Abstract
Abstract A tie device comprising a strap having an integral buckle or securing catch at one end by means of which the opposite end of the strap may be secured so that the strap forms a closed loop, the buckle including a pawl flexibly joined to the strap and arranged to co-operate with serrations formed at the free end of the strap to lock such free end in a guideway against withdrawal once such free end has been inserted into the buckle or securing catch.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A tie device comprising an elongate strip which is transversely serrated on one surface over at least part of the length of the strip towards one end thereof and has a pawl disposed within an opening at the other end thereof and joined, at opposite ends, to the main body of the strip by flexible webs integral with such body and with said pawl, said pawl being transversely serrated on the surface therof corresponding to said one surface at the other end of the strip, said strip further being formed with a quideway extending over said opening and pawl to receive the serrated end of the strip, said webs permitting yielding movement of said pawl to allow the serrated end of the strip to pass into the guideway and the serrations thereon to engage with the serrations on said pawl, and said serrations being so shaped that movement of the serrated end of the strip in a direction to withdraw such end from said quideway results in a jamming together of the pawl and serrated strip end within the confines of said quideway thereby resisting withdrawal of said end from the guideway.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A tie device comprising an elongate strip which is transversely serrated on one surface over at least part of the length of the strip towards one end thereof and has a pawl disposed within an opening at the other end thereof and joined, at opposite ends, to the main body of the strip by flexible webs integral with such body and with said pawl, said pawl being transversely serrated on the surface therof corresponding to said one surface at the other end of the strip, said strip further being formed with a quideway extending over said opening and pawl to receive the serrated end of the strip, said webs permitting yielding movement of said pawl to allow the serrated end of the strip to pass into the guideway and the serrations thereon to engage with the serrations on said pawl, and said serrations being so shaped that movement of the serrated end of the strip in a direction to withdraw such end from said quideway results in a jamming together of the pawl and serrated strip end within the confines of said quideway thereby resisting withdrawal of said end from the guideway.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
192 words
A tie device comprising an elongate strip which is transversely serrated on one surface over at least part of the length of the strip towards one end thereof and has a pawl disposed within an opening at the other end thereof and joined, at opposite ends, to the main body of the strip by flexible webs integral with such body and with said pawl, said pawl being transversely serrated on the surface therof corresponding to said one surface at the other end of the strip, said strip further being formed with a quideway extending over said opening and pawl to receive the serrated end of the strip, said webs permitting yielding movement of said pawl to allow the serrated end of the strip to pass into the guideway and the serrations thereon to engage with the serrations on said pawl, and said serrations being so shaped that movement of the serrated end of the strip in a direction to withdraw such end from said quideway results in a jamming together of the pawl and serrated strip end within the confines of said quideway thereby resisting withdrawal of said end from the guideway.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
192 words
A tie device comprising an elongate strip which is transversely serrated on one surface over at least part of the length of the strip towards one end thereof and has a pawl disposed within an opening at the other end thereof and joined, at opposite ends, to the main body of the strip by flexible webs integral with such body and with said pawl, said pawl being transversely serrated on the surface therof corresponding to said one surface at the other end of the strip, said strip further being formed with a quideway extending over said opening and pawl to receive the serrated end of the strip, said webs permitting yielding movement of said pawl to allow the serrated end of the strip to pass into the guideway and the serrations thereon to engage with the serrations on said pawl, and said serrations being so shaped that movement of the serrated end of the strip in a direction to withdraw such end from said quideway results in a jamming together of the pawl and serrated strip end within the confines of said quideway thereby resisting withdrawal of said end from the guideway.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A tie device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the strip, the pawl, the webs and the guideway are formed integrally.
