Abstract: A tie mounting system for securing elongate items to a supporting structure includes a flexible tie and a mount for anchoring the tie to the supporting structure adjacent a mounting stud. The mount is secured to the stud with a nut and washer and provides an anchoring loop through which the tie can be looped to secure the tie and the items to the mount. The mount extends up and away from the supporting structure to provide clearance for the tie. The trailing end of the mount is rounded and the upper surface of the mount is shaped to conform to the rounded shape of a second, similar mount. This enables two or more of the mounts to be stacked atop one another over the stud. A tab within the mount engages the stud to lightly secure the mount to the stud until the nut and washer can be installed. By using one or more ties having a buckle mount formed adjacent its locking head, two or more ties can be chained together to permit the mounting of two or more separate bundles with a single mount.
Abstract: A label dispenser for dispensing labels stored on a backing tape includes a main housing and a top cover that are connected at one end by a first hinge and an access door connected to the main housing by a second hinge. The top cover, main housing and access door form an enclosure having a storage compartment, a dispensing slot, a tape discharge slot and a writing window. A roll of labels stored on a backing tape is contained within the compartment and is threaded through the window and the tape discharge slot so that the labels are dispensed through the dispensing slot when the backing tape is pulled through the tape discharge slot. Information can be written on the labels as they pass through the writing window. Preferably, the top cover, the main housing and the access door are all formed as a single, unitary structure in a single injection molding operation.
