Abstract:
A cable binder adapted to secure at least one elongate component having an outer perimeter that is at least substantially circular, said cable binder comprising a cable binder head and a cable binder band, wherein:said cable binder band comprises a flexible band having a fixed end joined to said cable binder head and a free end extending opposite said fixed end, and said flexible band is adapted to extend around an outer perimeter of the at least one elongate component;said cable binder head has an opening therein adapted to receive said free end of said band inserted therein when said band extends around the outer perimeter of the at least one elongate component; andsaid cable binder head comprises first and second planar contact surfaces, wherein said contact surfaces are arranged adjacent one another so as to form a contact angle (.alpha.) less than 180.degree. therebetween, said contact surfaces intersect each other at an intersection line located at a vertex of said contact angle, and said contact surfaces are adapted to contact the outer perimeter of the at least one elongate component when said band extends around the outer perimeter of the at least one elongate component and said free end is received in said opening of said cable binder head.
