Patent number: 11027902Abstract: This document describes an integrated release feature for pawl-latching devices. In particular, the integrated release feature is integrally connected to a pawl that is connected to a locking head of the pawl-latching device. The locking head defines a slot that extends through the locking head and includes a first channel conjoined with a second channel. The pawl is disposed within the second channel and positioned internally to the locking head. The pawl has multiple pawl teeth to engage serrations on an elongate strap when the elongate strap is disposed within the first channel. The integrated release feature includes at least one wall shaped to define multiple sides of an open cavity in a midsection of the pawl for receiving a release tool, and the wall has opposing ends that both face the first channel and have one or more additional pawl teeth.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: HellermannTyton CorporationInventors: Gerard G. Geiger, Giovanni Lewinski

Publication number: 20190154170Abstract: A method of forming a retaining clip configured to secure an elongate member to a generally planar panel is described herein. The retaining clip includes a first side wall, a second side wall opposite the first side wall, and an end wall interconnecting the side walls. The side walls define a gap configured to receive the panel. The retaining clip includes further includes a resilient first cantilevered prong projecting into the gap from the first side wall and a resilient second cantilevered prong projecting from into the first gap from the second side wall. Free ends of the first and second prongs are characterized as having a pair of pointed barbs on distal edges of the first and second prongs. The pointed barbs are configured to increase a removal force required to remove the panel from the first gap. A method of forming such a retaining clip is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Gerard G. Geiger, Giovanni Lewinski

Patent number: 10103528Abstract: An cable duct is presented herein. The cable duct includes a cover plate having a double sided hinge allowing the cover to be opened from one of two sides. The cover has a pair of saddle features longitudinally extending along distal edges of the cover plate, a base plate arranged opposite the cover plate, and a sidewalls extending from the base plate to the cover plate. Each sidewall defines a lobe mechanism on a sidewall end opposite the base plate that is configured to engage the corresponding saddle feature releasably secure the cover plate to the sidewall. Each saddle feature is configured to pivot about the lobe mechanism. Each lobe mechanism includes a rounded outer lobe portion having a first radius and a rounded inner lobe portion having a second radius. The first radius is greater than the second radius.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: HELLERMANNTYTON CORPORATIONInventor: Giovanni Lewinski
