Bundling strap
Abstract
Abstract A PLASTIC BUNDLING STRAP IS FORMED BY MAKING AN INTEGRAL PLASTIC CASTING INCLUDING A HEAD AND A RATCHETED STRAP. THE STRAP IS INSERTED INTO A LOCKING SLOT IN THE HEAD AND IS LOCKED BY A PAWL AGAINST RELEASE. THE PAWL IS INTEGRAL WITH THE HEAD AND FLEXES TO ALLOW INSERTION OF THE STRAP INTO THE LOCKING SLOT, AFTER WHICH THE PAWL LOCKS THE STRAP WITHIN THE SLOT AGAINST REVERSE MOVEMENT. A STOP SURFACE FOR THE PAWL IS FORMED BETWEEN THE PAWL AND THE HEAD BY USING AN ANGULARLY MOVING CORE TO FORM A NARROW SEPARATING SLOT BETWEEN THE PAWL AND THE HEAD. THIS SEPA- RATING SLOT ALLOWS FLEXING OF THE PAWL WHEN THE STRAP IS INSERTED INTO THE LOCKING SLOT, BUT LIMITS FLEXING IN A REVERSE DIRECTION THROUGH THE SURFACES THEREOF ACTING AS A STOP. THE SURFACES ARE AT THAT ANGLE TO THE PAWL AND THE STRAP AND THE LOCKING SLOT WHEREBY TO ACCEPT PERPENDICULARLY THEREOF THE FORCES EXERTED BY THE PAWL DEVELOPED BY ATTEMPTED RELEASE MOVEMENT OF THE STRAP.
