Method of using bundle ties produced by the use of two part bundle tie material

摘要

Continuous strip material for bundle ties comprises two identical sections. The material is ladder-like in form and each section comprises a side piece and rung parts extending from the side pieces. The rung parts are coupled by a coupling system to form the rungs and the coupling system is disengageable to permit movement of the side pieces away from each other. Ratchet type latching ears are provided on the side pieces. In use, the side pieces are moved apart at the leading end of the strip of material to permit placement of an intermediate portion of the strip between the side pieces at the leading end. The side pieces are moved back together and the intermediate portion can be tightened onto the bundle in a ratchet-like manner.
