  • Patent number: 5385321
    Abstract: A belt clamp includes a belt portion 10 and a buckle portion 20. The belt portion 10 is provided with a series of cogs 12 on the rear side along the longitudinal direction. The buckle portion 20 is provided with a tongue piece 30 having a through hole 22 adapted to permit said belt portion 10 to pass therethrough and pawls 32 adapted to engage with the cogs 12. The tongue piece 30 is formed on an end of a base plate 24 formed on the buckle portion so that only the pawls 32 project on the interior of the through hole 22. Thus, the distance between a wire harness after bundling and the top face of a panel becomes small, and the belt clamp requires a small mounting space and causes little backlash.

  • Patent number: 4875647
    Abstract: A cable tie includes an elongated strap and a buckle connected to one end of the strap and having an aperture for receiving the other end of the strap. Preferably, the strap has adjacent the buckle a connecting portion which has a width less than that of the remaining portion of the strap. In an alternative form of the invention, the strap has a plurality of spaced-apart projections formed on and extending longitudinally on the opposite side surfaces thereof except a connecting portion adjacent the buckle. In a further modification of the invention, the strap has a series of ridges formed on and extending longitudinally on a bundle engaging surface. The ridges are adapted to prevent slipping movements between the strap and the bundle in both longitudinal and circumferential directions of the bundle of wires or the like.
