ABSTRACT:
A cable tie that includes an elongated tongue with two ends and two broad sides, a locking head at one end of the tongue, a tip at the other end of the tongue, and a set of ratchet teeth extending along one broad side of the tongue, wherein the locking head has sides defining an opening for receiving the tip of the tongue, the sides including a movable pawl that is hinged at one side of the opening and an abutment surface that is at least in part directly opposite across the opening from the pawl, and wherein the pawl has at least one pawl tooth disposed for engaging the set of ratchet teeth when the tip of the tongue has been inserted through the opening with the set of ratchet teeth facing the pawl, is injection molded by a method including the steps of (a) providing a mold that includes mold parts defining a cavity in the general shape of the tie, wherein one of the mold parts includes a core section defining a surface of the pawl that includes the at least one pawl tooth and at least a part of the abutment surface that is directly opposite the at least one pawl tooth; (b) injecting molten plastic material into the mold cavity; (c) solidifying the plastic material in the mold cavity to form the tie; and (d) ejecting the solidified tie from the mold; wherein step (a) includes providing a said mold in which the core section further defines a notch in the part of the abutment surface that is directly opposite the at least one pawl tooth.
