Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to straps for encircling and securing objects and, more particularly to a cinch strap having a base or anchor and a strap for holding cables, wires or tubes.
- Cable straps are used to secure together items such as bundles of wires or cables, or to secure wires or cables to objects. For example, when two or more wires are run along a common path, to ensure an orderly appearance cinch straps or cable straps are used to bind the wires or cables together. Similar straps can be used to secure one or several wires or cables to a frame, pipe or other object fixed in position relative to the wires. In this way, the wires can be held in an inconspicuous location, and can be protected from dangerous entanglements or other damage.
- the general design of a known cable strap for mounting cables, wires, etc. in structures such as motor vehicles, appliances and the like includes some type of anchoring feature, such as deflectable legs for securing the cinch strap assembly in an anchoring hole of a component in the structure, a clamping structure to lock the cable strap in a selected position, etc.
- a pedestal having an outer bed to support the cables or wires being held extends from the top of the anchoring feature.
- a strap connected to the pedestal encircles the cables or wires, and a distal end of the strap is passed through a locking aperture in the pedestal below the bed. Protrusions on the strap engage cooperating features in the locking aperture to inhibit withdrawal of the strap from the locking aperture. In this way, the strap cinches the cable or wires against the pedestal bed.
- a recognized phenomenon in the use of such cable straps is that a large cable or bundle of cables frequently will stabilize on the pedestal bed in an off-centered orientation.
- the strap assumes a departing angle from the pedestal closer and closer to ninety degrees, thus urging the cable or bundle of cables in a direction away from the attached end of the cable.
- This moves the center of the cable or bundle of cables away from the centerline of the pedestal and away from the centerline of the anchoring feature and anchoring hole. This can cause the anchoring feature to twist or bend relative to the anchoring hole, potentially causing wear and/or dislodgement.
- the present self-centering cable strap includes fingers extending away from the bed on the opposite side form the anchored end of the strap to hold a cable or bundle of cables in a more centered orientation on the bed.
- a pedestal for receiving an item held by the self-centering strap and a cinch strap having a proximal end secured to the pedestal.
- a strap-receiving aperture is provided in the pedestal.
- An abutment finger extends away from the bed from a side of the pedestal opposite from the proximal end of the strap. The finger extends outwardly of a plane defined by a surface of the bed.
- a main body defines a bed outer surface; a cinch strap is connected to the main body at a fixed proximal end of the cinch strap and selectively securable to the main body along a length of the cinch strap including a distal end; and an abutment extends laterally and axially from the bed outer surface along a side of the bed opposite the fixed proximal end of the cinch strap.
- a body in still another aspect of a form of a self-centering cable strap a body includes a mounting feature at one end thereof and a bed having an outer surface at an opposite end thereof, the outer surface configured for engaging an item held there against.

- a cinch strap has a proximal end fixedly connected to the body and has and a distal end. The cinch strap is elongated and flexible for forming a loop with the distal end inserted into the strap receiving aperture.
- An abutment finger extends away from the bed laterally and axially from the outer surface on an opposite side of the bed from the proximal end connected to the body.
- An advantage of a self-centering cable strap in at least one form is that a centered and aligned assembly is provided for the cable strap anchoring feature in an anchoring hole and a cable or bundle of cables held by the self-centering strap.
- Another advantage of a self-centering cable strap in at least one form is that a clamp requires consistent and controllable closing force for locking.

- the self-centering feature which keeps the cables, wires, tubes and the like centered to the pedestal and bed will also help maintain the desired offset relationship with the mounting feature, and the desired positioning and attachment within the overall assembly.
- a hole, tube or other structural feature to which the mounting feature of the cable strap can be attached is not and cannot be centered or aligned with the desired path for routing the cables, wires, tubes and the like being held by the cable strap.
- a cable strap having a designed offset between the cable strap mounting feature and the pedestal and bed for retaining the cables, tubes or wires is used.
- Facilitating proper alignment of the cables, tubes or wires on the pedestal and bed facilitates the desired and designed overall relationship of the components, and the desired positioning of the cable strap in the assembly. Accordingly, the exemplary illustrations having mounting features aligned with the beds is not limiting on the use or application of the self-centering features disclosed herein, and is not intended to be limiting on the claims to follow.

Description
- The present application claims the benefits of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/223,451; filed Jul. 7, 2009.
- The present invention relates generally to straps for encircling and securing objects and, more particularly to a cinch strap having a base or anchor and a strap for holding cables, wires or tubes.
- Cable straps are used to secure together items such as bundles of wires or cables, or to secure wires or cables to objects. For example, when two or more wires are run along a common path, to ensure an orderly appearance cinch straps or cable straps are used to bind the wires or cables together. Similar straps can be used to secure one or several wires or cables to a frame, pipe or other object fixed in position relative to the wires. In this way, the wires can be held in an inconspicuous location, and can be protected from dangerous entanglements or other damage.
- The general design of a known cable strap for mounting cables, wires, etc. in structures such as motor vehicles, appliances and the like includes some type of anchoring feature, such as deflectable legs for securing the cinch strap assembly in an anchoring hole of a component in the structure, a clamping structure to lock the cable strap in a selected position, etc. A pedestal having an outer bed to support the cables or wires being held extends from the top of the anchoring feature. A strap connected to the pedestal encircles the cables or wires, and a distal end of the strap is passed through a locking aperture in the pedestal below the bed. Protrusions on the strap engage cooperating features in the locking aperture to inhibit withdrawal of the strap from the locking aperture. In this way, the strap cinches the cable or wires against the pedestal bed.
- A recognized phenomenon in the use of such cable straps is that a large cable or bundle of cables frequently will stabilize on the pedestal bed in an off-centered orientation. As the strap encircling the cable or bundle of cables is pulled taut and secured in the locking aperture, the strap assumes a departing angle from the pedestal closer and closer to ninety degrees, thus urging the cable or bundle of cables in a direction away from the attached end of the cable. This moves the center of the cable or bundle of cables away from the centerline of the pedestal and away from the centerline of the anchoring feature and anchoring hole. This can cause the anchoring feature to twist or bend relative to the anchoring hole, potentially causing wear and/or dislodgement.
- What is needed and would provide advantages is a self-centering cable strap that promotes alignment of a cable or bundle of cables with the centerline of the anchoring feature of the cable strap.
- The present self-centering cable strap includes fingers extending away from the bed on the opposite side form the anchored end of the strap to hold a cable or bundle of cables in a more centered orientation on the bed.
- In one aspect of one form of a self-centering cable strap, there is provided a pedestal, a bed for receiving an item held by the self-centering strap and a cinch strap having a proximal end secured to the pedestal. A strap-receiving aperture is provided in the pedestal. An abutment finger extends away from the bed from a side of the pedestal opposite from the proximal end of the strap. The finger extends outwardly of a plane defined by a surface of the bed.
- In another aspect of a form of a self-centering cable strap a main body defines a bed outer surface; a cinch strap is connected to the main body at a fixed proximal end of the cinch strap and selectively securable to the main body along a length of the cinch strap including a distal end; and an abutment extends laterally and axially from the bed outer surface along a side of the bed opposite the fixed proximal end of the cinch strap.
- In still another aspect of a form of a self-centering cable strap a body includes a mounting feature at one end thereof and a bed having an outer surface at an opposite end thereof, the outer surface configured for engaging an item held there against. A strap receiving aperture is defined in the body between the mounting feature and the outer surface. A cinch strap has a proximal end fixedly connected to the body and has and a distal end. The cinch strap is elongated and flexible for forming a loop with the distal end inserted into the strap receiving aperture. An abutment finger extends away from the bed laterally and axially from the outer surface on an opposite side of the bed from the proximal end connected to the body.
- An advantage of a self-centering cable strap in at least one form is that a centered and aligned assembly is provided for the cable strap anchoring feature in an anchoring hole and a cable or bundle of cables held by the self-centering strap.
- Another advantage of a self-centering cable strap in at least one form is that a clamp requires consistent and controllable closing force for locking.
- Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the following detailed description, claims and drawings in which like numerals are used to designate like features.

It should be understood that, although self-centeringcable strap 110 is shown holding threecables cable strap 110 can hold more or fewer items 116 of the same size or of different sizes, and can hold wires, tubes, hoses or items other than cables 116 a-c shown.Main body 112 andcinch strap 114 are similar tomain body 12 and acinch strap 14 described previously herein with respect to self-centeringcable strap 10, except for the features to be described subsequently herein relating to a mountingfeature 120 of self-centeringcable strap 110. Accordingly, apedestal 122, abed 124 having anouter surface 126 are provided similar to mountingpedestal 22,bed 24 andouter surface 26 described previously. Astrap receiving aperture 130 is similar tostrap receiving aperture 30.Cinch strap 114 has a strapproximal end 132 and a strapdistal end 134 with lockingfeatures 136, a cinch strapcentral segment 138bumpers gripping ridges 144 similar to strapproximal end 32, strapdistal end 34,central segment 38,bumpers ridges 44 described previously herein with respect to self-centeringcable strap 10.Abutment fingers abutment fingers - Mounting
feature 120 is a clamp-like device for capturing astructure 170 which may be a rod, pipe, hose, structural member or other body for holding self-centeringcable strap 110. Mountingfeature 120 includes abase 172 and acover 174 connected one to another by ahinge 176.Hinge 176 is a thinned, flexible region ofmaterial interconnecting base 172 and cover 174, allowing relative rotation and movement betweenbase 172 and cover 174 between closed and opened conditions shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , respectively. An outer edge ofcover 174opposite hinge 176 defines alatch 178 for engagingbase 172 and holding the relative positions ofbase 172 and cover 174 in the closed condition. To provide a consistent and controlled required latching force oflatch 178 tobase 172, aflexible spring connection 180 is defined betweenlatch 178 andcover 174. Accordingly, deflection incover 174 or deflection inlatch 178 is not required to engagelatch 178 withbase 172. Instead, the force required for latching is determined and controlled by the deflection ofspring connection 180. As shown inFIG. 7 , latch 178 can be deflected slightly, as indicated by the dashed outline oflatch 178, through the flexure ofspring connection 180. The force required to engagelatch 178 withbase 172 is determined by the stiffness ofspring connection 180, with can be increased or decreased in many ways, including by varying the thickness and breadth ofspring connection 180. - In the exemplary embodiments shown, self-centering cable straps 10 and 110 include mounting
