Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0918021A2] A one-piece tie of plastics material comprises an elongate serrated strap 10 and a head 12 at one end of the strap 10. The tie is secured by forming the strap 10 into a primary loop 17 and passing it through an aperture 16 in the head. An L-shaped projection 18, disposed on the outer end wall 14 of the head 12, defines a passageway for receiving the length of strap 10 that is passed through the head aperture 16, when that portion of the strap 10 is further formed into a secondary loop 24, the passageway extending generally perpendicular to the head aperture 16. In use, the projecting length of strap has to be twisted about its axis before it can be engaged into the passageway lying perpendicular to the head aperture. The twist in the projecting length of strap 10 therefore exposes more of the unserrated side of the strap 10 around the secondary loop 24. Thus, any indicia 25 printed or otherwise marked on the strap 10 can easily be seen. <IMAGE>
