Abstract

A cable harness adjustable to snugly secure axially aligned cables, wires, lines, cords, hoses, tubes and the like, having a wide range of bundle sizes, comprising a loop shaped flexible strap having a ratchet lock at one end thereof and a plurality of ratchet flaps spaced at intervals along its length, the ratchet lock having a channel therethrough orientated in the longitudinal direction of the flexible strap, and adapted to receive the free end of the flexible strap and to permit the passage of the strap therethrough, the channel also having a plurality of teeth orientated to engage the ratchet flaps on the flexible strap and to thereby prevent the backwards withdrawal of the strap from the channel while permitting its further insertion, the ratchet lock has a lateral opening feature which enables the cable harness once closed to be opened by removing the flexible strap laterally from the ratchet lock.
