A tie including a strap having two end segments connected by an extensible intermediate portion including a succession of extensible links, each link is provided with at least one frangible bridge connecting a first part of said link to a second part of said link wherein said frangible bridges have increasing sections as they progress from one of said segments toward the other.
A tie comprising:
- a strap having two end segments connected by an extensible intermediate portion,
- said intermediate portion having plural expandable links and plural frangible bridges, each of said expandable links being held in an unexpanded position by a respective one of said plural frangible bridges, each of said frangible bridges having a frangible part that ruptures upon application of a tensile force, and wherein at least two of said frangible bridges have different sections at said frangible part so as to rupture at different tensile forces.
