cable tie (13) which has i) a toothed cable tie strip (17) and ii) a cable tie head (16) with a detent device for detent engagement with the toothed cable tie strip (17), and having at least one holding apparatus (1) which is separate from the cable tie (13), wherein the cable tie (13), in the fully assembled state, is positioned relative to the holding apparatus (1) such that the material for binding (39) held by the cable tie (13) is arranged spaced apart from the holding apparatus (1) in order to reduce abrasion of the material for binding (39). The invention likewise relates to a cable tie (13) and to a holding apparatus (1) for a fastening system of said type, and to a corresponding assembly method.

A low profile component tie includes a strap having a top and a bottom. The strap is configured to wrap around a component with the bottom facing the component. The strap has sides between the top and the bottom. The strap has teeth disposed along at least one of the sides. The strap extends between a root end and a distal end. A head is provided at the root end of the strap. The head has a channel configured to receive the strap. The head has at least one pawl provided in the channel. The pawl engages at least one of the teeth along the side of the strap to secure the strap in the head.
