Repurpose cable tie device
Abstract
A repurpose cable tie device for reusing a broken cable tie includes a head being a plastic material. The head has a top surface, a bottom surface, a first surface, and a second surface. Furthermore, the head has a rectangular prism shape. An initial opening is positioned next to the first surface of the head. The initial opening is nests a cable tie within itself. A lock opening is positioned next to the second surface of the head. The lock opening has a first wall and a second wall, and a protrusion is positioned on the first wall. The protrusion is retains the cable tie inserted within the lock opening from reverse direction. A middle opening is positioned in a center from the initial opening to the lock opening. The middle opening is nests a cable tie within itself, similar to the initial opening.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A repurpose cable tie device configured for reusing a zip tie, the repurpose cable tie device comprising:
a head being a plastic material, said head having a top surface and a bottom surface, said head having a first surface and a second surface, said head having a rectangular prism shape; an initial opening being positioned proximate to said first surface of said head, said initial opening being configured for nesting a cable tie within; a lock opening being positioned proximate to said second surface of said head, said lock opening having a first wall and a second wall, a protrusion being positioned on said first wall of said lock opening, said protrusion being configured for restraining said cable tie inserted within said lock opening from reverse direction; and a middle opening being positioned in a center from said initial opening to said lock opening, said middle opening being configured for nesting a cable tie within.
2 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said head having a pair of lateral surfaces, said pair of lateral surfaces being positioned perpendicular relative to said top and bottom surfaces.
3 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said first and second surfaces being positioned perpendicular relative to said pair of lateral surfaces.
4 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said initial opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said initial opening having a rectangular shape.
5 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said lock opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said lock opening having a rectangular shape.
6 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said protrusion having a plurality of indents configured to engage with a clasp locking fastener of the cable tie.
7 . The repurpose cable tie device of claim 1 , further comprising said middle opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said middle opening having a rectangular shape.
8 . A repurpose cable tie device configured for reusing a zip tie, the repurpose cable tie device comprising:
a head being a plastic material, said head having a top surface and a bottom surface, said head having a pair of lateral surfaces, said pair of lateral surfaces being positioned perpendicular relative to said top and bottom surfaces, said head having a first surface and a second surface, said first and second surfaces being positioned perpendicular relative to said pair of lateral surfaces, said head having a rectangular prism shape; an initial opening being positioned proximate to said first surface of said head, said initial opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said initial opening having a rectangular shape, said initial opening being configured for nesting a cable tie within; a lock opening being positioned proximate to said second surface of said head, said lock opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said lock opening having a rectangular shape, said lock opening having a first wall and a second wall, a protrusion being positioned on said first wall of said lock opening, said protrusion having a plurality of indents configured to engage with a clasp locking fastener of the cable tie, said protrusion being configured for restraining said cable tie inserted within said lock opening from reverse direction; and a middle opening being positioned in a center from said initial opening to said lock opening, said middle opening being an aperture from said top surface to said bottom surface of said head, said middle opening having a rectangular shape, said middle opening being configured for nesting a cable tie within.
9 . A method for repurposing a cable tie, the method for repurposing the cable tie including the step of:
inserting a tip of a cable tie within a initial opening of a top surface of a head, pulling the tip through said initial opening to nest a body of the cable tie within said initial opening; folding the cable tie to position the tip facing towards said head, said tip abutting said body of said cable tie; inserting the tip of the cable tie within a middle opening of a bottom surface of said head, pulling the tip through said middle opening to nest the body of the cable tie within said middle opening of said head; folding the cable tie to position the tip facing towards said head, said body of said cable being nested within said initial opening and said middle opening; inserting the tip of the cable tie within a lock opening of said top surface of said head, pulling the tip of the cable tie through said lock opening to position the body of the cable tie within said lock opening, a protrusion of said lock opening engaging with a clasp locking fastener of the cable tie, said protrusion restrains the cable tie from reverse direction, the body of the cable tie forming a loop upon a top surface of said head; and an item being secured to the cable tie by being enclosed within said loop prior to fastening by pulling on the tip of the cable tie.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
