Patent number: 9663280Abstract: A bundle spacing device having a first pair of opposing surfaces spaced apart from each other a first distance and a second pair of opposing surfaces spaced apart from each other a second distance, different than the first distance, and generally perpendicular to the first pair of opposing surfaces. The bundle spacing device is configured such that bundles can be coupled to the bundle spacing device in a first position or a second position. The bundle spacing device can also have a first passage extending along a first axis, a second passage extending along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, and a third passage extending along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Jonathan A. DeMik, Michael J. Vermeer, Wu Wenli

Patent number: 8276244Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an elastomeric releasable cable tie having a head and a strap extending from the head. The head includes an end wall, an inner wall and sidewalls. The end wall, inner wall and sidewalls define a channel that extends from an entrance end to an exit end of the head. The head also includes a hingeless wedge extending from the end wall into the channel for engaging the strap.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Michael J. Vermeer, Robert J. Krisel, David W. West

Patent number: 7959113Abstract: A network cable bundling tool is disclosed, comprising an inner fitting retained within an outer jacket assembly. The outer jacket assembly comprises a first outer jacket half coupled to a substantially identical second outer jacket half, securing the inner fitting therein. The outer jacket assembly comprises a cylindrical housing, an intake orifice defined within the intake housing, and a plurality of funneling projections coupled to the cylindrical housing wherein the plurality of funneling projections form an array assuming the general shape of a truncated faceted cone. In operation, network cable wires are inserted into the inner fitting, and the inner fitting is then secured within the outer jacket assembly. The network cable bundling tool is then displaced in the desired direction of combing, arranging the network cables into an organized and space-efficient shape.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Michael J. Vermeer, Richard A. Marcus, Robert J. Krisel, David W. West
