The strap (28) has a first end (26) and a second end (30) opposite the first end (26). The head (24) is secured to the first end (26) of the strap (28) for receiving the second end (30) of the strap (28). The head (24) comprises a strap entry face (48), a strap exit face (50), and a strap-receiving aperture (52) extending therebetween. The head (24) also comprises a floor (54) and a roof (40) which diverge in the direction of the exit face (50).
