Abstract

The present invention discloses a cable tie which comprises a locking head, a belt connected to the locking head by one end thereof and a buckle. The locking head comprises a channel for an insertion of the belt and an assembly groove adjacent to the channel. The buckle is pivotally connected to the assembly groove and has an engaging sheet to engage with plural rack teeth of the belt. The engaging sheet of the buckle further has a positioning protrusion extended from an upper end of the engaging sheet for correspondingly attaching to and moving along a first inclined surface at an upper region of a positioning block of the locking head by a bottom edge thereof for engaging with or unfastening a fastening surface of the positioning block.

Claims (8)

1. A cable tie, comprising:

a locking head having a channel, an assembly groove adjacent to the channel and a positioning block formed at an upper edge of a back side thereof, wherein the assembly groove has a hollow portion communicated with the channel at a front side thereof and two pivot holes respectively at two lateral walls close to a bottom thereof, and wherein the positioning block has a first inclined surface at a back upper edge and tilted downwardly to the assembly groove and a fastening surface at a back side thereof;

a belt connected to a back side of the locking head at one end thereof for inserting into the channel of the locking head and having plural rack teeth disposed longitudinally on one surface thereof; and

a buckle disposed in the assembly groove of the locking head and having a pivot at a bottom thereof for respectively and pivotally connecting the two pivot holes formed on the two lateral walls of the assembly groove at two ends thereof, an engaging sheet having plural engaging claws passing through the hollow portion of the assembly groove to be located in the channel for correspondingly engaging with the plural rack teeth of the belt, wherein the engaging sheet has an extension segment bended back from an upper end thereof and a positioning protrusion at a bottom of the extension segment, and wherein the positioning protrusion is attached to and moving along the first inclined surface of the positioning block by a bottom edge thereof for engaging with or unfastening from the fastening surface at the back side of the positioning block to unfasten and fasten respectively, the engaging claws of the engaging sheet from the plural rack teeth.

2. The cable tie as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking head is provided with a slot at a front side thereof.

3. The cable tie as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the assembly groove of the locking head has a curved surface at the bottom for contacting the pivot of the buckle.

4. The cable tie as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the assembly groove of the locking head is provided with two guiding segments tapered downward from an upper edge respectively at the two lateral walls thereof above the two pivot holes, and wherein the pivot of the buckle is placed in the assembly groove of the locking head and pivotally connected to the two pivot holes by two ends moving along the two guiding segments of the assembly groove.

5. The cable tie as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pivot of the buckle is provided with two second inclined surfaces tapered downward respectively at two ends thereof so as to be placed in the locking head and pivotally connected to the two pivot holes by the two second inclined surfaces moving along the two guiding segments of the assembly groove.
