Definitions
- Tool for tensioning and cutting a band loop around an object the ends of which are passed through a lock provided for their connection and one of which is connected to a band supply, the tool being a holder for the lock, an opening in the lock holder for the Passage of the tape ends, a tensioning device for the tape end connected to the tape supply, a holding device for the free tape end, and a cutting device.
- Cable ties which are formed in one piece with a lock arranged at one end of the tape, are often used for tying cable bundles, cable harnesses or the like.
- the free end of the band is inserted into the lock after wrapping around the cable bundle.
- the loop formed in this way is tensioned, the free end of the band is secured in the lock, and the free end of the band protruding from the lock is cut off.
- the wrapping of the tape around the object to be tied, the tensioning and the cutting can be automated with these cable tapes.
- they basically have the disadvantage of an expensive use of materials, because they always have to be selected considerably longer than the scope of the objects to be bound. This loss can only be achieved through deployment a large number of tapes of different lengths can be reduced, but this entails higher manufacturing and storage costs.
- a better utilization of the material can be achieved by using an endless cable band, from which loops are formed, each of which is tensioned, closed and cut off with a separate lock.
- Automatic tensioning and cutting tools for endless belts are not yet known.
- the object of the invention is to create a tensioning and cutting tool for endless cable ties or the like, which is less complex and can be operated without waste.
- the solution according to the invention consists in that the holding device comprises a clamp which presses the free band end on one side against the other band end, which is supported by an abutment of the tool, and the cutting device is arranged on the side of the holding device facing away from the lock holder.
- the clip is expediently formed in the form of a thin sheet, so that the tape can be cut very close to the lock.
- This sheet should be immediately behind the lock holder or even - if it is in the lock holder or forms part of it - immediately behind the lock to ensure the inevitable protrusion of the tape over the lock to the thickness of the lock holder plus terminal sheet or only the thickness of the Limit terminal sheet.
- the blade of the cutting device is arranged in the same guide as the terminal sheet with a small distance or even without a distance.
- a drive can be provided in the drive which is provided for folding the band around the object to be bound, especially in the case of an automatically operated tool Slip clutch may be provided.
- a pneumatic control of the tool is expedient.
- a particularly rapid actuation of the clamp can be achieved in that a pneumatic shutter cylinder available for controlling the clamp is pressurized with compressed air during the band push, while it is held in place by means of a mechanical lock until the clamping position of the band end is reached then triggered and suddenly moved with full force into the clamping position.
- Figures 1 to 3 show a schematic representation of a part of the tool in three different states.
- the principle of the strap and lock assembly, the tool assembly and the binding method follows the state of the art according to DE / PS 12 79 801.
- the cable strap forms a loop 2, the ends 3A and 3B of which are secured in the lock 7 by means of a pin 9 .
- the tool contains a holder for a band supply (not shown) and a guide channel 1 for the band 3, which is aligned in the tool end in a holder 5 for the lock 7 with the band opening provided in the lock opens so that the band end 3A advanced through the guide channel 1 passes through the lock, the object to be bound - in the example shown a cable harness 17 - is folded over and pushed back into the guide channel 1 of the tool through the lock opening.
- the guide channel 1 forms an abutment 4 near its opening-side end on its upper side in the drawing, which is assigned to the end of the band 3B connected to the band supply, on the opposite side a leaf-shaped clamp 11 is provided directly behind the lock holder 5, which, together with the blade 13 of the cutting device, can be displaced transversely to the guide channel 1 in the direction of the arrow 19 in a guide which is formed on the one hand by the plate 6 of the lock holder and on the other hand by a guide edge 8 of the tool body. It is connected to a drive, not shown, which can be formed by a pneumatic switching cylinder when the tool is executed automatically. In the idle state, the clamp 11 is withdrawn from the guide channel 1 against the direction of the arrow 19. In the active position, it can be advanced in the direction of arrow 19 and pressed against the free end of the band 3A (FIGS. 2 and 3).
- the blade 13 of the cutting device projects into the guide channel 1 according to FIG. 1, but leaves sufficient space for the band end 3B which is connected to the band supply and is to be tensioned.
- a drive not shown, it can be moved in the direction of arrow 23 against the abutment 4 in order to cut off the band end 3B to be tensioned (FIG. 3).
- the tool is used in the following way.
- the free end 3A of the band 3 is guided according to arrow 15 through the guide 1 and through the opening of the lock 7 (FIG. 1) to a cable bundle 17 located in front of the tool laid around and inserted again through the lock 7 into the guide 1 until it abuts against the blade 13 forming a stop.
- This can be done by hand with manually operated tools.
- the invention is also applicable to automatic tools in which the band 3 is automatically placed around the cable bundle 17.
- the tape end 3B is then pulled back in the direction of the arrow 21 in order to thereby tension the loop 2 around the cable bundle 17.
- This is possible because the abutting surfaces of the belt are smooth and the abutment 4 is also designed with low friction, for example as a flat metal surface.
- the end face of the clamp 11 can (but does not have to) be designed to be friction-intensive.
- the pin 9 is pressed into the lock 7. By deep drawing, the pin forms a cup-shaped material region into the clamped and tensioned band ends, which extends into the upper bore, and the blade 13 is pressed against the band end 3B according to arrow 23 and the band 3 is thus cut off without waste (FIG. 3).
- the working time can be shortened in that the pneumatic switching cylinder of the clamp 11 is pressurized with compressed air already during the tape advance and is temporarily held in place by means of a mechanical lock until the tape end 3A has reached the clamping position.
- the switching cylinder can fill with compressed air during the tape feed and its switching speed is increased after the mechanical lock is released.
- the clamp 11 and the blade 13 can be designed as a uniform clamping and cutting element which, in addition to the rest position, has two working positions, the first of which is a clamping position and the second a cutting position.
- the clamping position the cutting edge of the blade is pressed against or into the free end of the band at the point at which the clamp 11 acts in the figures, without cutting through it.
- a very short piece of the free tape end as well as the tape end connected to the supply roll are cut off.
- a fixed edge or the like arranged behind the blade is provided as a stop for the free band end. If this edge is arranged very close to the clamping and cutting element, the waste which arises can be kept so low that it is harmless or can easily be collected in the tool.

Abstract
Un outil sert à serrer et à couper une boucle de ruban (2) posée autour d'un objet (17) et dont les extrémités (3A, 3B) passent à travers un fermoir (7) qui sert à les relier. La première extrémité (3B) de la boucle est d'abord pourvue d'une réserve de ruban. L'outil forme un dispositif de retenue (5) du fermoir (7), un orifice (1) ménagé dans le dispositif de retenue du fermoir à travers lequel passent les extrémités (3A, 3B) du ruban, un agencement de serrage de l'extrémité du ruban reliée à la réserve de ruban, un dispositif de retenue de l'extrémité libre du ruban et un agencement de coupe (13). La construction de l'outil est simplifiée et la bande peut être traitée sans laisser des déchets, étant donné que le dispositif de retenue comprend une pince (11) qui presse unilatéralement l'extrémité libre (3A) du ruban contre l'autre extrémité (3B) du ruban, soutenue sur une butée (4), et que l'agencement de coupe (13) est monté du côté de la pince (11) opposé au dispositif (5) de retenue du fermoir.A tool is used to tighten and cut a loop of ribbon (2) placed around an object (17) and whose ends (3A, 3B) pass through a clasp (7) which serves to connect them. The first end (3B) of the loop is first provided with a reserve of ribbon. The tool forms a retaining device (5) of the clasp (7), an orifice (1) provided in the clasp retaining device through which the ends (3A, 3B) of the ribbon pass, a tightening arrangement of the the end of the ribbon connected to the ribbon reserve, a device for retaining the free end of the ribbon and a cutting arrangement (13). The construction of the tool is simplified and the strip can be processed without leaving waste, since the retainer comprises a clamp (11) which unilaterally presses the free end (3A) of the strip against the other end ( 3B) of the ribbon, supported on a stop (4), and that the cutting arrangement (13) is mounted on the side of the clamp (11) opposite the device (5) for retaining the clasp.
