  • Patent number: 5873303
    Abstract: A method for binding bundled objects, in particular pieces of cable is disclosed. A first end of a binding material is used to encircle the bundled objects and is then passed through an opening located on a second end of the binding material. A pulling force is then applied to the binding material thereby tightly securing the bundled objects. The binding material is then bent forming a folded edge and passed through a second opening. Finally, the first end is pressed against a portion of the binding material wrapped around the bundled objects, thus producing a static friction and securing the bundled objects.
