Tying arrangement comprising a strip, which is serrated at least on one side, and a lock, which is intended for receiving two ends of a portion of the strip and contains at least one blocking device, which is serrated in such a way as to match the serration of the strip. In order to preserve the tips of the teeth, the teeth tips of the teeth provided on the blocking device and the teeth bases of the strip are rounded off or beveled at least on their sides lying against one another in the tightened state. Such an arrangement is used in tying methods in which the free strip end is led back into the lock after wrapping around the item to be tied.

Array and method for tying cable trees and the like and method for the production of strips

A magazine strip of tie ratchets () which are provided for holding the ends of ties for binding elongated articles such as cable harnesses and are connected to one another by webs (), the width of which is not greater than half the ratchet width and which are arranged adjacent to the tie entry side () of the ratchets (). The webs have a length of not more than 1.3 mm and/or one sixth of the ratchet dimension in the direction of the magazine strip. The width of the essentially parallel wall sections which carry the webs is expediently not greater than three quarters of the entire width of the ratchets. The thickness/width ratio of the webs should be not greater than &#x2155;. The invention also relates to a tool for binding cable harnesses which ensures that the webs are cut exactly in the center.

Cable binding tool

A tool for tying articles, in particular cable harnesses, by means of tapes. The tool comprises a tape advance channel (12), which is bounded on one side by a tool body (2) and on the other side by a step feeder for feeding a magazine strip containing the tapes alongside one another. According to the invention, the step feeder and the tool body (2) are designed to be easily separable from each other. In particular, the step feeder can be folded down from the tool body (2).

Tool for tying cable harnesses

Tool for fastening an article, in particular a cable harness, by means of a band to be closed by a lock (10), which has, at a front surface of its tool body (1), a wraparound clamp (4) formed at least partially of clamp parts (5) movably held at the tool body (1), a lock mount (9), a tensioning device for tensioning the band guided in the wraparound clamp (4) and through the lock (10), and a control device for opening the wraparound clamp (4) and tensioning the band, in which the control device is designed in such a way that, before the completion of the tensioning of the band, the wraparound clamp (4) is opened and is retracted through a substantial part of its forward overhang. Furthermore, in the case of an arrangement for fastening an article, in particular a cable harness (12), with the enclosing of a securing lug (7) by means of a flexible band, there is provided a tool which forms a wraparound guide, formed at least partially of clamp parts (5) movably held at the tool body (1), for guiding the band around the article (12), in which the free ends (49) of the clamp parts (5) adjoin the securing lug (7) in their closed condition and the latter forms a part of the wraparound guide.

Tool and arrangement for fastening an article by means of a band

Tool for tying an article, in particular a cable harness, by means of a tape (7), which tool comprises a tool body (1), a carriage (12) that can move forwards and backwards thereon along a carriage guide (13, 14), and a closed pulling means (15, 16, 17, 18), which can be driven in only one direction, for the carriage drive, the forward and backward runs (15, 16) of the said pulling means (15, 16, 17, 18) being parallel and adjacent to the carriage guide (13, 14), and having a driver dog (19) for the carriage (12). According to the invention, in the region of each of the two runs (15, 16) there is provided a coupling stop, on the carriage, each of which is assigned to a run and cooperates with the driver dog. Expediently, the coupling stops (22, 34, 35), on the carriage (12) and assigned to the two runs, are connected by a guide track (20, 21, 23) accommodating the driver dog (19) on its deflection path (17, 18) from one run (15, 16) to the other.

Cable-tying tool

An arrangement for tying an article, in particular a cable harness, comprises a tough elastic tape with a closure (12) arranged at the end of an elongated tape tongue and a tying tool. Arranged at the front of the tool body (1) are wrapping tongs (2, 3) that can be opened and closed and through which the tape can be guided around the article to be tied. Located in the tool body is a tape guide channel (10) opening inside the wrapping tongs and having an advancing member for advancing the tape with the tape tongue forward, the channel being adjoined in the wrapping tongs by a tape guide groove (20, 21). Arranged at the mouth of the tape guide channel (10) is a closure holder for holding the closure (12) and a spring rocker (15) for pressing the tape tongue being advanced on to a surface (11) of the tape guide channel (10). According to the invention, the spring rocker (15) has a front face (24) that participates in forming the closure holder (11, 18, 24).

Arrangement for tying an article, in particular a cable harness

A tool for tensioning a band and for actuating a band fastening and/or for cutting off the band at the end of the tensioning operation has a pressure-medium operated tensioning drive, a pressure-medium operated actuating drive and a valve arrangement which, when a predetermined pressure is attained at the tensioning drive, liberates the supply of pressure medium to the actuating drive. An accurately reproducible band tension is achieved by virtue of the fact that the valve arrangement comprises a reducing valve, which is connected to the tensioning drive by a pressure-medium supply line and can be set to the reducing pressure corresponding to the desired band tension. The pressure-medium supply line contains a restrictor. The valve arrangement comprises a pressure-medium actuated reversing valve, which is connected to the actuating drive and which is pressurized, with the aim of liberating the pressure-medium supply to the actuating drive, by the pressure obtaining at the tensioning drive as well as by a spring. With the opposite aim, it is pressurized by the pressure present in front of the restrictor in the pressure-medium supply line.

Cable harness laying device

System for arranging and binding an elongated object, especially a cable

Tool for binding an object, especially a cable harness, by means of a strip which consists of a strip tongue and a lock which is firmly connected thereto and has a strip opening for retaining and fixing the free end of the strip tongue and at least one laterally projecting region in the bound state. In order to guide the strip tongue around the object which is to be bound, the tool comprises a loop guide which has at least one moving part for opening and closing. Provided for holding the lock during the binding process is a lock holder which is at least partially formed by a part which catches in front of the laterally projecting region of the lock. In order that this does not impede extraction of the lock from the lock holder, it is removable. In order to avoid a special bearing, drive device and controller, according to the invention, this part is connected to the moving part of the loop guide.

Tool for binding an object, especially a cable harness

Tool for binding an object by means of a strip, which has a strip tongue and a strip lock with a strip opening which receives the free end of the strip tongue. The tool comprises a lock holder and a loop guide, which originates from the lock holder, returns thereto and can be opened and closed, for guiding the strip around the object to be bound. Furthermore, the tool comprises a slide for feeding the strip into a position in which the strip tongue is located in the loop guide, and the lock is located in the lock holder. According to the invention, the lock holder is at least partially formed by the slide. In consequence, other holding parts having associated drive and control means are superfluous for fixed enclosure of the lock in the holder. The part of the lock holder which is arranged on the slide may have a guide for the free strip end which enters into the lock holder region from the loop guide. In consequence, it is possible to arrange the lock holder directly on the circular circumference which is available for retaining the object to be bound.
