ABSTRACT:
A one piece cable tie for forming a plurality of objects such as cables into a bundle. The cable tie includes in one embodiment an elongated flexible strap having a top planar surface, a bottom planar surface, a first end and a second end. The strap further includes a plurality of raised cross-members spaced along its length, each cross-member being in the shape of a ratchet tooth. A locking head is integrally formed to the first end of the strap. The locking head has a top surface and a bottom surface and includes a strap accepting channel having an inner end wall and an outer end wall. The outer end wall is shaped to include an angled locking face for engaging with one of the raised cross-members. In use, after the second end of the strap has been inserted through the strap accepting channel and drawn tight around a bundle and the insertion force is thereafter relaxed, the stored pressure of the bundle by virtue of its configuration pivots the strap causing one of the raised cross-members to abut against the angled locking face to lock the strap in place.
