ABSTRACT:
A plastic fastener comprising a body having two members that define an upper face and a lower face, means for securing the fastener to a workpiece, and means for adjustably securing the strap to the fastener. The adjustably securing means comprises first and second cross-members fixed between and connecting the side members, the first cross-member overlapping the second cross-member to define a strap channel which forms an acute angle with the bottom surface of the second cross-member. A method for molding such a fastener comprises introducing molten plastic into a mold to form a body at an angle to the horizontal having two side members that define an upper face and a lower face, first and second cross-members fixed between and connecting said side members, the first cross-member being horizontally offset from the second cross-member in the mold and the first cross-member overlapping over the second cross-member with respect to the body bottom surface to define a strap channel which forms an acute angle with the underside of the second cross-member, and at least one transverse bar disposed between and connecting the side members.
