ABSTRACT:
A locator tie for attaching an element, such as a bundle of electrical wires, to a thin wall having an aperture. The locator tie comprises of a cable tie (11) capable of surrounding and engaging the element and an arrowhead connector (12) connected to the cable tie, the arrowhead connector being adapted so that it is easily inserted into the aperture but removed from the aperture only with great difficulty.
The arrowhead connector (12) has an arrowhead (34) consisting of two blades (35 and 36) and a hinge (37) connecting the two blades. The arrowhead is supported on a support structure (31) and is connected to the cable tie in such a way that insertion force is minimized, extraction force is maximized, and stress-induced failure of the support structure is minimized.
The structure includes two arms (51 and 52) which engage the blades of the arrowhead and two legs (54 and 55) which connect to a split connector on the cable tie.
