Abstract

A cable tie is revealed. The cable tie includes a slot base with an insertion hole, a belt and at least one fastener. At least one surface of the insertion hole is a slanted surface. Locking teeth is arranged at a surface of the belt. The fastener is mounted into the insertion hole of the slot base correspondingly. The fastener includes a slanted surface corresponding to the slanted surface of the slot base, and projecting teeth corresponding to the locking teeth of the belt. When the belt is inserted through the insertion hole of the slot base to bind objects tightly, the fastener is mounted into the insertion hole so that the projecting teeth of the fastener are engaged with the locking teeth of the belt so as to lock and fix the belt. The cable tie can be used again once the belt is released from the fastener.

Claims (13)

1. A cable tie comprising:

a slot base having at least one insertion hole; the insertion hole having at least one slanted surface, the slot base including locking and releasing slot parts partitioned by a protrusion formed therebetween;

a belt with a plurality of locking teeth arranged on a surface at one side thereof; and

at least one fastener displaceably mounted in the insertion hole of the slot base; the fastener including a slanted surface corresponding to the slanted surface of the insertion hole, and a plurality of projecting teeth corresponding to the locking teeth of the belt, the fastener including at least one clamping part defining a rounded m the locking and releasing slot parts of the slot base and slidably disengage therefrom across the protrusion.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking slot part and a releasing slot part, are offset from each other along a direction transverse to the projecting teeth of the fastener.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking slot part and the releasing slot part are disposed on two corresponding inner surfaces of the insertion hole of the slot base, and the clamping part is arranged at each of two sides of the fastener.

4. The device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a central part of the fastener is hollow to define a space accommodating two sides of the fastener during elastic deformation thereof.

5. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking slot part and the releasing slot part are disposed on two corresponding outer surfaces of the insertion hole of the slot base, and the clamping part is arranged at a rear end of an arm extending from each of two sides of the fastener.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot base and the belt are connected to each other.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the locking slot part and a releasing slot part, are offset from each other along a direction transverse to the projecting teeth of the fastener.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the locking slot part and the releasing slot part are disposed on two corresponding inner surfaces of the insertion hole of the slot base, and the clamping part is arranged at each of two sides of the fastener.

9. The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a central part of the fastener is hollow to define a space accommodating two sides of the fastener during elastic deformation thereof.

10. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the locking slot part and the releasing slot part are disposed on two corresponding outer surfaces of the insertion hole of the slot base, and the clamping part is arranged at a rear end of an arm extending from each of two sides of the fastener.
