Abstract:
A wrap for wrapping elongate product, especially cable harnesses, with a preferably textile sheath, wherein there is a self-adhesive tape present on at least one edge region of the sheath that is narrow in comparison to the width of the sheath, said tape being adhered on the sheath in such a way that it extends over one of the longitudinal edges of the sheath, the textile sheath and the adhesive tape having one or more weakening lines substantially at right angles to the running direction, so that the wrap is relatively easy to tear by hand.
Abstract:
The cable tie tool has a modular tool head and a tool handle from which the tool head may be detached. The attachment and detachment provided by the modular tool head provides for the use of multiple tool heads with a single tool handle in which is mounted a trigger mechanism. Each modular tool head is secured to the tool handle by a latch mechanism. Each tool head further includes a tensioning mechanism for applying a tension force to a cable tie. Each tensioning mechanism provides for application of a corresponding tension force to the cable tie proportional to the force applied to the tensioning mechanism by the trigger mechanism. The respective tension forces are different for at least one uniform force applied by the trigger mechanism to the corresponding tensioning mechanisms.
Abstract:
A stacking aid for stacking goods on a loading aid, such as a pallet, has wall parts surrounding the goods stacked on the loading aid. It is possible to alter the height of at least one of the wall parts and to remove the stacking aid from the loading aid after completion of the stacking procedure. A method for stacking goods on a loading aid, such as a pallet, with the aid of the stacking aid entails (a) obtaining a stacking aid which surrounds a stack of goods on the loading aid, (b) loading the loading aid with goods by using the stacking aid, and (c) lifting the loading aid relative to the stacking. The stack of goods lifted out of the stacking aid are wrapped for stabilization. The invention makes it possible to efficiently secure the stack of goods on the pallet during the commissioning through the removable stacking aid and during the subsequent transportation of the goods by the stabilizing the goods, for instance with a film.
Abstract:
A device and method for cutting and re-attaching film for wrapping groups of palletized products are provided. Following the wrapping of a pack, the width of the section of film extending between a reel and the pack is reduced, using an assembly that defines a band of film with minimum width that, at least at one point, is coplanar with a rotating platform. The section of film is then gripped by a gripper and cutting unit. The gripper and cutting unit are attached to the outer edge of the platform. The section of film is then cut by the cutting unit following rotation of the platform.
Abstract:
A tool for tying articles, in particular cable harnesses, by means of tapes. The latter are fed to the tool in the form of a magazine strip (21) which contains the tapes alongside one another. Feeding takes place in a predetermined direction through a tool insertion opening (16) that accepts the end (22) of the magazine strip (21). According to the invention, the magazine can be attached to the tool (7) by means of guide devices (23, 24) which, at least in their part which determines the last part of the attaching movement, are designed such that the outlet opening of the magazine approaches the insertion opening (16) of the tool (7) approximately in the predetermined direction.
Abstract:
An arrangement for tying an article, in particular a cable harness, comprises a tough elastic tape with a closure (12) arranged at the end of an elongated tape tongue and a tying tool. Arranged at the front of the tool body (1) are wrapping tongs (2, 3) that can be opened and closed and through which the tape can be guided around the article to be tied. Located in the tool body is a tape guide channel (10) opening inside the wrapping tongs and having an advancing member for advancing the tape with the tape tongue forward, the channel being adjoined in the wrapping tongs by a tape guide groove (20, 21). Arranged at the mouth of the tape guide channel (10) is a closure holder for holding the closure (12) and a spring rocker (15) for pressing the tape tongue being advanced on to a surface (11) of the tape guide channel (10). According to the invention, the spring rocker (15) has a front face (24) that participates in forming the closure holder (11, 18, 24).
Abstract:
A tape stapling device made up of a body (1) with a container or store for a reel of tape, an upper framework (2) connected to the body, with a staple loader (18) housed inside it and with a lever (3,6) and an arm (4) secured to and pivoting on the said framework (2). The end of the arm (4) includes a mechanism which takes up the tape coming from the container (36) along an open groove, it pulls on the tape, later creating a loop on the inside of the arm (4) and finally it staples and cuts the tape which has already been arranged around the items to be secured.
Abstract:
A strap mount for holding a bundle of wires against a hole in a structure such as a wall or ceiling. The strap mount includes a thin, closed loop mount member having a pair of substantially parallel extended end sections and a central loop section including a passageway. The shape of the mount allows for it, and an engaged strap, to pass completely through a hole in a structure and then be oriented so that the strap mount will be prevented from returning through the hole. When the strap mount is held up against the structure, the bundle can then be secured by tightening the cable strap around it.
Abstract:
A portable cable application tool for fastening an individual cable tie around an object where the cable tie has a strap and a strap locking head and is provided in a continuous ribbon of cable ties includes upper and lower jaws for positioning the cable tie around an object to be fastened. The tool includes a cable advancing means for advancing an individual cable tie within the tool having a carriage, a carriage mounting means for mounting the carriage to the tool for reciprocal movement between a rearward position and a forward position and cable tie pusher means carried on the carriage for pushing a cable tie from a cable tie receiver means to upper and lower jaws of the tool. The carriage includes insertion cam means disposed for engaging a linkage means to pivot the upper jaw and insert the cable tie when the carriage is advanced to the forward position whereby the movement of the carriage effects the timed advancement of the cable tie within the tool and the timed insertion of the cable tie through the locking head of the cable tie.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for mounting and tightening an open clamp about an object to be fastened in which a first jaw-like member causes the band end portion intended to constitute the inner band portion to be placed about the object to be fastened, a second jaw-like member then causes the other band end portion of the clamp intended to constitute the outer band portion to be placed about the object to be fastened in such a manner that the outwardly extending hook or hooks in the inner band portion is or are adapted to engage with the corresponding aperture or apertures in the outer band portion. Two further jaw-like members each having pincer-like nose portions at the free ends are then actuated to engage with the outwardly extending leg portions of a plastically deformable ear in the clamping band to plastically deform the latter after the mechanical connection by engagement of the outwardly extending hook or hooks in the corresponding aperture or apertures is established, to tighten the clamp about the object to be fastened. A holding device thereby holds the clamp in position until the first and second jaw-like members have been actuated and assume the holding function to permit release of the clamp by the holding device. Operation of the machine is fully automatic by appropriate sequence controls of fluid-actuated piston and cylinder units.
