  • Patent number: 6763554
    Abstract: A strap-form tie which makes use of self-engaging back-to-back hook and loop material (hooks on one of the tie and the loop component on the opposite surface), with a special tab on one end to facilitate wrapping. The tie overlaps itself and attaches to itself, adjusting to the diameter of the object(s) being enclosed. The tie is untied simply by peeling it apart, and it may be re-used repeatedly. This novel design makes practical many new uses for strap-form ties.
