Cable tie mount and tie for use therewith

摘要

A combination of a cable tie mount and a cable tie for forming a plurality of wires into a bundle and for mounting the bundle on a support surface. The tie includes an elongate strap and a locking head joined to one end of the strap for receiving the free end of the strap to encircle the wires. The mount has a base adapted to be secured to the support surface. The tie and mount have components comprising means for securely holding the tie to the mount prior to the locking head receiving the free end of the strap. No part of the mount is encircled with the bundle by the strap and the locking head whereby the mount, securely holding the tie, can be secured to the support surface prior to association of the wires with the tie and whereby the shape of the bundle is not distorted due to the presence of components of the mount being included with the bundle.
