Abstract
An assembly device for binding bunched cables with a plastic fastener having a serrated tension band and a separate locking clasp including a housing for holding a wound roll of the tension band, an exit opening in one end of said housing through which the tension band can be fed, a first guide channel in the housing having an entrance end and an exit end and positioned for feeding the tension band from its roll to the exit opening and a second guide channel located in the housing above the first guide channel for feeding an endless chain of the locking clasps interconnected together by frangible webs to position the locking clasps one at a time in the exit opening so that the tension band can be passed out through the opening in the clasp. A cutting blade is mounted in the housing between a locking clasp positioned in the exit opening and the exit end of the first guide channel, the channel being pivotally mounted in the housing adjacent its entrance end so that the channel can be pressed down from the feeding position to bring the tension band down into engagement with the blade to serve the band after it has been firmly wrapped around a bunch of cables and engaged with the locking clasp and a spring for returning the first guide channel to the feeding position.
