Embodiment Construction

[0037] Referring more specifically to the drawings and photos a closure device 10 for closing and the quick opening of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) bags such as bread products and other consumables that are packaged and shipped. The closure device is manufactured by injection molding using polypropylene plastic resin and can be manufactured in an array of colors. This material is more specifically an “impact” modified copolymer. This insures the longevity of the invention as well as contributes to its effectiveness in operation and achieving the goal for which it is designed.

[0038] The closure device 10 of FIG. 1 is comprised of an elongated, generally flat body structure, 4 inches in length, ¼ inches in width, and 1¼ inch in thickness and comprising a comfortable hook handle 3, two juxtaposed jaws, lower jaw 4 and upper jaw 1. mouth 3, and throat lock 5.

[0039] As shown throughout the figures and photos, a closure device according to the invention has a spring tab 8 (FIG. 2) th...

Abstract

A device of integral construction having resilient elongated members and a curved hook handle for easy and simple operation. The bad closure device of the present invention comprises smooth surfaces to accept LDPE manufactured bread and other consumable container bags and a smooth curved member located at thumb level for easy and quick release of same. The gripping characteristics of the closure device is achieved by a flexible spring tab that applies constant tension to the bag-accepting area.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] This invention relates to a closure device and more particularly for closing produce bags made of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) and those closures having smooth resilient jaws capable of quickly gripping and releasing the necks of said bags. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Many bag closure devices have been issued patents. Although innovative and well meaning the vast majority of these devices are too complicated, inconvenient, difficult to use, and / or do not accomplish the desired result of the user. The majority of the inventions in the related art just have not received widespread acceptance and use by the consumer. The current and most widely used closure devices, ones that accompany bread products shipped in LDPE bags, are small plastic-encased wires or small, thin, plastic V-clips. The wire closures are clumsy at best and aggravating, awkward, and slow at worst in opening / closing bread bags, as w...
