Abstract

A device in a cable tie is disclosed. The device includes an elongate band part of a certain width and thickness, which at one end has an elongate insertion narrower than the band part and terminates in a grip tab, and at its other end has a locking head. The locking head has, on the one hand, a through-opening which is intended for the band part and has substantially the same width as the band part but a height greater than the thickness of the band part and, on the other hand, a slot-shaped recess in one transverse wall of the opening, the width of which recess is such that it will allow the insertion part to be inserted into the opening via the recess, forming a band loop. On the band part there is toothing and in the locking head a locking tongue provided with toothing, which are designed, by way of a positive interlock, to lock the band part in relation to the locking head. In the area around the connection of the insertion part to the grip tab, there are wing-like projections extending transversely and out from the insertion part, which are thinner than the grip tab and which towards the latter terminate in a ridge. In forming the band loop, the ridge is designed, with the projections inserted into the through-opening of the locking head and engaging with the opposing walls of the opening, to abut the locking head. The fact that the projections are of thinner than the grip tab creates a clearance interval between the insertion part and the locking tongue.
