Abstract: Apparatus for binding a load of articles including an elongate cable extending about the load, and a spring-loaded device operatively interconnecting opposite ends of the cable. A cable take-up drum is provided to adjust the effective length of the cable extending about the load and to deflect the spring to provide selected tightening of the cable about the load. Should the load change configuration the spring maintains the cable taut about the load.
