ABSTRACT:
A cable tie with a strap guide ramp includes a strap, a locking head secured to the first end of the strap, a plurality of walls on the locking head forming a strap positioning channel, a pawl positioned within the channel and pivotally mounted to the locking head and strap guide ramp contiguous to the pawl for directing the tip of the strap during initial insertion of the strap into the channel away from the pawl and towards the strap positioning channel. The strap guide ramp prevents plastic deformation of the pawl during insertion of the tip of the strap when the tip of the strap is inadvertently directed against the pawl which enhances the reliability of the cable tie and is especially useful for cable tie formed of less resilient materials.
