ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a releasable and reusable tie strap for bundling a group of wires together. A plastic tie strap has a clip head attached to the strap. The clip head has a hinged cover which can be releasably closed over the strap. The clip head has a ratchet tooth which engages ribs on the strap. The hinged cover is closed over the strap to cause the ratchet tooth to engage the ribs. The strap may then be drawn through the clip head to achieve the desired tightness around the object it is tying. The ratchet tooth prevents withdrawal of the strap from the clip head until the hinged cover is opened. Thus, the device may be opened and reused. Alternate embodiments utilize pins in lieu of the hinged cover.
