Abstract
A one-piece synthetic plastic tie, for tying around a bundle of cables or the like and for securing the bundle to a panel, comprises a flexible elongate strap provided with a series of ratchet serrations (on its side lying against the bundle of cables) engaging with complementary teeth formed on a head at one end of the strap. In use, the free end of the strap is passed through a hole in the panel, around the cable bundle and back through the hole. When the free end of the strap is pulled tight, the head is pulled into the hole to wedge the strap against the periphery of the hole, the head teeth engaging the strap serrations to prevent withdrawal.
