Abstract:
1. A hand removable tie for temporally securing a tote box lid to a tote box comprising: a) a strap having a multiplicity of teeth over a substantial portion and terminated in one end with an enclosure containing a tooth engaging pawl and on the other with a tip that can be inserted into said enclosure and pulled through to have said teeth engage said pawl in a reverse pull-out resistant manner, further comprising: b) a pull tab that extends from said strap to one side of said strap adjacent to said enclosure, there being a channel of reduced thickness material disposed between said pull tab and said strap and continuing across said strap toward the edge of said strap opposite said pull tab but leaving a thick section in said strap at said opposite edge, whereby said tie has adequate strength to hold a tote box lid in place, but a human hand can pull on said pull tab and readily separate said strap into two pieces.
