BUCKLE WITH A VISUAL TENSION INDICATOR Abstract of the Disclosure Disclosed is a buckle for securing ends of a complementary looped band together about a workpiece under predetermined tension. The buckle includes a body having substantially parallel spaced top and bottom walls and side walls joining the top and bottom walls to each other. Means on the bottom wall of the body accept and anchor a first free end of the complementary band, and the top and bottom walls of the body provide a throat to accept the second free end of the complementary band. The top wall presents an edge against which a complementary tensioning tool can be seated for stretching the complementary band to a predetermined degree of tension. The top wall has a slot intermediate its margins traversing a substantial portion of its extent and extending between the side walls whereby the top wall has two planar portions. At least one portion of the top wall adjacent the slot being distortable as force is applied against the edge by the complementary tensioning tool to visually indicate that the desired tension has been applied. Means are provided for securing the second end of the band relative to the buckle to permanently set the band relative to the buckle in tensioned condition.
