ABSTRACT:
A tie for forming a plurality of elongate objects into a bundle and for holding a pair of objects together. The tie of the present invention comprises an elongate strap, a locking head joined to one end of the strap for receiving the other end of the strap and roller means disposed entirely within the locking head for lockingly engaging the strap. The head includes a strap entry face, a strap exit face and a strap-receiving aperture extending therebetween and further includes a floor and a roof which diverge in the direction of the exit face. The locking head also has retention means for retaining the roller means inside the head. The roller means is movable between a threading position wherein it is disposed adjacent the exit face and a locking position wherein it is closer the entry face and concurrently engages the roof and the strap to wedge the strap so that threading of the strap moves the roller means towards its threaded position and release of the tensioned strap causes the roller means to move toward its locking position to retain the strap in the locking head.
