Tie with locking head.

摘要

A tie for forming a plurality of elongate objects (58) into a bundle and for holding two objects together. The tie includes an elongate strap (22) having a plurality of spaced abutments (36) therealong and a metal locking head (24) jointed to one end of the strap (22). The locking head (24) comprises a floor (26) with a strap-receiving aperture (28) therethrough and a locking tongue (30) for engaging one of the abutments (36). The tongue (30) and floor (26) are joined by a resilient neck (32) from which the tongue (30) extends toward the floor (26) to at least partially overlie the aperture (28). Threading of the strap (22) causes the tongue (30) to deflect away from the floor (26) and the tongue (30) lockingly engages one of the abutments (36) upon attempted retrograde movement of the strap (22).
