A rebar cover includes a shaft having a first end and a bottom end with a central bore therethrough. A bar tie is extended into the central bore through one or more openings in a sidewall of the shaft. When inserted into the central bore, a looped portion of the bar tie may loop around the rebar. The bar tie includes a ratcheting mechanism to secure the rebar to the rebar cover. The ratcheting mechanism includes a release lever to place the ratcheting mechanism in an open position, thereby allowing the bar tie to be loosened and the rebar cover removed from the rebar.

The present invention discloses a strap system for securing a payload. The strap system includes a first fastener having a connecting crosspiece, a reversing crosspiece, and a hanger capable of attaching to the payload, and all connected together on each side by lateral members. The strap system also includes a strap attached to the connecting crosspiece of the first fastener and capable of passing around the reversing crosspiece and tightening the strap around the payload.

An elastic bundle tie having an elongated strap and a tail that is inserted into a locking head. The self-locking head is located at the opposite end of the elongated strap from the tapered tail. The strap is a composite of a segmented ridged material and an elastic material. The tail is inserted through the head and the elongated strap is accepted within the head. The self-locking mechanism within the head latches onto the engagement teeth on the strap to maintain a user set position. The bundle tie that is formed has distributed elastic properties across the bundle. The distribution of the elastic properties provides a dampening effect evenly across the bundle, for all articles bundled, to protect the articles from applied force. The frictional properties of the elastic material may also limit movement for all articles in contact of the elastic material within the bundle.

A connected tie strap, including: integrated fixing tie straps or labeled tie straps, and main rib boards, wherein the main rib boards are perpendicular to the length direction of the integrated fixing tie straps or the labeled tie straps; a shunt is disposed between the fixed heads of the integrated fixing tie straps or labels of the labeled tie straps and the main rib boards; also included is an auxiliary rib board, wherein the auxiliary rib is perpendicular to the length direction of the integrated fixing tie straps or the labeled tie straps; the main rib boards and/or the auxiliary rib is further provided thereon with interval positioning holes or interval positioning post, two ends of the main rib boards and/or the auxiliary rib also being respectively provided with positioning holes and/or positioning posts.

An assembly for securing a cord in a selected compact configuration. The assembly can include a first attachment apparatus configured to connect to the cord. An elongate body can extend from the first attachment apparatus. The elongate body can be configured to be positioned to extend at least partially around the cord to at least partially secure the cord in the selected compact configuration. A second attachment apparatus can be positioned along at least a portion of the elongate body. The second attachment apparatus can be configured to connect to the first attachment apparatus to at least partially secure the elongate body at least partially about the cord in the selected compact configuration.

Techniques and apparatuses directed to improved pawl-latching devices are described in this document. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses provide pawl-latching devices with pawls structured to avoid the sinking and warping problems present in some conventional injection molding processes. In aspects, the pawl-latching devices include a pawl having at least one of a pivot member including a notch, a release feature on the pawl spaced apart from the front and sides of the pawl, a recess defined in the top of the pawl, and/or a recess defined in the bottom of the pawl.

A strap tie includes a body including a receiving channel and a strap engagement member. The receiving channel extends through the body. The receiving channel is configured to receive a remote strap. The engagement member is configured to engage a movement restriction member of the remote strap to prevent translation of the remote strap away from the body. The strap extends from the body. The strap includes a proximal end attached to the body, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a plurality of movement restriction members. The rotational element of the body is configured to removably couple to a base to allow the strap tie to rotate relative to the base.

An assembly for securing a cord in a selected compact configuration. The assembly can include a first attachment apparatus configured to connect to the cord. An elongate body can extend from the first attachment apparatus. The elongate body can be configured to be positioned to extend at least partially around the cord to at least partially secure the cord in the selected compact configuration. A second attachment apparatus can be positioned along at least a portion of the elongate body. The second attachment apparatus can be configured to connect to the first attachment apparatus to at least partially secure the elongate body at least partially about the cord in the selected compact configuration.

A binding band includes a band portion, a through opening, a locking portion, a connecting portion, and an index portion. The band portion includes a plurality of locking teeth on one surface of the band portion. The band portion is to be inserted through the through opening. The through opening is disposed on one end of the band portion in a longitudinal direction of the band portion. The locking portion includes a tooth pawl configured to lock the locking teeth when the band portion is inserted through the through opening. The connecting portion protrudes from the locking portion in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the band portion. The index portion is disposed on the connecting portion.

A reusable twist tie including: an elongated core formed of a malleable material; an outer cover for covering the core, the outer cover being formed of an elastomer; an end cap formed of a material having a greater hardness than the outer cover, the end cap being fixed at a first end of the outer cover; and a tie post. The tie post including: a first end fixed to a second end of the outer cover; a post extending in a longitudinal direction from the first end configured for wrapping the outer cover around the post; and a second end having a surface for preventing the wrapped outer cover from moving in the longitudinal direction off of the post.
