Band clip for cashing

Abstract

A band clip for binding a pipe includes a fastening band and a holder buckle. The pipe can be bound safely and conveniently in a one-touch process of simply pulling the fastening band, with a fastening portion gradually curved inward against protruding and opened insert sections of the holder buckle without having to perform cumbersome and difficult actions of inserting the fastening band into a hole of the holder buckle, so that a process of binding the pipe can be carried out easily and safely even in hostile environments. The fastening band is first caught by the latch protrusion while passing through the holder buckle when fastened around the pipe, and then caught again by the binding-fixing lugs, and thus can be double-bound to the holder buckle easily and stably without having to use a tool.

1 . A band clip for a pipe, comprising:
 a fastening band having a fastening-insert end, an insert guide section being connected to the fastening-insert end and being gradually curved inward, a fixing-folding end at an opposite end of the fastening-insert end, and a band-winding protrusion projecting from the fixing-folding end to a predetermined height; and   a holder buckle fixedly pressed against a bottom of the fixing-folding end of the fastening band, wherein the holder buckle has band insert sections protruding from both side edges of a main portion thereof and band-binding protrusions projecting from both sides of an outer end thereof to a predetermined height, the band insert sections bent inward to define a slit between the band insert sections to allow passage to the fastening-insert end of the fastening band, the band-binding protrusions bent inward onto the fastening band, the fastening band being passed through the band insert sections and folded in an opposite direction, thereby fixedly pressing the fastening band against the holder buckle.   
   
   
       2 . The band clip according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening band has buckle-fastening holes formed in the fixing-folding end thereof, on both sides of the band-winding protrusion, and
 wherein the holder buckle has band-supporting protrusions projecting from a band-fixing body, the band-supporting protrusions fitting into the buckle-fastening holes of the fastening band, thereby integrally engaging the holder buckle with the fastening band.   
   
   
       3 . The band clip according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening band is further comprised of a strength-enhancing protrusion extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and located in a central portion of the insert guide, adjacent to the fastening-insert end. 
   
   
       4 . The band clip according to  claim 1 , wherein the band insert sections of the holder buckle have an inclined configuration so that one portion adjacent to the band-winding protrusion of the fastening band protrudes higher than an opposite portion adjacent to the band-binding protrusions of the holder buckle. 
   
   
       5 . A band clip for a pipe, comprising:
 a fastening band having a band body, a fastening-insert end disposed at one end of the band body, an insert guide section being connected to the fastening-insert end and being gradually curved inward, a fixing-folding end disposed at an opposite end of the band body, a band-winding protrusion projecting from the fixing-folding end to a predetermined height, a latch protrusion projecting upward from a central portion of the fixing-folding end, and a plurality of latch grooves formed in a portion of the band body adjacent to the insert guide section to catch the latch protrusion, thereby first fixing the band clip; and   a holder buckle fixedly pressed against a bottom of the fixing-folding end of the fastening band,   wherein the holder buckle is comprised of band insert sections protruding from both side edges of a main portion thereof and being bent inward, band-binding protrusions projecting from both sides of an outer end thereof to a predetermined height, and   wherein binding-fixing lugs, each project inward from each of the band-binding protrusions in order to allow the band body of the fastening band, which is passed through the band insert sections, to be folded in an opposite direction, thereby second fixing the band clip.   
   
   
       6 . The band clip according to  claim 5 , wherein the fastening band further comprising:
 a strength-enhancing protrusion extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and being located in a central portion of the insert guide adjacent to the fastening-insert end,   wherein the latch grooves are D-shaped, receiving and securely holding the latch protrusion on the fixing-folding end.   
   
   
       7 . The band clip according to  claim 5 , wherein the fastening band further comprises a strength-enhancing protrusion extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and located in a central portion of the insert guide adjacent to the fastening-insert end,
 wherein the band insert sections of the holder buckle are sloped upward from the band-binding protrusions, each of the band insert sections having a strength-enhancing protrusion in a configuration similar to the strength-enhancing protrusion of the fastening band, the strength-enhancing protrusion of the band insert section formed by pressing and extending in a longitudinal direction of the band insert section.
