Device in a cable tie

Abstract

The invention relates to a device in a cable tie. This comprises an elongate band part ( 2 ) of a certain width and thickness, which at one end has an elongate insertion part ( 2 a ) of a lesser width than the band part ( 2 ) and at its other end a locking head ( 3 ) with, on the one hand, a through-opening ( 4 ) for the band part ( 2 ), which has largely the same width as the band part ( 2 ) but a height greater than the thickness of the band part ( 2 ), and on the other a slit ( 5 ) in one transverse wall of the opening, the width of which slit is such that it will allow the insertion part ( 2 a ) to be inserted into the opening ( 4 ) via the slit ( 5 ), forming a band loop. A tongue ( 6 ), which is designed to lock the band part ( 2 ) in relation to the locking head ( 3 ), extends from one end of the opening ( 4 ) to the other and towards the slit ( 5 ). A sheet-metal insert ( 7 ) reinforcing the locking head ( 3 ) is embedded in the locking head ( 3 ).

1 . Device in a cable tie comprising an elongate band part of a certain width and thickness, which at one end has an elongate insertion part of a lesser width than the band part and at its other end a locking head with, on the one hand, a through-opening for the band part which has substantially the same width as the band part but a height greater than the thickness of the band part, and, on the other hand, a slit in one transverse wall of the opening, the width of which slit is such that it will allow the insertion part to be inserted into the opening via the slit, forming a band loop, a tongue, which is designed to lock the band part in relation to the locking head extending from one end of the opening to the other and towards the slit, wherein a sheet-metal insert reinforcing the locking head is embedded in the locking head.  
   
   
       2 . Device according to  claim 1 , wherein the insert is congruent with the opening in the locking head.  
   
   
       3 . Device according to  claim 1 , wherein the tongue is integrally formed with the insert.  
   
   
       4 . Device according to  claim 1 , wherein the locking head, in a manner known in the art, has flanges extending along edges of the slit and in towards the through-opening, the flanges being designed to interact with corresponding grooves in the band part.  
   
   
       5 . Device according to  claim 4 , wherein the insert is formed with corresponding metal flanges reinforcing the flanges of the locking head and interacting with grooves in the band part.  
   
   
       6 . Device according to  claim 1 , wherein the insert has flanges extending along edges of the slit and in towards the through-opening, the flanges being designed to interact with corresponding grooves in the band parts.  
   
   
       7 . Device according to  claim 2 , wherein the tongue is integrally formed with the insert.  
   
   
       8 . Device according to  claim 2 , wherein the locking head, in a manner known in the art, has flanges extending along edges of the slit and in towards the through-opening, the flanges being designed to interact with corresponding grooves in the band part.  
   
   
       9 . Device according to  claim 2 , wherein the insert has flanges extending along edges of the slit and in towards the through-opening, the flanges being designed to interact with corresponding grooves in the band part.
