US Patent 11577894 Self-binding equipment ties

A self-binding equipment tie may include a bendable core, a flexible cover surrounding the bendable core, and a cavity that surrounds the bendable core within the cover. The bendable core may retain a shape when bent into the shape. The bendable core may be bendable by hand. The bendable core may be unrestrained within the cavity such that the bendable core is moveable within the cavity along two degrees of freedom. The two degrees of freedom may be perpendicular to a length of the flexible cover. The bendable core may be adjacent to an interior surface of the flexible cover, where the interior surface defines the cavity.
