Abstract

A tie locking device includes a main body and a rotatable press cover. The main body includes a fixing section and at least one wall connected with the fixing section. The press cover has a pivoted end pivotally connected with a pivoted section of the main body. The pivoted end of the press cover and the pivoted section of the main body together define an inlet for a tie to enter the main body. A valve board is disposed on the main body and movable within the main body between a first position distal from the inlet and a second position proximal to the inlet. The valve board is formed with a toothed section. After the valve board is moved to the second position, the toothed section bites the tie and the press cover is pressed onto the main body to fix the valve board and the tie.

Claims

1. A tie locking device comprising:

a main body; and

a rotatable press cover, the main body including a fixing section and at least one wall connected with the fixing section, the press cover having a pivoted end pivotally connected with a pivoted section of the main body, the pivoted end of the press cover and the pivoted section of the main body together defining an inlet, a valve board being disposed on the main body and movable within the main body between a first position and a second position, whereby after the valve board is moved to the second position, the press cover can be pressed onto the main body to fix the valve board;

wherein the fixing section of the main body is formed with a cavity and an opening in communication with the cavity, one end of a tie being fixed in the cavity, the tie extending out from the opening and going into the main body from the inlet, a rail being disposed on said at least one wall for mounting the valve board, the valve board being movable along the rail between the first position and the second position; and

wherein said at least one wall of the main body is formed with a recess, the valve board being a board body, having a roughened push face, a toothed section formed under a bottom face of the valve board and support sections formed at two ends of the valve board, one of the support sections being mounted into the rail through the recess, a push angle being contained between the push face and a moving path from the first position to the second position.

2. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the press cover is equipped with a lock head and a lock plate controlled by the lock head to lock or unlock, the press cover having at least one arm positioned between the lock head and the pivoted end, said at least one arm having the form of a finger and protruding from the press cover, said at least one arm having a free end.

3. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a restriction section is disposed on the main body in the form of a plate, the restriction section being connected with said at least one wall, an outlet being defined between the restriction section and the fixing section.

4. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 2, wherein a restriction section is disposed on the main body in the form of a plate, the restriction section being connected with said at least one wall, an outlet being defined between the restriction section and the fixing section.

5. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body is assembled on a seat, the seat having:

a head section corresponding to the main body for at least partially enclosing the fixing section of the main body;

an opening formed on the head section corresponding to the opening of the main body; and

sidewalls formed on two sides of the seat for at least partially enclosing said at least one wall of the main body.

6. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the main body is assembled on a seat, the seat having:

a head section corresponding to the main body for at least partially enclosing the fixing section of the main body;

an opening formed on the head section corresponding to the opening of the main body; and

sidewalls formed on two sides of the seat for at least partially enclosing said at least one wall of the main body.

7. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the main body is assembled on a seat, the seat having:

a head section corresponding to the main body for at least partially enclosing the fixing section of the main body;

an opening formed on the head section corresponding to the opening of the main body; and

sidewalls formed on two sides of the seat for at least partially enclosing said at least one wall of the main body.

8. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 4, wherein when the valve board is positioned in the second position of the main body, the toothed section of the valve board bites the tie, the press cover being pressed down, whereby said at least one arm hinders the valve board from moving to the first position and the free end of said at least one arm also bites the tie and the lock plate is moved into the restriction section to lock the press cover.

9. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 7, wherein when the valve board is positioned in the second position of the main body, the toothed section of the valve board bites the tie, the press cover being pressed down, whereby said at least one arm hinders the valve board from moving to the first position and the free end of said at least one arm also bites the tie and the lock plate is moved into the restriction section to lock the press cover.

10. A tie locking device comprising:

a main body; and

a rotatable press cover, the main body including a fixing section and at least one wall connected with the fixing section, the press cover having a pivoted end pivotally connected with a pivoted section of the main body, the pivoted end of the press cover and the pivoted section of the main body together defining an inlet, a valve board being disposed on the main body and movable within the main body between a first position and a second position, whereby after the valve board is moved to the second position, the press cover can be pressed onto the main body to fix the valve board;

wherein the press cover is equipped with a lock head and a lock plate controlled by the lock head to lock or unlock, the press cover having at least one arm positioned between the lock head and the pivoted end, said at least one arm having the form of a finger and protruding from the press cover, said at least one arm having a free end.

11. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the fixing section of the main body is formed with a cavity and an opening in communication with the cavity, one end of a tie being fixed in the cavity, the tie extending out from the opening and going into the main body from the inlet, a rail being disposed on said at least one wall for mounting the valve board, the valve board being movable along the rail between the first position and the second position.

12. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 10, wherein a restriction section is disposed on the main body in the form of a plate, the restriction section being connected with said at least one wall, an outlet being defined between the restriction section and the fixing section.

13. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 11, wherein a restriction section is disposed on the main body in the form of a plate, the restriction section being connected with said at least one wall, an outlet being defined between the restriction section and the fixing section.

14. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the main body is assembled on a seat, the seat having:

a head section corresponding to the main body for at least partially enclosing the fixing section of the main body;

an opening formed on the head section corresponding to the opening of the main body; and

sidewalls formed on two sides of the seat for at least partially enclosing said at least one wall of the main body.

15. The tie locking device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the main body is assembled on a seat, the seat having:

a head section corresponding to the main body for at least partially enclosing the fixing section of the main body;

an opening formed on the head section corresponding to the opening of the main body; and

sidewalls formed on two sides of the seat for at least partially enclosing said at least one wall of the main body.
