ABSTRACT:
A flexible branching strip for a wire bundle comprises a pair of preferably flat elongate interlocking members selectively spaced from one another and joined together at discrete intervals by flexible web portions. One of the members contains a series of open wire receiving slots interposed between respective tongue portions which are interlockingly engageable within a series of transverse openings in the other member. Selected wires of a wire bundle may be branched out of the bundle and disposed within respective wire receiving slots, and the strip curled about the branched bundle so that the members may be interlocked to one another with the web portions operating as spaced bundle ties about the unbranched portion of the wire bundle. The branching strip may be temporarily supported in a slotted strip support attachable to a wiring board for convenient orientation of the wire receiving slots during the branching operation. Also disclosed is a tool having a preformed bifurcated first end arranged to effect sequential closure of the strip by being selectively drawn across the overlapping members.
