Abstract
A food storage bag may include a flexible substrate defining first and second opposing sidewalls, a closed bottom and an open top, and first and second wires extending along the first and second sidewalls of the flexible substrate. The first and second wires may each have a shape defining a series of peaks and troughs such that the opposing peaks and troughs may be twisted together to close the flexible substrate at different lengths along the first and second sidewalls.
Claims17
A food storage bag comprising
- a flexible plastic substrate defining first and second opposing sidewalls, a closed bottom and an open top;
- first and second wires extending along the first and second sidewalls of the flexible plastic substrate, the first and second wires each having a shape defining a series of peaks and troughs such that the opposing peaks and troughs may be twisted together to close the flexible plastic substrate at different lengths along the first and second sidewalls;
- and
- a one-piece third wire extending fully continuously across the bottom of the flexible plastic substrate and connected to the first and second wires.

A food storage bag comprising
- a flexible plastic substrate defining a rectangular shape with opposing top and bottom sidewalls, first and second opposing sidewalls coupled between the top and bottom sidewalls, a closed bottom and an open top;
- first and second wires extending along the first and second sidewalls of the flexible plastic substrate, the first and second wires each having a sinusoidal shape defining a series of peaks and troughs such that the opposing peaks and troughs may be twisted together to close the flexible plastic substrate at different lengths along the first and second sidewalls;
- and
- a one-piece third wire extending fully continuously across the bottom of the flexible plastic substrate and connected to the first and second wires.
