Belt for tying cables

Abstract

A belt ( 1 ) for tying a number of cables is provided. The belt includes a flexible strip body ( 10 ) adapted to encircle said plurality cables, and a head forming an elastic hook ( 20 ) having a receiving portion and a latching arm ( 21 ) close to the flexible strip body ( 10 ). The latching arm ( 21 ) is flexible to be opened from the strip body ( 10 ) when a part of the cables slides into the receiving portion and then to be closed due to an elasticity of the hook ( 20 ).

1 . A belt for tying a plurality of cables, comprising:
 a flexible strip body;   a head forming a hook to secure a part of the cables therein;   a button portion integrally formed on an outside of the strip body; and   a tail portion forming a button structure to buckle said button portion; wherein   said strip body is adapted to form a circle receiving the plurality of cables and said button structure buckling said button portion when it is needed to tie said plurality of cables in the circle.   
     
     
         2 . A belt according to  claim 1 , wherein said hook has a curved portion connecting a front end of the strip body and a latching arm extending backwardly from said curved portion, said part of the cables being latched between the strip body and the curved portion and the latching arm. 
     
     
         3 . A belt according to  claim 2 , wherein said latching arm has a protrusion extending towards said strip body and having a tapered face for guiding said part of cables into the hook and a stop face for keeping said part of cables inside the hook. 
     
     
         4 . A belt according to  claim 1 , wherein said button portion forms a latching tab extending from a side face of the strip body, and said button structure defines a through hole, the latching tab mating into said through hole, thereby forming the buckling between said button structure and button portion. 
     
     
         5 . A belt according to  claim 4 , wherein said latching tab forms a rear slant face for latching said tail portion and guiding said tail portion towards the strip body. 
     
     
         6 . A belt according to  claim 5 , wherein said tail portion forms a depth-increased area around said through hole on an outside of the tail portion. 
     
     
         7 . A belt according to  claim 6 , wherein said tail portion forms two chamfers around said through hole on opposite sides of the tail portion. 
     
     
         8 . A belt for tying a plurality of cables, comprising:
 a flexible strip body adapted to encircle said plurality of cables; and   a head forming an elastic hook having a receiving portion and a latching arm close to said flexible strip body, wherein   said latching arm is flexible to be opened from the strip body when a part of the cables slides into said receiving portion and then to be closed due to an elasticity of the hook.   
     
     
         9 . A belt according to  claim 8 , wherein a button portion integrally formed on a side of the strip body and a tail portion forming a button structure to buckle said button portion. 
     
     
         10 . A belt according to  claim 9 , wherein said hook has a curved portion connecting a front end of the strip body, said latching arm extending backwardly from said curved portion. 
     
     
         11 . A belt according to  claim 10 , wherein said latching arm has a protrusion extending towards said strip body and having a tapered face for guiding said part of cables into the receiving portion and a stop face for keeping said part of cables therein. 
     
     
         12 . A belt according to  claim 8 , wherein said button portion forms a latching tab extending from an outside face of the strip body, and said button structure defining a through hole, the latching tab mating into said through hole thereby forming the buckling between said button structure and button portion  30 . 
     
     
         13 . A belt according to  claim 12 , wherein said latching tab forms a rear slant face for latching said tail portion and guiding said tail portion towards the strip body. 
     
     
         14 . A belt according to  claim 13 , wherein said tail portion forms a depth-increased area around said through hole on an outside of the tail portion. 
     
     
         15 . A belt according to  claim 14 , wherein said tail portion forms two chamfers around said through hole on opposite sides of the tail portion. 
     
     
         16 . A belt for use with a bundle of cables, comprising:
 a flexible strip body;   a head located around one end of said strip body and forming a deflectable hook thereof defining an inner receiving space for receiving few cables therein, and a button portion formed on an exterior face of said head; and   an opening formed in the other end of the strip body and adapted to be locked to the button portion so as to form an outer receiving space for receiving remaining most cables therein.   
     
     
         17 . The belt as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein a portion of said button portion around a free end of the hook defines a thinner structure in comparison with remaining portions of said button portion. 
     
     
         18 . The belt as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the end where the hook is located defines a greater thickness than the other end.
