Abstract

A bundling fastener for securing a bundling band wrapped around a plurality of articles and having engaging slots or protrusions formed thereon at equal intervals. The fastener includes an inserting chamber into which the bundling band is inserted, and an accommodating chamber for receiving the end portion of the bundling band after it has been wrapped around the articles. These chamber are adjacent one another and each has a height substantially equal to the thickness of the bundling band. Further, each of the chambers includes a flexible deflecting means and saw-tooth-shaped locking protrusions to be engaged with the engaging slots or protrusions of the band, in such a manner that the locking protrusions of the inserting chamber are opposite in direction to those of the accommodating chamber. Due to this construction, the bundling band is economically used, and the bundling operation is achieved with high space efficiency.
