A cable tie is provided with a wedge disposed within a passage extending through a head. The wedge is compressed within the passage when tension is applied to the strap. As a result, the wedge compresses the strap against an inner surface of the passage to restrain the strap.

A harness component according to one aspect of the present disclosure is an electrical connection box, and a harness fixing piece included in a housing of the electrical connection box includes a first wall portion that extends in a length direction of a wire harness, the wire harness being arranged on an inner surface of the first wall portion; a second wall portion that is arranged outside of a lower end, which is an end portion of the first wall portion in a length direction of the wire harness, and is continuous along a lower end; and a bottom portion that extends outward from the lower end of the first wall portion and supports the second wall portion away from the outer surface of the first wall portion.

A fastening system includes a ratchet head and a strap having a pair of side edges, a first side defining a base surface, and a second side having a plurality of teeth. A pair of troughs extend in a longitudinal direction and each is positioned interstitially between the plurality of teeth and a side edge. A plurality of standoffs are provided on the second side of the strap along each of the side edges, the standoffs extending from the base surface at least as far as a distal extent of the plurality of teeth. The ratchet head has a ratchet pawl operable to engage the plurality of teeth to adjustably receive and secure the strap.

A cable tie arrangement for bundling one or more elongate members, and which includes a continuous strap having a planar surface free of any racks and a separate locking head defining an opening and having a metal locking element comprising a pair of opposed teeth extending into the opening and arranged to engage the strap in the opening. In use, the strap comprises a looped section arranged to bundle one or more elongate members on a first side of the locking head, and the looped section has an end section and a supply section extending through the locking head to a second side of the locking head in a first direction. Further, the opposed teeth are arranged to engage the planar surface of the end section and the supply section to prevent movement of the end section and the supply section in a second direction opposed to the first direction and to allow movement of the supply section in the first direction, and wherein the opposed teeth extend towards one another in the opening to press the end section and the supply section together in the opening.

The present invention relates to a fastener (1) comprising a band (2) and a holding member (8). The band (2) having a first end (3) and a second end (4), and an inwardly facing surface (5) and an outwardly facing surface (6) extending therebetween. Teeth (7) are provided on the inwardly facing surface (5) and outwardly facing surface (6) at least the first (3) and second (4) ends of the band (2). A holding member (8) for holding the band (2) in a closed loop such that the holding member (8) is arranged to engage the teeth (7) provided by the inwardly facing surface (5) or the outwardly facing surface (6) at least the first end (3) of the band (2) with the teeth (7) provided by the outwardly facing surface (6) or the inwardly facing surface (5) respectively at least the second end (4) of the band (2).

Quick-adjust tensioner that exerts a braking torque on a spool. The tensioner includes a stop configured to fit onto a rod supporting the spool. The location of the stop on the rod is adjustable by the user. The stop is connected to a foot by a biasing member. The biasing member presses the foot against the spool to create a braking torque on the spool. The force of the biasing member on the foot is predetermined by adjusting the distance between the stop and the foot, thereby adjusting the foot's braking torque on the spool.

The implement includes an elongated strap and a buckle intended to interlock with the elongated strap that includes a) first end and a second end which incorporates a suspending fixture, and b) an inner and outer sides. The elongated strap incorporates in inner side a plurality of teeth alternating with a plurality of grooves. The plurality of teeth extends from the first end up to a first no teeth zone located in proximity of the second end. A group of several teeth follows after the first no teeth zone. When wrapping the elongated strap, the buckle is kept in an indented retaining portion of the elongated strap with its several teeth projecting upwardly. After an adjustment of the elongated strap is completed, the buckle is so displaced that the several teeth penetrate corresponding grooves of the multiplicity of teeth.
