Zusammenfassung:A securement member is provided for mounting a cable tie to a mounting panel. The cable tie is an elongate member having a head and a tail extending from the head and having a self-bias to a planar condition. The securement member comprises a rigid elongate body defining an aperture extending therethrough, the aperture being adapted to receive the tail and being dimensioned to frictionally engage the received tail, attaching the tail to the securement member. The frictional force is derived from a widthwise or heightwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition. Force derived from the lengthwise component of the tail's self-bias to a planar condition may supplement the widthwise component in both attaching the tail to the securement member and in mounting the tie on a mounting panel.
