A zip tie operable with one hand comprising a head having a channel defined by a first top wall, a second top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second sidewall, a front wall and an end wall. The first top wall and the second top wall are configured to cooperate to provide a top access to the channel. Teeth are disposed on an inner wall of the channel transverse to a longitudinal axis of the channel and an elongated member extends from the head. The elongated member has a distal section having a serrated section, a starter cord and a pull tab. The starter cord is insertable into the channel typically through the top access and the pull tag enables pulling of the elongated member through the channel while the one or more teeth engage with the serrated section to prevent the zip tie from getting undone.

A method of packaging an outdoor product includes providing an outdoor product, and providing a sheet of polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”). The method also includes printing indicia on the sheet of PVC using a UV printing process, cutting the sheet of PVC to a desired shape, and affixing the sheet of PVC to the outdoor product.

The present invention is a wire management device and system comprising a locking head and an elongated strap extending downwardly from a bottom of the locking head and configured to feed through a locking mechanism in the locking head to form a first fixed loop. The elongated strap comprises a length of material, a plurality of stops spaced evenly along the length of material and configured to prevent the elongated strap from moving through the through hole, and a plurality of ridges spaced evenly between the plurality of stops. The locking mechanism is configured to engage the plurality of ridges to allow the elongated strap to move in one direction through the locking mechanism and prevent the elongated strap from moving in an opposite direction. The plurality of stops are configured to prevent the elongated strap from moving further through the locking head.

New self-threading cords, tapes, cables and/or ropes (“ties”) are provided, with a plurality of ports through their length. In some embodiments, a perimeter of each of the ports matches at least one first perimeter of the tie, and an end of the tie may be threaded through any of the ports (a.k.a., “self-threading” the tie). In some embodiments, ridges are provided on or about at least part of the tie. In some embodiments, the ridges may be threaded through the ports, and the ridges hold the tie in a fastened position. Due to the plurality of ports and possible self-threading actions, a wide variety of fastening actions may be carried out.

A restraint may include a longitudinal body having a first end and a second end. The restraint may also include a plurality of engagement features distributed between the first end and the second end. A dimension of at least one of the longitudinal body and the plurality of engagement features may vary along at least a portion of a length of the longitudinal body. The restraint may further include a head disposed at the first end of the longitudinal body. The head may define an aperture and may include a pawl that configured to individually engage the plurality of engagement features. The dimension may vary incrementally or continuously along at least the portion of the length of the longitudinal body from the first end to the second end.

A device for releasably and adjustably securing a medical tube includes a receiver and a tail, which may be used for thoracostomy. The receiver has a receiver aperture and receiver teeth. The tail has center holes along a central axis of the device. Raised tail teeth are formed on the tail between the central axis and the tail sides. The tail teeth are arranged to engage the receiver teeth when an end of the tail is fed through the receiver aperture to form a tail loop. The receiver teeth define receiver teeth apertures that are smaller than the receiver aperture. The tail loop is adjustable to tighten around the medical tube.

A clip comprising a connecting base including a bolt introduction hole that is configured such that a bolt member formed on an object member is introduced thereinto. The connecting base includes flexible engagement strips formed on an inner surface thereof and having pressing blocks. The pressing blocks respectively include engagement claws formed on proximal end portions of inner surfaces thereof. The engagement claws engage the predetermined portions of thread groove of the bolt member, so that the connecting base is connected to the object member. In a connected condition of the connecting base, when the engagement claws are disengaged from the predetermined portions of the thread groove due to an extraction force, edge portions formed on distal end portions of the inner surfaces of the pressing blocks engage different portions of the thread groove of the bolt member.

A zip tie operable with one hand comprising a head having a channel defined by a first top wall, a second top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second sidewall, a front wall and an end wall. The first top wall and the second top wall are configured to cooperate to provide a top access to the channel. Teeth are disposed on an inner wall of the channel transverse to a longitudinal axis of the channel and an elongated member extends from the head. The elongated member has a distal section having a serrated section, a starter cord and a pull tab. The starter cord is insertable into the channel typically through the top access and the pull tag enables pulling of the elongated member through the channel while the one or more teeth engage with the serrated section to prevent the zip tie from getting undone.
