Abstract
Abstract Tie-strap comprising dual elongated body portons with holding eyelet projections at opposite ends, and a bridging member connecting side portions of the upper areas of the strap and the eyelet projections are affixed around a cable structure joined by coaxial connectors in a manner which allows the bridging member to lie taut in parallel relationship with said cable and across said connector in order to prevent separation of said connector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A flexible tie-strap for securing a transporting structure joined together by coaxial connectors from separating comprising: dual elongated body portions having holding eyelets with apertures extending transversely therethrough at one end and strap portions having a flat side and a convex side at opposite ends, said convex side including a pair of spaced, parallel narrow ribs along a major portion of its length and said flat side including spaced parallel projections extending transversely thereof to provide a gripping surface, wherein said apertures are provided with rectangular slots aligned in communication therewith whereby the strap portions are passed through said holding eyelets apertures, and end portions of said strap free of the aperture are in registry with said slots after locking means comprising a detent in the form of V-tooth rachets hold said straps in the holding eyelet against reverse movement; said straps having a bridging member connecting side portions of the upper areas of the elongated bodies and the eyelet projections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A flexible tie-strap for securing a transporting structure joined together by coaxial connectors from separating comprising: dual elongated body portions having holding eyelets with apertures extending transversely therethrough at one end and strap portions having a flat side and a convex side at opposite ends, said convex side including a pair of spaced, parallel narrow ribs along a major portion of its length and said flat side including spaced parallel projections extending transversely thereof to provide a gripping surface, wherein said apertures are provided with rectangular slots aligned in communication therewith whereby the strap portions are passed through said holding eyelets apertures, and end portions of said strap free of the aperture are in registry with said slots after locking means comprising a detent in the form of V-tooth rachets hold said straps in the holding eyelet against reverse movement; said straps having a bridging member connecting side portions of the upper areas of the elongated bodies and the eyelet projections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The tie-strap of claim 1, wherein an extension from said eyelet terminates in a circular holding boss.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
The tie-strap of claim 1, wherein the parallel projection gripping surfaces of said strap are held against reverse movement around a transporting structure joined together by coaxial connectors in a manner which allows said bridging member to be disposed tautly on parallel relationship with said structure and across said coaxial connectors to prevent separation of said connectors.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
The tie-strap of claim 2, wherein the parallel projection gripping surfaces of said straps are held against reverse movement around a transporting structure joined together by coaxial connectors in a manner which allows said bridging member to be disposed tautly in parallel relationships with said structure and across said coaxial connectors to prevent separation of said connectors.
