Abstract
Cooperating strips respectively having loop-type and hook-type connector surfaces are passed through loops forming handles of carrying bags to retain the carrying bags as a group. The ends of the strips, which are typically taken from supply rolls have saw tooth ends, and are heat sealed for protection against fraying. In one embodiment, the strips are aligned end to end. In another embodiment, the loop-type and hook-type connections are staggered so that a first end of one of the strips lies intermediate the ends of the other strip, and whereby the opposite end of the first strip, after being passed through the handles of the bags is brought around so as to lie adjacent to the first end of the first strip. A method is provided for forming the hook-type and loop-type strips to prevent fraying due to use.
Claims8
Apparatus for retaining the handles of a group of bags comprising first member having a loop-type fabric on one surface thereof and a second member having a hook-type fabric on one surface thereof, said loop-type and hook-type fabrics being joined together;
- opposite ends of said members having a saw tooth configuration to prevent fraying.
A method for producing strips from an elongated synthetic plastic strip of indeterminate length and having one of a hook-type and loop-type material in one major surface thereof comprising the steps of:
- cutting a strip of a given length from a free end of said elongated strip employing an arc spark which simultaneously cuts through said strip and fuses the synthetic plastic at the region of the cut to prevent fraying.
