Claim:
A bundling device, comprising: a molding of a polymeric material including: a flexible strap having multiple teeth each including a notch, the strap frangible at the notch of any one of the teeth; and a strap engagement portion connected to the strap including first and second flexible wings defining a strap receiving aperture therebetween receiving the flexible strap in a first direction, the flexible wings engaging successive ones of the teeth to oppose removal of the strap in an opposite second direction; the first and second flexible wings each include: a first arm having a first raised portion extending into the strap receiving portion; and a second arm having a second raised portion axially displaced with respect to the first raised portion and oriented approximately 45 degrees out of plane with respect to the first raised portion; and a fastener mount portion homogenously connected to the strap engagement portion, the fastener mount portion including: a planar flange homogeneously connected to three sides of the strap engagement portion; a fastener receiving aperture created in the flange; and a plurality of deflectable arms created proximate to and extending toward the fastener receiving aperture, all including a connecting end connected to the planar flange, a free end and a continuously tapering body between the connecting end and the free end, the free end having a thickness less than the connecting end, and all created in a circular cavity of the planar flange, the deflectable arms each oriented substantially coplanar with the flange in a non-deflected condition and together deflectable with respect to the flange; wherein a fastener is movable within the fastener receiving aperture in each of a first direction and an opposite second direction coaxial with a fastener receiving aperture axis, with the fastener engaged by the plurality of deflectable arms.
