ABSTRACT:
A releasable cable tie for forming a plurality of elongate objects such as wires into a bundle. The tie includes an elongate strap and a locking head which has strap entry and exit faces, a strap-receiving aperture extending between the faces and having a predetermined strap pass path therethrough, and a locking pawl extending into the aperture and toward the strap exit face for holding the strap. The pawl is movable between a release position wherein it is adjacent the strap exit face and disposed outside the strap pass path and an engagement position wherein the pawl is disposed adjacent the strap entry face and securely holds the strap. The cable tie further includes a fulcrum extending toward the strap exit face and a release arm extending from the pawl comprising a generally rigid lever and a generally flexible hinge joining the lever to the pawl. A portion of the lever adjacent the hinge is engagable with the fulcrum when the pawl is in its engagement position whereby the operator by applying force to the distal end of the lever is provided with a mechanical advantage thereby facilitating movement of the pawl to its release position.
