A storable fixing band structure having a retaining ring and a band body is provided. By a design of fixing areas of the band body, the mentioned storable fixing band structure can be perfectly stored without other tools when the storable fixing band structure is not in use.

This invention relates to a protective buffer strap (10). More specifically, the invention relates to a protective buffer strap (10) capable of being strapped onto one or more articles (100, 200) to be closely restrained, thereby to prevent such articles (100, 200) from rubbing up against one another and causing damage, especially to surface finishes. The protective buffer strap (10) includes a strap (32) and an elongate body (12) from which the strap (32) extends, the elongate body (12) having a spine (26) and a plurality of projections (28) graduating lengths extending from the spine (26). The protective buffer strap (10) is configurable between an unwound condition and a wound condition. In the unwound condition, free ends (28A) of the projections (28) are spaced from one another along the spine (26). In the wound condition, the elongate body (12) and/or strap (32) is deformed into a closed loop form with the free ends (28A) of the protections (28) jointly defining at least a portion of a bore (36) for receiving a first article (100) therein, which bore (36) is eccentric relative to the closed loop form. Furthermore, in the wound condition, the strap (32) extends about the closed loop form and/or the closed loop form and a second article (200) receivable between the strap (32) and the spine (26) thereby to retain the protective buffer in the wound condition such that in use, the distance between the first article (100) received within the bore (36) and the second article (200) is variable by rotting the closed loop form about the first article (100).

A reinforced cable tie generally includes an elongate strap having a first end, a second end and an elongate planar strap body therebetween, a head having an upstanding central wall separating a first and a second elongate parallel passageway through the head for respective receipt of the first and second ends of said strap, a locking device supported in the head for retaining the first and second ends of the strap and a continuous reinforcement disposed in and extending substantially continuously along a path defining the strap. In a method for forming a cable tie, a continuous reinforcing strand is co-extruded within an elongate strap and a head is assembled to the strap.

A rope fixture 11 fixes a closing rope 12 for binding a bag opening of a flexible container bag 20A as a bag body, and includes a plate-shaped body in which a through-hole and a slit are formed, wherein a through-hole 13 allows the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and a slit 14 nips and locks the closing rope 12 and has an insertion opening 17 provided at one end located at a lateral side of the plate-shaped body 15 and has a rope locking portion 18 allowing the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and locks the closing rope 12 provided at the other end.

An apparatus designed to bundle a plurality of objects. The apparatus includes a buckle with a body and a cavity formed therein. The body has a first end with an opening and a second end with a strap passageway therethrough. The buckle also includes a metal strip retained in the cavity of the body. The metal strip has a first end with a first barb and a second end with a second barb. The first barb of the metal strip is positioned at the first end of the body and the second barb of the metal strip is positioned at the second end of the body. A strap is secured to the buckle body by the barbs extending from the metal strip. The strap secures the plurality of objects to the buckle.

There is provided an adjustable fastening device configured to engage a support to provide a tether for the attachment of a tensioned line. The adjustable fastening device includes a plate, and an adjustable collar configured to extend around the support and securely engage with the plate in operation. There is also provided a tensioning mechanism configured to seat against the support and extend in length to drive the support and the plate apart in operation when the plate is securely engaged with the collar. In this way the plate is moved away from the support to thereby securely engage the collar against the support on an opposed side of the support from the tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism includes a rigidly connected foot. The foot includes a surface configured for engaging with the support in operation and preventing the tensioning mechanism being unseated from the support by tension in the collar acting in a direction perpendicularly to the direction of elongation of the tensioning mechanism.
