Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic device for installing self-locking binder straps, said device comprising: two handles assembled so as to allow rotation relative to each other; a moving component carried by one of said handles and gripping the end of the strap in such a way that the relative movement of the handles tightens the strap; a cutter blade carried by one of said handles and operating when the strap is tightened to a predetermined extent.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic method for obtaining directly a moulded finished product provided with nails, e.g. clips for tubes or electric cables. The method comprises successively at a first station an injection phase in a mould defined by a fixed half-mould and a movable half-mould, a transfer phase to a second station of the movable half-mould bearing the moulded clips, a phase in which said clips are provided with nails at said second station and a phase in which the moulded clips, provided with nails are ejected, the cycle of the phases being resumed after the transfer of the movable half-mould to said first station.
