Abstract: An automatic cable tie installation tool for assembling a cable tie about a bundle of wires or the like comprises a tool member, a dispenser member spaced from the tool member adapted to receive a cartridge containing a plurality of cable ties therein, and a conveyer member interconnecting the tool member and dispenser member. The dispenser member includes release means for releasing restraining means on the cartridge to permit egress of the cable ties contained in the cartridge, and transfer means for transmitting the cable ties into the conveyer member where the cable ties are transmitted to the tool member. The tool member comprises receiving means for receiving a cable tie from the dispenser, positioning means for positioning the cable tie in a closed loop about the bundle of wires, tensioning means for tensioning the cable tie about the bundle of wires, and severing means for cutting the tail of the cable tie once it has been tensioned about the bundle of wires.
