Patent number: 10179665Abstract: A portable tool for tying an object, in particular a cable harness, using a strip, comprising a tool element with a cycle controller arranged in the tool element, a clamping device, and a drive for the clamping device. The drive is designed as a dual drive such that the cycle controller and the clamping device each have a dedicated drive, said drives being actuated independently by a controller. By providing a dedicated drive for the clamping device in this manner, interfering influences from the cycle controller are eliminated. Thus, a more precise clamping process can be carried out with high reproducibility, thereby improving the quality of the tying process.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: HELLERMANNTYTON GmbHInventors: Hans-Dieter Thieme, Oliver Dohrmann

Patent number: 6758247Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for binding an object, in particular a cable harness, having a tool, a band (9) and a lock (2), the band (9) being guided, in the form of a loop, through the lock (2), which has a band passage (23) and detents (21) arranged therein and engaging in the band (9), the tool having a clamp and a band guide (7), which opens out into a lock mount (5) on an end side of the tool, and also having a movable covering tongue (6), which temporarily prevents at least one of the detents (21) from engaging in the band (9), the covering tongue (6) being mounted in a pivotable manner. The covering tongue (6) is expediently arranged such that, in a deflected position, it projects into the band passage (23) of the lock (2) in the lock mount (5).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Hellermann Tyton GmbHInventor: Hans-Dieter Thieme

Patent number: 6640839Abstract: The arrangement for binding objects (6) by means of a band (5), the ends of which are retained by a lock (4), having a magazine for a chain (11) of interconnected locks (12), a tool (1) with a guide channel (14) for the chain (11) of locks (12), a conveying connection (10) from the magazine to the guide channel (14), a tool drive (29) and a conveying drive. The conveying drive provided according to the invention is a spring (33) which can be subjected to stressing by an electric tool drive (29). This has the advantage that a high advancement force can be produced even when a relatively low-power drive motor is used.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Hellermann Tyton GmbHInventor: Hans-Dieter Thieme

Publication number: 20020108667Abstract: Tool arrangement for binding an object, in particular a cable harness, by means of a band (8), the ends of which are guided through a lock (6), for which there is provided in the tool a lock mount (2) which is provided with a sensor (15) for establishing the presence of a lock (6). According to the invention, the same sensor is also designed for establishing the presence of a band end (12) in the lock. It expediently interacts with an associated detent (9) rather than directly with the band end (12). It may have different steps (30, 31) for interacting with the detent (9) and the lock (6).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2002Publication date: August 15, 2002Applicant: Hellermann Tyton GmbHInventor: Hans-Dieter Thieme

Patent number: 5934341Abstract: A tool for tying an article, in particular a cable harness, by means of a tape, which tool comprises a tool body (1), a push rod (10) guided therein, which pushes the tape (6) into a wrapping position around the article to be tied, and a drive device for the push rod (10). The drive device for the push rod comprises a carriage (15) that is guided on the tool body (1) and moved forwards and backwards by means of a crank (12, 13), and a pinion (20) that is rotatably mounted on the carriage (15), rolls on a running track (21) arranged parallel to the carriage guide (16, 17) and, on its opposite side, engages directly or by means of a larger gear wheel (19) that is connected in terms of rotation into the push rod (10) which, at least in the region of movement of the carriage (15), is guided parallel to the latter.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1997Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Paul Hellermann GmbHInventor: Hans-Dieter Thieme

Patent number: 5630450Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1996Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Paul Hellermann GmbHInventors: Viktor Kurmis, Hans-Dieter Thieme
