Abstract
Abstract A wire bundling harness adapted for electrical wiring use, comprising a band to be wrapped around the wires, a buckle in which the band is inserted, and a metal slider which is slidably molded in the buckle as a molded-in part thereof to make it possible that a portion of the metal slider bites the band so that the band is prevented from being moved in the longitudinal direction of the band.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A wire bundling harness comprising a flexible band adapted to be wrapped around a bundle of elongated elements such as wires, a buckle of plastic resin material in which a looped section of said band is inserted, said band being channel-shaped having a web of predetermined thickness and a pair of upstanding flanges respectively along opposite longitudinal edges of said web, said looped section of said band in said buckle having web areas in face-to-face relation with said flanges oppositely extending, thereby presenting a H-shaped cross section, and a metal slider in said buckle, said slider being disposed transversely of said band and having an elongated opening therein parallel to said band webs and embracing said looped sections of said band in said buckle, said slider hsaving internal edge portions adjacent said opening and biting into said looped band flanges upon sliding of said slider in said buckle to lock said looped band relative to said buckle, and said metal slider having a plurlity of external barbs adapted to bite into the material of said buckle to resist retrograde movement of said slider.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
