Two-piece cable tie with coined locking wedge

摘要

A two-piece cable tie including a strap and a locking head forming a strap accepting channel with a metal locking wedge positioned within the channel and mounted to the locking head including a groove formed by coining on the embedded end of the metal locking wedge to increase the pull out force of the locking wedge without the need to cut out material of the locking wedge. The coined groove also avoids weakening of the flexure region and still allows for a decrease of the threading force of the cable tie strap.
