Abstract

A cable tie including a belt, a base, a restricting part, and a controlling part is provided. The belt has a contacting side. The base is connected to a first end of the belt and has a through-hole. The restricting part is connected to the base and is located in the through-hole. The controlling part has a connecting portion, and a protruding portion and a pressing portion away from the connecting portion, and the connecting portion is connected to the base. When the belt passes through the through-hole, the contacting side defines a tying area for accommodating a tied object, and the protruding portion protrudes into the tying area. When the tied object pushes the protruding portion towards outside the tying area, the pressing portion presses the restricting part to restrict a movement of the belt.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable tie comprising:
a belt having a contacting side;
a base connected to a first end of the belt and having a through-hole;
a restricting part connected to the base and located in the through-hole; and
a controlling part having a connecting portion, and a protruding portion and a pressing portion away from the connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion is connected to the base,
wherein when the belt passes through the through-hole, the contacting side defines a tying area for accommodating a tied object, and the protruding portion protrudes into the tying area, and
when the tied object pushes the protruding portion towards outside the tying area, the pressing portion presses the restricting part to restrict a movement of the belt.

2. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the cable tie is integrally formed.

3. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein when the protruding portion is not pushed by the tied object, the pressing portion is kept at a distance from the restricting part.

4. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the belt further has a plurality of first unidirectional serrations located on the contacting side, the restricting part has at least one second unidirectional serration, and the second unidirectional serration works with the plurality of first unidirectional serrations to restrict the belt from moving in a direction which would result in an increase in the tying area.

5. The cable tie according to claim 4 , wherein the restricting part has a plurality of the second unidirectional serrations.

6. A cable tie comprising:
a belt having a contacting side;
a base connected to a first end of the belt and having a through-hole;
a restricting part connected to the base and located in the through-hole; and
a controlling part having a connecting portion, and a protruding portion and a pressing portion away from the connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion is connected to the base, the pressing portion is kept at a distance from the restricting part, and the controlling part is rotatable to press the restricting part by the pressing portion,
wherein when the belt passes through the through-hole, the contacting side defines a tying area for accommodating a tied object, and the protruding portion protrudes into the tying area.

7. The cable tie according to claim 6 , wherein the cable tie is integrally formed.

8. The cable tie according to claim 6 , wherein the belt further has a plurality of first unidirectional serrations located on the contacting side, the restricting part has at least one second unidirectional serration, and the second unidirectional serration works with the plurality of first unidirectional serrations to restrict the belt from moving in a direction which would result in an increase in the tying area.

9. The cable tie according to claim 8 , wherein the restricting part has a plurality of the second unidirectional serrations.
