ABSTRACT:
A wraparound clamping device for binding together a bundle of elongated parts, e.g. cables, which includes a band section formed substantially into a circle so that butt end surfaces of the band section are opposed to one another. A tongue is formed on one butt end surface and a groove is formed on the other butt end surface creating a strong snap fit. An end band extending tangentially from the circular band section near the butt end with the groove overlaps an end band extending from the other butt end. The circular band section forms a complete ring when the tongue is snapped into the groove. The bundle is enclosed within the circular band section. When the overlapping end bands are secured together and the circular band section is heat shrunk, the circular band tightens the bind around the bundle, the groove is squeeze onto the tongue so as to strengthen the joint of tongue and groove.
