Abstract
An implement (1) for binding wire about a tube on a pipe, or other object, having a pair of pivoted handles (2, 3) and jaws, each jaw (5, 6) an integral extension of a handle and each jaw located on the same side of the pivot (4) as the respective handle; the jaws (5, 6) open as the handles are squeezed. Binding posts (10, 11), allow the securing of wire to the jaws after passing the wire around the tube and grooves (8, 9) at the ends of the jaws hold the wire at the ends of the jaws, after tensioning the wire around the tube by squeezing the handles the implement is twisted to secure the tensioned wire. Side cutters (14, 15) on the implement allow cutting off the ends of the wire for a neat finish.

1-7. (canceled)
An implement for binding and clamping wire tightly around pipes or other objects, which comprises a pair of handles that are pivotally connected by a pivot pin, with a jaw extending from each handle beyond the pivot, in which each jaw is on the same side of a longitudinally oriented plane which is coincident with the axis of the pivot pin as the handle from which the jaw extends, with a groove located at the end of each jaw and one or both selected from a tiepost and a hole located at the end of each jaw, characterized in that the jaws extend integrally from the handles and are directly connected, the groove of each jaw being aligned with the groove of the other jaw, so that the handles may be squeezed closed using only one hand to feel the extent of the force applied and the implement twisted while maintaining pressure on handles.
