Multi-Positional Closure Fastener

摘要

A multi-positional closure fastener includes a plurality of receivers that orient at different relative angles and elevations. The receivers include tapered sidewalls that enable rotational motion between adjacent receivers. This multi-positional disposition of adjacent receivers facilitates the reception by the receivers of zip tie-styled straps from multiple angles, elevations, and directions. This is because there are greater possibilities of proximity between the straps and the receivers due to the multiple possible orientations and flexible movement of the receivers. This proximal positioning creates a more aligned, linear connection between corresponding receivers and straps; thus resulting in reduced stress on the straps. Each receiver comprises a housing having an opening. The openings are where the insertion tab from the straps are inserted and fastened into place. A fastening mechanism in the opening of the housing locks with an insertion tab from the strap to form the fastened closure.

主权项

1. A multi-positional closure fastener for fastening a plurality of multi-directional straps, the fastener comprises:
a plurality of receivers, the plurality of receivers disposed adjacently to each other, each receiver defined by a housing and an opening, the housing for each receiver oriented in a different plane than an adjacent housing, the housing for each receiver having at least one tapered sidewall, the opening for each receiver oriented at a different angle than an adjacent opening, wherein the tapered sidewall enables rotational motion between adjacent housings; and a fastening mechanism, the fastening mechanism disposed to position within the opening of each receiver, the fastening mechanism configured to enable fastening.
