Abstract
An adjustable length strip fastener is disclosed which comprises a strip of semi-rigid plastic. A plurality of uniformly and longitudinally spaced and aligned openings are defined in the strip. The openings are disposed over the entire length of the strip and are centrally disposed between the longitudinal edges of it. A longitudinally extending narrow groove is also defined in one of the surfaces of the strip. The groove is centrally disposed between the longitudinal edges of the strip and extends continuously from one end thereof to the other except at the openings. As a result, the narrow groove forms a hinge along which the strip may be folded. In use, one end of the strip can be folded along the hinge and passed through one of the openings adjacent the other end of the strip to form a loop which can be locked. Alternatively, the hinge may be formed by a plurality of small apertures cut through the strip.
