Abstract:
A plastic holding strap for use in bundling an associated elongate corrugated tubular object, the holding strap comprising:an elongate profiled strap element including a pair of spaced apart parallel longitudinal strips and a set of transverse rung members extending between the pair of parallel longitudinal strips;at least one holding lug disposed on the elongate profiled strap element for selective embedded engagement with a corresponding recess defined in said associated corrugated tubular object to prevent relative movement between the corrugated tubular object and the holding strap in a direction along a longitudinal length of the tubular object;a head member connected to a first end of the elongate profiled strap element and defining at least one passage opening adapted to selectively receive a second free end of the elongate profiled strap element therethrough; and,an elastic locking element carried on the head member and defining, on opposite sides thereof, an abutment surface and an engagement member, the locking element being positioned relative to the elongate profiled strap element and the head member so that when the elongate profiled strap element is moved through the at least one passage opening, the associated bundled objects contact the abutment surface and urge said engagement member into the at least one passage opening for selectively engaging said set of transverse rung members to hold the elongate profiled strap element in place relative to the head member.
