Abstract:
    A tie (11) for use in pairing together two objects. The tie (11) comprises a head (21) having an elongated channel (27) extending therethrough, a locking tang (29) within the head (21), and a strap (31) extending from the head (21). The strap (31) is approximately 30 cm in length and is formed in a ladder structure having a plurality of rungs (37). The rungs (37) of the strap (31) are sequentially engaged by the locking tang (29) when the strap (31) is inserted into and through the elongated channel (27) to form a closed loop. As the strap is further inserted through the elongated channel (27), the size of the closed loop is decreased. The tie (11) further includes a projection (49) formed on a rung (37) of the strap (31) and located approximately 26 cm from the head (21). The projection (49) protrudes upward from the rung (37) approximately 1 mm and serves as a stop to limit the minimum size of the closed loop which can be formed when the strap (31) is inserted into the head(21).
