Abstract
Disclosed is a binder for binding a bundle of elongated bodies comprising a closed loop and a pair of converging-and-diverging arms integrally connected to the opposite middle portions of the loop and rising therefrom. In use a bundle of elongated bodies are pushed in between the opposite arms, and then the bundle is bound by intertwisting the arms around the bundle. A binder according to this invention assures a tight binding irrespective of the size of the bundle.
Claims11
A binder for binding a bundle of elongated bodies comprising an elongated closed loop initially lying in a substantially common plane and a pair of converging-and-diverging arms integrally connected to and rising substantially perpendicular from opposite middle portions of said closed loop at its narrowest dimension, said bundle adapted to extend along the elongated axis of said closed loop and to initially fall generally in the same plane as said loop, twisting of said pair of arms into interlocking relationship causing the elongated ends of said loop to move out of said plane relative to said middle portions to accommodate said bundle diametrally within said closed interlocked arms.
