Abstract
A cable tie with side notches (1) on either one or both sides of a strap (4) that allows breaking off the unused end after pulling the tie tight eliminating the need for using a tool to trim the ends of the cable tie. The strap is pulled normally when tightening the cable tie around wires, cables, hoses, tubes or other items in a bundle and then pulled sideways agaisnt a mating head (5) to cause the strap to break off leaving no sharp edges.
Description
Side Notched Cable Tie
BACKGROUND
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of cable ties and more particularly to a side-notched cable tie where the unused end can be broken off without tools.
Description of the Problem Solved
Cable ties are used in a tremendous range of applications. In most of these applications their usage is to control the location of wires, cables, hoses, tubes and all other types of routed components of an assembly. Cable ties can even be used to mount components or join components in an assembly. In all these applications, the length of the cable tie is longer than needed. The unused ends that remain after the cable tie has been tightened need to be cut off with some sort of tool such as a diagonal cutter (pair of dikes), wire cutter or even a knife. This can be difficult if the space is small where the cable tie is utilized. It can be difficult to get the tool inside an
assembly to cut off the unused ends of the cable ties. Also, once the unused end of the cable tie is cut off, the cut end can be very sharp; this can lead to abrasion of other cables in the bundle and even to scratches or cuts to a worker.
Several wire ties are known in the art. The most popular is the common wire tie used by many electricians and trade-workers. It has a plastic tail with notches on the top. At one end is a slotted, generally rectangular head with a notch. When the tail is threaded through the notch in the head, a small locking device slides into each notch on the body as the notch is pulled into place. Because of the shape of the notches, the pull direction is one-way. The tail cannot be pulled backwards out of the head. The worker simply wraps the tail around a cable bundle, threads the tail through the head,
and then pulls the tail through the head until the desired tightness is achieved. The tie clicks past notches finally resting at the right notch for the chosen tightness. The tail
(unused end) is then cut off and discarded.
, Some prior art ties contain knife blades in their heads and other devices to allow cutting the tie. It would be
advantageous to have a cable tie that allows easy removal of the unused end without needing any tools, and that could be produced at the same cost as the standard cable tie.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved cable tie with a number of notches on at least one surface of a tie strap so that these extra notches cause the strap to break near the latching head when the strap is threaded through the head in the normal way and then is moved back and forth sideways or twisted.
The tie is normally made as a flat, elongated strap with top and bottom surfaces, two sides, and two ends, where the strap has a number of engaging notches on the top surface and a
mating latching head attached to one end of the strap containing a lock for engaging the top notches when the second end of the strap is threaded through the head. The present invention adds extra notches on one or both sides of the strap or on some other surface to allow the strap to break easily.
The present invention is completely complimentary to wire
ties currently in use. A small side to side motion of the unused strap cleanly breaks the unused end off immediately during cable tie installation without the use of any tools.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention eliminates the need for using a tool to trim the ends off a cable tie by adding at least one simple feature to the side edge or edges of the strap or some other surface of the strap. This strap is normally pulled when tightening the cable tie around wires, cables, hoses, tubes or other items in a bundle. The present invention contains a series of notches along either one or on both sides of the strap
portion of the tie. When the tie is pulled straight, for example, when tightening the tie around a bundle, the tie remains very strong and can be pulled very tight . Once the tie is tight, the unused end can be forced to one side or twisted. This motion can create a pulling stress along one of the outsides of the strap, either the left or right side. This causes the additional notchesof the present invention to act as stress raisers. Stress increases at the inside corner of a notch, and a crack in the material is initiated. The start of a crack increases the stress even more. A complete break of the strap portion follows shortly with little more applied force.
The present invention allows the cable tie user to break
off unused ends of a cable tie immediately when installing the cable tie, without using any tools. The break takes place at the head of the tie with minimal unused strap protruding from the head and without sharp edges . The shape of the strap and notch can be designed to alter the load capacity of the tie, the
breaking force required to break off unused ends, and to insure no sharp edges remain to injure workers.
Figure 1 shows a top view of a cable tie with side notches 1 added to the both side edges of the strap portion 4 of the cable tie. The notches 1 run the length of the strap so that any amount of unused strap desired can be broken off. The notches can also be spaced by design to encourage breaking the unused strap off at predetermined distances from the latching feature 5 of the ■ cable tie. The notches 1 may optionally be added to only one side of the strap to further increase the load rating of the cable tie. The present invention includes embodiments with side notches on one side and also on both sides as well as on other surfaces and at other locations.
Fig. 2 shows a side view of the cable tie shown in Fig. 1 with the top notches 1 added for visual clarification.
Fig. 3 shows a section view as projected from Fig 1 showing the latching feature 5 and locking serrations 2 which are standard on all cable ties.
Fig. 4 shows a larger view of the same orientation as Fig
1. Fig. 4 is shown as a 4 to 1 scale partial view of a part of Fig 1. Fig. 4 shows the notches 1 in more detail. The notches 1 can have sharp internal corners . Such sharp internal corners can create a maximum stress raiser which initiates a crack in the strap 4 with minimal lateral force 6, or minimal twisting force 11 as shown. The designed shape of the notch can be altered to design particular load ratings of the tie and the breaking force required to break off unused ends. The shape of the side notch can also be designed to create a particular ""broken" edge without sharp edges for user safety.
Figs. 5-6 show a view of two cable ties being used. This view shows how the latching feature or head 5 of the cable tie supports the strap when the unused end of the strap is being broken off. This support causes the unused end of the strap to break exactly at the latching feature or head 5. This leaves no extra unused strap 4 protruding from the head 5. The head 5 may
be designed such that the point at which the strap 4 breaks is inside the head thus further protecting users from scratches and
cuts. Fig. 6 shows two possible directions, namely twisting 7 and bending 6 that the unused end may be moved in to initiate a break.
Figure 7 shows an enlarged side view of a cable tie with
side notches .
Figure 8 shows one of many possible notch shapes 8 with a rounded corner 9 that may be used to encourage a break that
decreases or eliminates remaining sharp edges once the unused end of the cable tie has been broken off. This feature can greatly decrease the likelihood of workers injuring themselves on the sharp edges that remain when the unused end of the cable tie has been cut off with dikes.
Fig. 9 shows a broken wire tie with no sharp edges.
Fig. 10 shows a cable tie with the notches 11 added to the bottom or the side opposite the latching notches.
Fig. 11 shows a cable tie with notches 12 added to two
corners of the flange.
Fig. 12 shows a cable tie with notches 13 added to the top surface or on the same side the latching notches are. It should be noted that notches may be added to any side of a tie in order to act as a stress raiser and initiate a crack where a crack is desired to be started.
Several descriptions and illustrations have been presented to better aid in the understanding of the present invention. One skilled in the art will realize that many changes and variations are possible. Each of these changes and variations is within the scope of the present invention.
