Abstract
An integral one-piece cable tie including an elongated flexible strap having a row of teeth thereon, a frame integral with one end of the strap and having an abutment wall and an entry surface and an exit surface and a strap-receiving opening extending therethrough, a pawl pivotally mounted by a hinge within the opening and having a set of teeth thereon shaped complementary to the row of teeth, wedging surfaces on the facing portions of the frame and the pawl, the thickness of the hinge being less than the thickness of the strap so as to accommodate sliding movement of the pawl toward the entry surface with the wedging surfaces in contact, thereby to move the set of teeth toward the abutment wall to grip the strap therebetween.
