Abstract

A fixing device includes a fixing member and two fixing belts. The fixing member includes a plate, two fixing portions extending from opposite sides of the plate, and a locking portion located between the two fixing portions. The locking portion includes a locking belt extending from the plate and a connecting portion extending from the plate. The locking belt is locked to the connecting portion to form a locking loop. The two fixing belts are fixed to the two fixing portions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fixing device comprising:
a fixing member comprising a plate, two fixing portions extending from opposite sides of the plate, and a locking portion located between the two fixing portions; and
two fixing belts;
wherein the locking portion comprises a locking belt extending from the plate and a connecting portion extending from the plate, a locking loop is defined by the locking belt and the connecting portion when the locking belt is locked to the connecting portion, and the two fixing belts are fixed to the two fixing portions; wherein a fixing hole is defined in each fixing portion, and each fixing portion comprises a spring piece located in the fixing hole and a stopper piece extending from the spring piece; wherein each fixing belt defines a plurality of stopper grooves, the spring piece is deformable, and the stopper piece is engaged with one of the plurality of stopper grooves to fix the fixing belt to the fixing member; wherein each fixing belt comprises a protrusion, the protrusion and the plurality of stopper grooves are located on opposite sides of the fixing belt, and the protrusion is engaged with the fixing portion to engage the stopper piece with one of the plurality of stopper grooves.

2. The fixing device of claim 1 , wherein the stopper piece is substantially perpendicular to the spring piece.

3. The fixing device of claim 1 , wherein the locking loop is configured to fix a cable of a plug.

4. The fixing device of claim 3 , wherein the locking belt defines a plurality of slots, the connecting portion comprises a latching portion, the connecting portion defines a receiving space, the locking belt is received in the receiving space, and the latching portion is engaged with one of the plurality of slots to fix the cable to the fixing member.

5. The fixing device of claim 1 , wherein the two fixing belts are configured to fix with a socket.

6. The fixing device of claim 5 , wherein each fixing belt comprises a coupling portion and a mounting portion extending from an outer surface of the coupling portion.

7. The fixing device of claim 6 , wherein the mounting portion is substantially V-shaped.

8. The fixing device of claim 1 , wherein the two fixing belts are substantially parallel to each other.

9. A fixing device comprising:
a fixing member comprising a plate, and a locking portion extending from the plate; and
a fixing belt;
wherein the locking portion comprises a locking belt extending from the plate and a connecting portion extending from the plate, the locking belt defines a plurality of slots, the connecting portion comprises a latching portion, a locking loop is defined to fix a cable of a plug by the locking belt and the connecting portion when the latching portion is locked to one of the plurality of slots, and the fixing belt is fixed to the fixing member, the fixing member comprises two fixing portions; wherein a fixing hole is defined in each fixing portion, and each fixing portion comprises a spring piece located in the fixing hole and a stopper piece extending from the spring piece; wherein each fixing belt defines a plurality of stopper grooves, the spring piece is deformable, and the stopper piece is engaged with one of the plurality of stopper grooves to fix the fixing belt to the fixing member, the fixing belt comprises a protrusion, the protrusion and the plurality of stopper grooves are located on opposite sides of the fixing belt, and the protrusion is engaged with the fixing portion to engage the stopper piece with one of the plurality of stopper grooves.

10. The fixing device of claim 9 , wherein the stopper piece is substantially perpendicular to the spring piece.

11. The fixing device of claim 9 , wherein the two fixing portions are extended from opposite sides of the plate.

12. The fixing device of claim 9 , wherein the locking portion is located between the two fixing portions.

13. The fixing device of claim 9 , wherein the connecting portion defines a receiving space, and the locking belt is received in the receiving space.

14. The fixing device of claim 9 , wherein the fixing belt is configured to fix with a socket.

15. The fixing device of claim 14 , wherein the fixing belt comprises a coupling portion and a mounting portion extending from an outer surface of the coupling portion.
