Abstract
A coil toop type cable tie of one-piece molded plastic construction having a flexible strap and a fastening head at one end thereof. The fastening has a passageway running parallel to the strap and a hinged pawl extending into the passageway and having at least one tooth adapted to mesh with ratchet teeth on one side of the strap. The hinged pawl is connected to the fastening head by hinge which defines the closed end of a notch separating the hinged pawl from the rest of the fastening head. The notch opens onto a surface of the hinged pawl opposite to the surface on which its tooth or teeth are formed and preferably angles from its closed end to its open end generally toward the strap.
