<p>A tie comprising a head 10, a locking member 12 captively mounted in the head, an elongate flexible strap 11 attached to the head and having a free end arranged to be secured by the locking member and having an approachment formation to guide the free end to pass the locking member in a predetermined manner. The tie forms a loop for holding cables etc. The approachment formation may be a tapering guide channel or slot in the longitudinal direction of the strap to form two tongues (figure 5) and may cooperate with the locking member at various engagement heights and depths to deflect the strap past the bottom of the locking member if misaligned to provide smooth and easy tightening of the tie. The locking member may be a ball or roller. The tie may be metal e.g. stainless steel. The head may be formed with an opening 19, through which the ball is inserted. The tie may be attached to the head by a loop section 24 having two engaging barbs 22, 23, and this may close the opening 19.</p> |
