Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure sleeve for interconnecting strip portions, especially of nonmetallic strips as are employed, for instance, in the tying of cable conduits, in the packing industry, etc.
  • closure sleeves made of rectangular plate sections which sleeves are notched or corrugated at the joint or connecting area. Since a notching of the strips is frequently not desirable, or is not possible for reasons of strength, for instance with synthetic strips, the fastening of the strips in such cases can only be attained by a high pressing force exerted by the closure sleeve. Therefore, comparatively long closure sleeves are required, and the equipment for working the closure sleeves must be strong and heavy.
  • FIGURE 3 is an isometric view of a sleeve section comprising a plurality of extensions and eyes;
  • FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of a closure sleeve according to the invention in which the press surfaces of the two sleeve sections are provided with teeth;
  • FIGURES 5-7 illustrate in side view a further preferred embodiment of a closure sleeve according to the invention and show the same at different phases prior to the connection of the sleeve sections, during the connecting operation of said sleeve sections, and after the sleeve sections have been connected;
  • FIGURE 8 is an isometric view of the closure sleeve according to FIGURE 7;
  • FIGURE 10 shows the device of FIGURE 9 in top view
  • the two sleeve sections are designed completely identical, it may also be expedient to design the two sleeve sections differently and in such a way that the press surfaces interengage each other in the manner of teeth.
  • the two sleeve sections .23, 24 have press surfaces provided with strong teeth 25, 26 in such a way that one tooth of one press surface faces a correspondingly formed notch of the other press surface. In this way, an especially strong connection of the strip ends 1, 2 will result.
  • a strip pressing lever 51 which is pivotable about a pivot 52 and is held in the illustrated position by means of a spring 53.
  • a pivot 54 of the lever 51 has mounted thereon a clamping wheel 55.
  • the clamping wheel 55 is movable by a clamping lever 56 which normally, under the influence of a spring 57, occupies the rest position shown in dash lines.
  • the clamping wheel 55 which can be turned only in the direction of the arrow is moved toward the right so that a gap is formed through which a strip 58 may be introduced.
  • the strip is passed through the magazine along the center line (shown in dash lines), is pulled out at the front end of the device, and is placed around the object (cables 62, 62a).
  • the end 59 of said strip is introduced at the lefthand end of the device or fastened thereto.
  • the strip 58 is tensioned, and thereupon the feeding levers 37, 38 and the closing levers 43, 44 are squeezed together until the fastening operation has been completed.
  • knives or cutting blades 60, 61 may be provided which, following the completion of the fastening operation, cut through the strip.
  • the blades 60, 61 are connected to the feeding levers 30, 31 by means of screws 65, 66. These blades 60, 61 are so mounted that their cutting edges which face each other contact each other thereby cutting through the strip sections located between the two sleeve sections of sleeve 34 as soon as the two sleeve sections have been firmly pressed together by the feeding levers 30, 31, and the strip sections are firmly pressed between them.
  • FIG. 11 shows the forward end of the device according' to the invention on an enlarged scale with the feeding levers 30, 31 shown in their final pressing position of the sleeve sections. At the same time, the two pressed together strip sections have been cut through by blades 60, 61.
  • a closure sleeve for the interconnection of strips and strip ends, especially of strips of synthetic material which comprises: two sleeve sections adapted to receive therebetween strip portions to be connected to each other, each of said sleeve sections having extension means and eye means and a roughened press surface between said eye means and said extension means, the eye means of each of said sleeve sections being adapted to receive the extension means of the other sleeve section.
  • a closure sleeve according to claim 1 said two sleeve sections each having a press surface essentially parallel to interconnection of strips and strip ends forced together due to minimal spacing between press surfaces upon insertion into corresponding eye means,
  • An apparatus for closing closure sleeves comprising two sleeve sections and adapted to interconnect strip portions, which comprises: supporting means, first lever means pivotally connected to said supporting means for moving said sleeve sections relative to each other along a first plane, and second lever means pivotally connected to said supporting means for moving said sleeve sections relative to each other along a second plane perpendicular to said first plane.
  • At least one lever means is operable to exert upon strip portions in said apparatus a force at least approximating the force necessary for firmly interconnecting said strip portions.
