ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a substantially permanent, fixed-circumference, non-abrasive binding device for gathering and binding plural articles, including a locking head, a tail, and an elongate strap therebetween. The head and tail ends include cooperative locking means for securing the tail end in the locking head. The tail end includes outwardly projecting tail barbs to facilitate pulling the tail end through the locking head, and subsequently to facilitate engagement of locking barbs located on the end of the strap with barb stops located in the head. A score line is preformed across the tail end at a point between the locking barbs and the tail end, to provide for a break-any tail which can be removed after engagement of the locking barbs with the barb stops in the head. Upon engagement of the locking barbs with the barb stops, the score line is at a position slightly inside of the locking head so that no sharp or abrasive edge will be exposed after the tail end is broken off.
