Metal banding tie

摘要

A metal banding tie arranged to be fastened with a tool comprises a head (30) and a elongate flexible strap (40). A passage (32) extends across the head (30) for receiving the strap (40) when the latter is formed into a loop about the object(s) to be tied and its outer end inserted into the passage (32) from a first end to a second end. A pair of upstanding tabs (36) on opposite sides of the passage (32) converge, so that they can easily be folded in by the tool to secure the strap (40), because their outer ends are already angled in the direction in which they have to be folded by the tool. <IMAGE>
