@Neil I found more or less the same, so didn't bother posting anything as nothing seemed to fit.
Neil Ashby Jan 20, 2015:
Hi Chris In my electronic version of the RCGlobal Sp<>En Technical Dictionary (not the best) it has the following entries for "presilla":
clasp, clip, rail clip, snap fastener, snap-catch, spring clip, spring-loaded clip, staple,
none of which seem very useful. Ho hum.

I think it could mean "staple" which also appears as the translation in "Routledge" which is a good dictionary. But what "staples without gratings/a grill" are I have no idea.
Sorry couldn't help more.

tie plates without lacing

This is the answer, according to http://www.proz.com/profile/578722 (asker)

This is from a construction norm and comes under the section on composite members. Thanks

En los lados abiertos de los miembros compuestos sometidos a tracción pueden utilizarse tanto planchas de cubierta con agujeros de acceso como presillas sin rejillas. Las presillas tendrán una longitud no menor que dos tercios de la distancia entre las líneas de conectores o soldaduras que los unen a los componentes del miembro, y su espesor no será inferior a 0.02 veces la distancia entre esas líneas. La separación longitudinal de sus conectores o soldaduras intermitentes no excederá de 150 mm. La separación de las presillas será tal que la relación de esbeltez de cualquier elemento componente entre ellas no sea superior a 300.
