Abstract

Abstract A bag clip for tightly sealing plastic bags. The bag clip comprises two limbs (1, 2) hinged together at respective one ends thereof and intended to receive therebetween that portion of the bag where a seal is to be effected when the limbs are moved towards one another with the bag portion therebetween, wherewith the other ends of the limbs have arranged thereon a manually openable snap-lock arrangement (8-1 i,13,14) which closes automatically when the limbs are brought together to a sufficient extent. Each of the mutually facing surfaces of the limbs (1, 2) has arranged thereon an opposing channel, the one channel (4) being wider than the other channel (20), with upstanding free channel walls. The walls (3a, 3b) of the narrower channel are intended to be pressed in between the walls (6a, 6b) of the wider channel with the bag material therebetween, and the walls (3a, 3b) of the narrower channel can be elastically pressed in towards one another by the walls (6a, 6b) of the wider channel, the parts of said walls (6a, 6b) being chamfered (7), so that this channel (4) is wider at its upper region than further down along the height of its walls (6a, 6b).

A bag clip, particularly intended for tightly sealing bags at any location along the height of the bag comprising two limbs (1, 2) which are hinged together at respective one end thereof and which are intended to receive therebetween that portion of the bag where a seal is to be effected when the limbs are moved together with said bag portion therebetween, the other ends of the limbs having a manually openable snap-lock arrangement (8-11, 13, 14) which can be automatically closed when the limbs are brought together to a sufficient extent, characterized in that each of the mutually facing surfaces of the limbs has arranged thereon an opposing channel, which runs longitudinally along the limbs, the one channel (4) being wider than the other channel (20) with upstanding channel walls, the distance between the outer sides of the walls (3a, 3b) of the narrower channel is less than the upper width of the wider channel and the walls (3a, 3b) of the narrower channel are elastically deformable and can be urged towards one another by the walls (6a, 6b) of the wider channel, the inner surfaces of said walls (6a, 6b) of the wider channel being chamfered (7) so that this channel (4) is wider in its upper region than further down the height of its walls (6a, 6b).
