Flat strap structure

Abstract

A flat strap structure including at least one metal reinforcing wire and a strap made of plastic material by molding. The metal reinforcing wire is integrally embedded in the plastic strap. The metal reinforcing wire is formed of flexible metal wire or steel cable or is composed of electrically conductive wires enclosed by a layer of cable. The metal reinforcing wire serves to enhance the shear strength and tension strength of the flat strap to ensure safety in use of the flat strap. In addition, the electrically conductive wires can conduct current to transmit electric signal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is related to a flat strap with a reinforcing structure. Several metal reinforcing wires are longitudinally integrally embedded in a plastic strap of the flat strap. The metal reinforcing wires serve to enhance the shear strength and tension strength of the flat strap to enhance durability thereof and ensure safety in use of the flat strap. In addition, electrically conductive wires can be enclosed in the metal reinforcing wires to conduct current. [0002] There are various binding straps applicable to various fields. For example, a common binding strap is used to tie cargoes for facilitating transfer thereof. A ski strap is used to bind the ski on a user's foot. Also, a binding strap is often used to tie a large-size package or a trunk to secure the transfer thereof and avoid unexpected opening of the package or trunk. The conventional binding strap is integrally made of plastic material or formed of slender threads by weaving...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved flat strap structure including at least one metal reinforcing wire and a strap made of plastic material by molding. The metal reinforcing wire is integrally embedded in the plastic strap. The metal reinforcing wire is formed of flexible steel strings with excellent strength so that the shear strength and tension strength of the flat strap are enhanced.

[0005] It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above flat strap structure in which the metal reinforcing wire can be composed of multiple electrically conductive wires enclosed by a layer of cable. Therefore, the flat strap can also conduct current and transmit electric signal to widen the application field of the flat strap.

Problems solved by technology

Such strap has sufficient tension strength, while having insufficient shear strength.

Moreover, the fiber-made or plastic-made binding strap can simply provide binding or tying effect, while lacking electric signal transmission function.

This limits the application of the strap product.
