<p>A cable tie includes an elongate generally planar strap (16) and a head (12). The head includes a tapering entrance into a passageway (22) therethrough for inserting the strap and a flexibly hinged locking pawl (28) adjacent the passageway. The head also includes a fixed locking tooth (160) adjacent the entry end of the passageway for engaging the strap after fully securing an article or articles to be bundled. The fixed locking tooth of the present invention is desirably positioned to allow unobstructed insertion of the tail through the head. The present invention is able to minimize the stretching of the strap body when adjacent to the locking pawl by providing an edge (50) which frictionally engages the strap body as the strap body egresses from the passageway of the head.</p> |
