Method and apparatus for securing cables and the like

In combination, a conventional cable tie and a cable encircling member having a width exceeding the width of the cable tie. The cable encircling member has an opening extending between upper and lower surfaces thereof. The free end of the cable tie tail is inserted from the upper surface of the cable engaging member through the opening and the tail of the cable tie is dressed along the lower surface of the cable engaging member such that the free end of the cable tie extends outwardly of an end of the cable encircling member. Conductors to be ensnared are now laid upon the upper surface of the cable encircling member. The free end of the cable tie tail is now inserted into the head of the cable tie forming the cable encircling member into a spiral coil loosely encircling the conductors. The free end of the cable tie is now pulled beyond the cable tie head until the spiral coil moves into tightly encircling relation with the conductors.

Cable ties having innate connection compatibility with mounting plates

Cable ties have configuration which self-urges free ends of the cable ties to emerge from mounting plates after the free ends of the cable ties are inserted into disposition into a limited space existing between the mounting plates and parent structure to which the mounting plates are secured.

Method and apparatus for securing cables and the like

A mount for securing a cable tie to a panel having a mounting aperture therethrough of a given expanse, the mount having a cable tie receiving and retaining passage therein, the mount having a relaxed state defining a first mount expanse larger than the given expanse and an unrelaxed state defining a second mount expanse not greater than the given expanse, the mount being insertable into and through the mounting aperture in the unrelaxed state thereof and thereupon assuming the relaxed state thereof and perimetrically closing the mounting aperture.

Toggle apparatus and methods

An assembly for use in hanging articles, comprises: (a) a panel having a mounting aperture extending between front and rear walls of the panel; (b) a securement member juxtaposed with the panel rear wall; (c) a cable tie having a head and an elongate tail, the cable tie tail extending through the securement member and the mounting aperture, the cable tie urging the securement member against the panel rear wall; and (d) a hanger juxtaposed with the panel front wall and ensnared by retention of the cable tie tail by the cable tie head, the assembly including structure resisting displacement of the hanger transversely of the cable tie tail.

Medication dosage container

Method and apparatus for securing cables and the like

A securement member is provided for mounting a cable tie to a mounting panel. The cable tie is an elongate member having a head and a tail extending from the head and having a self-bias to a planar condition. The securement member comprises a rigid elongate body defining an aperture extending therethrough, the aperture being adapted to receive the tail and being dimensioned to frictionally engage the received tail, attaching the tail to the securement member. The frictional force is derived from a widthwise or heightwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition. Force derived from the lengthwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition may supplement the widthwise component in both attaching the tail to the securement member and in mounting the tie on a mounting panel.

Movable closure for optical elements

ABSTRACT MOVABLE CLOSURE ERR OPTICAL ELEMENTS A closure for optical element terminations, which alternately covers and uncovers the exposed optical element. The closure includes a shroud which covers the housing containing the optical element. The shroud is movable between position opening and closing the optical element, in response to the connection and disconnection of housing.

Thermocouple connection

Optical fiber connector

The invention is directed to a connector for optically coupling one or more fibers to a like number of fibers. The individual fibers are supported upon members having resilient supports to permit the fibers on one member to be positioned onto the support of the other member and provide support during the complete coupling operation. Various clamps and strain reliefs are provided to minimize the effects of forces upon the cable or individual fibers. The cable may take a flat, circular or other configuration and the fibers may be of glass or plastic and may be coated with reflective sheaths or the like.
