Abstract
A clasp for securely and redundantly closing and sealing a bag comprises an elongate spine and opposed jaws extending monolithically from the spine transverse to the spine. The jaws each include inwardly-directed upper and lower ribs, and the jaws are resiliently biased toward each other so that the lower ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other and the upper ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other as well. When a bag is applied to the clasp, the clasp confirms the seal, forms a secondary seal, and operates as a handle to carry the bag.
Claims20
A clasp comprising:
- an elongate spine;
- opposed jaws extending monolithically from the spine transverse to the spine;
- and
- the jaws each include inwardly-directed upper and lower ribs;
- wherein the jaws are resiliently biased toward each other so that the lower ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other and the upper ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other.

A clasp comprising:
- an elongate spine;
- opposed jaws extending monolithically from the spine transverse to the spine, each including an inner surface and inwardly-directed upper and lower ribs spaced apart from each other on the inner surface by a receiving space;
- and
- the receiving space of the jaws defines a hold between the jaws, the hold characterized as an elongate rectangular prismatic void extending continuously along the jaws;
- wherein the jaws are resiliently biased toward each other so that the lower ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other and the upper ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other.

- the receiving space of the jaws defines a hold between the jaws, the hold characterized as an elongate rectangular prismatic void extending continuously along the jaws;
- wherein the jaws are resiliently biased toward each other so that the lower ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other and the upper ribs of each jaw are biased toward each other to maintain a volume of the hold and to maintain the inner surfaces of the jaws between the upper and lower ribs in a parallel arrangement.
