  • Patent number: 5515580
    Abstract: A binding tie device used to either confine and constrict a single object, or else hold two or more objects snugly together. The binding tie includes a length of curled cord (10) which will recoil to its curled shape after being stretched straight, a chain (12), made of bead type chain, and split ring (24). The working end of cord (10) and the first end of chain (12) are connected together. Split ring (24) is connected to the second end of chain (12). Split ring (24) is employed to stretch the cord straight and wind it in either direction around the object being tied. Cord (10) automatically turns allowing it to first uncoil when stretched and then recoil as it is wound around the object thereby securely binding the object. Cord (10) is untied by winding in the opposite direction. The first end of chain (12) may be positioned on cord (10) so that the tie with attached object can be hung up or attached by split ring (24).
