Definitions

  • the tie includes a relatively elongated substantially flat flexible tongue having an open frame integral with one end thereof, the frame and the tongue preferably being formed of a plastic composition material or synthetic resin.
  • the frame has end and side walls defining a substantially rectangular opening to receive the opposite end of the tongue, which latter is inserted through a tongue entry face in the frame and is drawn outwardly through a tongue exit face.
  • a pair of metallic pawls are provided, each having a fixed end mounted in a respective frame Side wall, these pawls having free ends extending inwardly toward each other and converging toward the exit face of the frame.
  • the free ends of the pawls are spaced a substantial distance inwardly of the exit face of the frame. The pawls flex as the cable tie tongue is drawn through the frame, then bite into the side edges of the tongue to prevent retraction of the latter through the frame.
  • the projecting portion of the tongue may be cut off just outwardly of the free ends of the pawls, with the cut end of the cable tie being located completely within the frame.
  • the cable tie shown in the Schwester et al. patent includes an elongated tongue of plastic material, an open frame head at one end of the tongue adapted to receive the other end of the tongue, and a metal pawl mounted in the head and adapted to cooperate therewith to allow drawing of the tongue through the head while preventing retraction of the tongue in the opposite direction.
  • the head of the Schwester et al. bundling strap or cable tie is enlarged relative to the tongue portion in both lateral directions.
  • the head in the tongue drawing direction, is very substantially thicker than the tongue, and the head is formed with a passage extending therethrough having dimensions in excess of the thickness and width of the tongue.
  • the exit side of the head is formed with aligned rectangular slots extending centrally across the aperture ice therethrough to both sides of the aperture. The outer one of these slots provides clearance for insertion of the metal pawl into the inner slot and into the material of the head, with the pawl extending at substantially a 45 angle to the direction of passage of the tongue through the head aperture and extending across the axis of this receiving aperture.
  • the metal pawl flexes to allow such drawing of the tongue tightly about a bundle of conductors.
  • a chisel edge on the pawl bites into a portion of one of the wider surfaces of the tongue and tends to resist retraction of the tongue.
  • the metal pawl of Schwester et al. is very substantially narrower than the tongue of the cable tie, and, in effect, engages or digs into the cable tie only across a pair of relatively closely spaced ribs extending longitudinally of the cable tie.
  • the adjacent surfaces of the rectangular slot in which the metal pawl is mounted are spaced very substantially from the surfaces of the pawl, so that the pawl has a wide range of movement or fiexure before it will engage or rest against either one of the facing surfaces of the mounting slot.
  • the chisel edge which is engageable with the tOngue of the cable tie, is very close to the exit surface of the head, and is almost flush therewith.
  • the cable tie shown by Schwester et al. has a further pronounced disadvanage.
  • the relatively great spacing between the surface of the pawl and the adjacent surface of the rectangular slot in the head, in which the pawl is mounted allows very substantial rearward flexing and bending of the pawl, to an extent that the pawl will disengage the tongue and allow loosening of the cable tie.
  • This is due to the very extended unsupported length of the metal pawl of Schwester et al.
  • a further disadvantage is that all of the holding stress of the cable tie, when wrapped tightly around a bundle of cables or conductors, is concentrated in the relatively narrow or short chisel edge of the single metal pawl of Schwester et al.
  • the Orban. cable tie is a onepiece element of flexible plastic composition material including a tongue and a head, the head being in the form of a rectangular frame defining a substantially rectangular opening for the free end of the tongue to be drawn through the frame.
  • At least a portion of one relatively wider surface of the tongue is formed with a series of serrations extending there across, and the head or frame is formed with an integral pawl having a transversely extending chisel edge which is arranged to engage these serrations when the tongue portion of the cable tie is drawn through the head.
  • This pawl has its outer edge located a definite distance inwardly from the exit surface of the head. Consequently, when the cable tie tongue is drawn through the head thereof, the pawl can engage these serrations to prevent retraction of the tongue or leesening of the cable tie.
  • the projecting portion of the tongue of the cable tie may be cut off in such a manner that the cut edge is disposed inwardly of the exit face of the tongue.
  • the projecting portion of the tongue of the cable tie may be cut off in such a manner that the cut edge is disposed inwardly of the exit face of the tongue.
  • the cable tie shown in the above-mentioned Orban patent application has proven very satisfactory in practice, particularly with respect to the location of the cut end of the tie within the frame and not projecting therefrom.
  • the pawl is made of plastic and is engaged with a plastic tongue, the provision of the serrations is necessary in order to insure a firm gripping action of the plastic pawl on the plastic tongue.
  • the Orban cable tie requires rather intricate molds for its manufacture, and the cost of these molds, as compared to the cost of a relatively simple mold, increases to some extent the cost of the cable tie molded therein.
  • the present invention is directed to a novel, inexpensive and simply applied cable tie or the like which has the advantages of the Orban cable tie but which utilizes metal pawls which will bite into the material of the plastic tongue and eliminate the necessity for forming the tongue with the transversely extending serrations. Additionally, the formation of the head or frame end of the cable tie is greatly simplified with respect to molding operations, thereby reducing the overall cost of the cable tie, relative to that shown in the mentioned Orban patent application, while retaining all of the outstanding advantages of the cable tie shown in the mentioned Orban patent application.
  • a cable tie which includes a relatively elongated substantially flat flexible tongue preferably molded of plastic composition material, the cable tie further including a substantially rectangular open frame integral with one end of the tongue.
  • This frame includes substantially parallel inner and outer end walls interconnected by substantially parallel side walls to define a substantially rectangular opening to receive the opposite end of the tongue after the tie has been wrapped around plural insulated conductors or the like to draw the same into a cable.
  • the frame has a tongue entry face and a tongue exit face, and in accordance with the invention, those surfaces of the side walls facing toward the tongue exit face are spaced a substantial distance inwardly from this exit face.
  • a pair of metallic pawls are provided, each having a fixed end mounted in a respective frame side wall, these pawls having free ends extending inwardly toward each other and converging toward the exit face of the frame.
  • the pawls are so mounted in the side Walls that their free ends are spaced a substantial distance inwardly of the exit face of the frame.
  • the pawls flex as the tongue is drawn through the frame and bite into the side edges of the tongue to prevent the retraction of the latter through the frame.
  • a feature of the invention is that the pawls are so inserted into the respective side walls of the frame that there is a limited clearance between the inner surface of each metal pawl and an adjacent portion of the associated side wall, and a relatively large clearance between the outer surface of each pawl and a surface of the respective side Wall.
  • This facilitates flexing of the pawls as the cable tie tongue is drawn through the frame of the cable tie. Due to the recessing of the exit surfaces of the frame side Walls, the projecting portion of the tongue can be cut off well inwardly of the exit face of the frame, so that the cut edge of the tongue is protected by the spaced parallel end walls of the frame and is inwardly a substantial distance from the exit face of the frame.
  • the two metal pawls have only a very short unsupported length engageable with the side edges of the tongue. This avoids backward bending or flexing of the pawls when a retracting force is imposed upon the tongue of the cable tie. After only a minute backward movement of the cable tie, the pawls engage supporting surfaces of the notches in which they are set, and only a relatively minute length of each metal pawl projects beyond the associated supporting surfaces. Additionally, the total stress on the cable tie is divided equally between the two metal pawls, each of which has a width in excess of the thickness of the tongue of the cable tie.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a cable tie of the genearl type mentioned above but in which, after severing of the extra length of the tongue projecting from the frame or head portion, the cut edge of the tongue not only does not project beyond the exit surface of the frame but is actually disposed inwardly thereof.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a cable tie having the feature just mentioned but having an improved gripping action on the cable tie tongue drawn through the cable tie frame or head.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a cable tie of the type mentioned above in which the tongue gripping action is provided by a pair of flexible metallic pawls each mounted in a respective side Wall of a substantially rectangular frame.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a cable tie of the type mentioned in the preceding paragraph and in which the wider surfaces of the flat flexible tongue can be substantially smooth and does not need to be formed with transversely extending serrations.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a cable tie of the type mentioned in the preceding paragraphs and which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and effective in operation.
  • FIG. l is an enlarged partial plan view of one surface of the cable tie embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the head of the cable tie
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial plan view of the opposite surface of the cable tie
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view, partly in section, of the cable tie as applied to bundle a group of insulated conductors into a cable;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 55 of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view illustrating a modification of the cable tie shown in FIGS. 1 through 5.
  • the cable tie of the invention is a substantially fiat and elongated flexible strip which is molded from a suitable plastic composition or synthetic resin. Solely by way of example, cable tie may be molded from a nylon resin.
  • Cable tie 10 includes a relatively elongated tongue having a rectangular frame or head integral with one end thereof.
  • the opposite end of tongue 15 is gradually reduced in thickness and width as indicated at 16, to form a tapered end portion for a purpose to be described hereinafter.
  • Tongue 15 includes substantially fiat relatively wide surfaces 18, 18 and side edges 17, 17, and one surface 18 may be formed with projections 12 to facilitate gripping of the tongue and drawing the tie around a bundle of conductors.
  • Head 20 is in the form of a substantially rectangular frame which is wider than tongue 15 and which has a tongue entry face 21 which is substantially flush with one surface 18 of tongue 15.
  • the frame or head 20 includes substantially parallel inner and outer end walls 22 and 23, respectively, which are interconnected by substantially parallel side walls 24.
  • Inner end wall 22 is substantially trapezoidal in cross section, with its outer sloping surface 26 merging substantially smoothly with a surface 18 of tongue 15.
  • the substantially coplanar surfaces of end walls 22 and 23, opposite those surfaces of the end walls included in the tongue entry face 21, define tongue exit surfaces or faces 27.
  • end walls 22 and 23 are extended toward each other to have a thickness greater than those portions of end walls 22 and 23 which project beyond the surfaces 28 of side walls 24.
  • Opening 25 opens through the tongue entry face 21 of frame or head 20 and, at its opposite end, opens into a channel 25' defined by the portions of end walls 22 and 23 which extend beyond the faces 28 of side walls 24, the base of channel 25 being partially defined by the surfaces 28 of side walls 24.
  • the projecting portions of end walls 22 and 23 taper in thickness somewhat toward the tongue exit faces 27, 27, so that channel 25 increases somewhat in width toward the exit face or surface of frame 20.
  • each side wall 24 of frame 20 is formed with a recess extending longitudinally thereof, these recesses being generally triangular in cross section, as best seen in FIG. 5.
  • Each recess 30 includes an outer wall. 31 which is substantially parallel to the inner surface of the associated side wall but preferably slopes away therefrom at a relatively small angle such as, solely by way of example, 5.
  • Each recess further includes a sloped inner wall 32 which extends at an angle of the order of 45 with respect to the inner surface of the associated side wall.
  • Each recess 30 has located therein a substantially flat and thin metallic pawl 35 which is forced into or embedded in the associated side wall 24 at an angle such that it diverges slightly from the side wall 32 of the associated recess. Solely by way of example, if side walls 32 extend at an angle of with respect to the inner surface of the associated side wall, the substantially flat pawl 35 associated with the side wall may extend at an angle of substantially 40 relative to the inner surface of the associated side wall 24.
  • Each pawl 35 thus has a free inner end, and these free inner ends converge toward each other in a direction toward the exit faces 27. However, the free ends terminate'a short distance inwardly of the end surfaces of openings 25, the spacing of the free inner ends of pawls 35 being slightly less than the width, between side edges 17, 17, of tongue 15. Also, and by virtue of the aforementioned relative angular relationship, each pawl 35 has a slight clearance with the side wall 32 of the associated recess, allowing flexing of the pawl 35 toward the side wall 32 of the associated recess.
  • tie 10 is used to join several insulated conductors 11 into a cable bundle.
  • tie 10 is wrapped around conductors 11 and the tapered portion 16 of tongue 15 is inserted through passage 25 and into channel 25, the insertion proceeding from the tongue entry face 21 toward the tongue exit faces 27.
  • Tongue 15 is then drawn through head or frame 20 until it is tightly wrapped about conductors 11.
  • pawls 35 upon any attempt to pull tongue 15 backwardly, pawls 35, after only a very slight backward movement, will bear against the surfaces 32 of the recesses 30, and thus will be firmly supported over substantially their entire lengths, there being only a very short length of each pawl 35 projecting into the passage 25. This effectively prevents any backward bending of the ends of pawls 35, as can occur, for example, in the construction shown in the mentioned Schwester et al. US. patent. Furthermore, the retractive stress on tongue 15 of the cable tie is divided equally between the two pawls 35, so that each pawl is stressed to about only one-half the stress value to which a single relatively narrow pawl would be stressed. Consequently, the two pawls of the present invention, engaged with the side edges 17 of tongue 15, effectively prevent retraction of the tongue once the cable tie 10 has been tightened around a bundle of conductors 11, as shown particularly in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the head 20' of the cable tie is formed to receive a marker or indicia for the cable tie.
  • the outer surface of the head 20' is formed with spaced parallel ribs 33 defining a dove-tail groove 34 which may be open at both ends, be closed at one end, or be closed at both ends.
  • Groove 34 receives a conformingly shaped marker or indicia 40, which may carry suitable identifying data for the cable tie.
  • the construction shown in FIG. 6 may result in some thickening of the outer wall 23' of the head 20, to provide the grooves 33, or the wall 23 may have the same overall thickness as the wall 23, and have the groove 34 cut into its outer surface.
