Abstract

A cable tie has a band and having a tensioning device which is integrated in the band and which divides the band into a first and a second region, each of which regions has a toothed portion. A cable channel, or a component, to which an object, such as for example a cable harness, is to be fastened can remain in the fitting position because both ends of the cable tie can be plugged into cable locks from one side. No tools are required for the fitting of the cable tie.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cable tie comprising: a first and second cable band, which are permanently connected to one another by means of a tensioning device which is integrated between the first and second cable, wherein each cable band has a toothed portion at an end opposite to the tensioning device, wherein the tensioning device is designed to be pivotable and comprises a latching head and two tensioning hooks, and wherein one of the first and the second cable band has an elastic portion which can be extended in a longitudinal direction of the cable band.

2. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the tensioning device is connected to the first and second cable bands by means of film hinges.

3. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the first cable band has a latching opening for receiving the latching head, and the second cable band has projecting tensioning pegs which fit into in each case one receiving part of the two tensioning hooks.

4. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the latching head has two resilient tabs, one of which is provided with a latching projection.

5. The cable tie according to claim 1 , wherein the tensioning hooks are provided on the side facing towards the tensioning pegs with a latching projection.

6. The cable tie according to claim 5 , wherein run-on bevels are formed on the latching projections.

7. A fastening set for fastening objects to a component, comprising two cable-band locks and a cable tie according to claim 1 .

8. A method for fitting a cable tie according to claim 1 , in order to fasten an object to a component, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
plugging and latching of cable-band locks into openings in the component;
introduction of the toothed portions of the first and second cable band into the cable-band locks; and
tensioning of the tensioning device.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the ends of the first and second cable bands are introduced until the cable tie bears without play against the object.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the tensioning of the tensioning device is realized by way of pivoting of the tensioning device.
