Abstract
Abstract A miniaturized harnessing device formed by a locking head and an attached serrated strap. The head contains a guide channel for receiving the strap after encirclement of the items to be harnessed, and an internal locking tang. The end of the strap before the regular serrations has a serrated ramp, the length of which is longer than the interval between regular serrations, to ease the insertion of the strap into a small-scale harnessing device.
