Cable tie

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a cable tic. An apparatus includes a securing member and an elastic string coupled to the securing member such that at least two loops are formed, a first loop being smaller than a second loop of the at least two loops.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a securing member; and   an elastic string coupled to the securing member such that at least two loops are formed, a first loop being smaller than a second loop of the at least two loops.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an anchor that is used to couple the elastic string to an interior of the securing member. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the anchor comprises a base member that is coupled to the interior of the securing member and a securing arm that is bent onto the string to secure the string to the anchor. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the base member comprises a plurality of perforations. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the anchor is coupled to an interior of the securing member using an adhesive. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a crimping device that is connected to a first end and a second end of the elastic string, the crimping device inserted into the securing member to form at least one of the first and second loops. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a tab member on at least one of the first and second loops for securing or removing the at least one of the first and second loops to or from the securing member. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member and the elastic string comprise a unitary piece. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an attachment means coupled to the securing member, the attachment means configured to secure the apparatus to another object. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the attachment means comprises at least one of a clip, a ring, carabiner, a magnet, a snap, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , further comprising a hook that is connected to the securing member and the attachment means at a first end and the elastic string and a second end. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a cap piece that is selectively removable from the securing member. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises an adjustable member that is actuated to change sizes of the first and second loops. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a spherical shape. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a cubical shape. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a half-spherical shape. 
     
     
         17 . A system, comprising:
 a securing member;   an elastic string coupled to the securing member such that at least two loops are formed, a first loop being smaller than a second loop of the at least two loops;   a tab member on at least one of the first and second loops for securing or removing the at least one of the first and second loops to or from the securing member; and   an attachment means coupled to the securing member, the attachment means configured to secure the securing member to another object.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the attachment means comprises at least one of a clip, a ring, carabiner, a magnet, a snap, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the securing member comprises a spherical shape, a cubical shape, or a half-spherical shape. 
     
     
         20 . A method comprising:
 providing a securing member,   providing an elastic string; and   coupling the elastic string to the securing member such that at least two loops are formed, a first loop being smaller than a second loop of the at least two loops.
