ABSTRACT:
A tie strap device is in the form of an elongated body of substantially yieldably resilient deformable and reformable material. The elongated body includes a strap and a locking head. The strap has opposite longitudinal surfaces and opposite ends. The locking head is formed at one end of the strap while the other end of the strap is free. The locking head defines a cavity therethrough having an interior surface. The locking head has portions which are connected together and define a line of weakness in the locking head in communication with the cavity. The line of weakness allows for separation of the portions from one another and forcible removal of the strap from the cavity in response to a pulling force applied by the strap on the locking head at the line of weakness. The elongated body also has retention elements defined on the interior surface of the locking head and on one of the opposite longitudinal surfaces of the strap for forming a locking engagement between the strap and locking head and thereby preventing withdrawal of the strap from the cavity in a direction opposite to a direction of insertion of the strap through the cavity.
