Metal straps used to tie or bundle one or more items are provided. The metal strap includes a length of cable and a ferrule. The ferrule is pre-attached adjacent one end of the cable, and the ferrule can receive a free end of the cable, and can secure the cable to the ferrule after the cable is wrapped around one or more items.

A closing device is provided for a container of a respirator with two container shells (2, 2) joining each other at front surfaces, with at least one tightening strap (4), which encloses a part of a container shell outer surface located at right angles to the front surfaces. Two holding elements (5, 5) are each provided with a recess (6, 6) and are formed at the free ends of the tightening strap (4). A closing element (7) is formed in a U-shaped pattern with two legs (8) and meshes with each recess (6, 6) of the holding elements (5, 5). The legs (8) of the closing element (7) can be pulled out of the recess (6, 6) of the holding elements (5, 5) to take off the tightening strap (4).

A multi-component binding-strap fastener for binding volumetric objects with a strap tension a strap around the volumetric objects is described. The strap may engage the binding-strap fastener by bending an end of the strap to secure the strap through a plurality of apertures in the binding-strap fastener, by friction, by pressure, by any combination of the foregoing, or other suitable manner. A binding-strap fastener may lock in a closed position using a locking device, such as an over-center mechanism, a retaining clip, or a strap-engaging portion. The A binding-strap fastener has a hinge located thereon between a first end of the binding-strap fastener and a second end of the binding-strap fastener, where the axis of rotation is coincident with the hinge and the axis of rotation is located above the volumetric object.
