  • Publication number: 20070138352
    Abstract: A securement member is provided for mounting a cable tie to a mounting panel. The cable tie is an elongate member having a head and a tail extending from the head and having a self-bias to a planar condition. The securement member comprises a rigid elongate body defining an aperture extending therethrough, the aperture being adapted to receive the tail and being dimensioned to frictionally engage the received tail, attaching the tail to the securement member. The frictional force is derived from a widthwise or heightwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition. Force derived from the lengthwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition may supplement the widthwise component in both attaching the tail to the securement member and in mounting the tie on a mounting panel.

  • Patent number: 7185399
    Abstract: In combination, a conventional cable tie and a cable encircling member having a width exceeding the width of the cable tie. The cable encircling member has an opening extending between upper and lower surfaces thereof. The free end of the cable tie tail is inserted from the upper surface of the cable engaging member through the opening and the tail of the cable tie is dressed along the lower surface of the cable engaging member such that the free end of the cable tie extends outwardly of an end of the cable encircling member. Conductors to be ensnared are now laid upon the upper surface of the cable encircling member. The free end of the cable tie tail is now inserted into the head of the cable tie forming the cable encircling member into a spiral coil loosely encircling the conductors. The free end of the cable tie is now pulled beyond the cable tie head until the spiral coil moves into tightly encircling relation with the conductors.
