Tie wrap connector and strap kit

A kit for assembling a tie wrap comprising:

• a strap having a first extremity and a second extremity, wherein the strap comprises a surface and is made of plastic;
• and
• a connector, detached from the strap, comprising:
• a first passage having a closed end and adapted to insert the first extremity of the strap therein until the first extremity reaches the closed end;
• and
• a second passage having two open ends and adapted to admit the second extremity at one of the two open ends and to have the second extremity exit at the other one of the two open ends;
• wherein each of the first passage and the second passage having a blade, namely a first blade and a second blade, which are oriented such that the strap is able to travel only in one direction in the first passage and the second passage;
• wherein the first passage and the second passage are substantially straight and not parallel to each other;
• wherein the body is made of a first material and the first blade and the second blade are made from a second material different from the first material;
• wherein the second material is one of a metal and a metallic alloy;
• wherein the first blade and the second blade each comprise an edge capable of generating an incision on the surface of the strap, hence in the plastic material, and thereby wedge the strap in place in the respective passage;
• and
• wherein upon pulling the strap in a direction opposite the one direction, the blade will wedge the strap in place in the respective passage.

A kit for assembling tie wraps comprising:

• a strap roll made of a strap having a surface, the strap roll being cuttable to form an arbitrary length of strap having a first extremity and a second extremity;
• and
• a connector, detached from the strap, comprising:
• a first passage having a closed end and adapted to insert the first extremity of the strap therein until the first extremity reaches the closed end;
• a second passage having two open ends and adapted to admit the second extremity at one of the two open ends and to have the second extremity exit at the other one of the two open ends;
• a body having a first section and a second section, wherein the first section comprises the first passage and the second section comprises the second passage, further wherein the first section comprises a vertical wall and the second section comprises a vertical wall distinct from and facing the vertical wall of the first section;
• and
• a bridge joining the first section and the second section of the body by extending between the vertical wall of the first section and the vertical wall of the second section;
• wherein each of the first passage and the second passage having a blade, namely a first blade and a second blade, which are oriented such that the strap is able to travel only in one direction in the first passage and the second passage;
• and
• wherein upon pulling the strap in a direction opposite the one direction, the blade will wedge the strap in place in the respective passage.
