ABSTRACT:
A ball/roller-lock cable tie for holding an article or group of articles together in a bundle including a elongate strap body capable of being deformed to encompass the article or group of articles; a locking head disposed adjacent one end of the strap body for receiving a second end of the strap body; and a ball or cylindrical pin, positioned within the locking head, for lockingly engaging the second end of the strap body. The tie further includes a strap body extension attached to and extending from the locking head such that the extension is sandwiched between the article or articles being bundled and the second end of the strap body upon insertion into the locking head. The extension includes a beam spring assembly for supplying a reactive force necessary to substantially prevent retrograde movement of the second end of the strap body within the locking head thereby maintaining locking of the second end of the strap body within the locking head and for enhancing the clenching of the strap body around the article or group of articles being bundled.
