ABSTRACT:
A tie provides for the bundling of one or more articles. A deformable tie has an elongate strap including an elongate tail at one end and a locking head at the other end. The locking head includes a pair of holding tabs defining a passageway therethrough and slot spaced from the holding tabs having a raised wall. The tie is placed about the articles to be bundled. The tail is inserted through the passageway of the holding tabs in a first direction. The tail is then passed through the slot in the first direction. The tail is bent around the raised slot wall so as to extend in a second direction opposite the first direction. The tail is then passed through the passageway of the holding tab in the second direction and the tail is bent around the holding tab so as to extend back in the first direction.
