Abstract
A bag clip comprising first and second elongate jaw portions defining front and back ends and inner and outer surfaces. Extending between and interconnecting the first and second jaw portions intermediate the front and back ends thereof is a first spring portion which is operable to bias the front ends toward each other. The clip further comprises an elongate second spring portion which is attached to the front end of the second jaw portion and extends inwardly toward the first spring portion in cantilevered relation to the inner surface of the second jaw portion. The second spring portion is operable to bias the front end of the second jaw portion toward the front end of the first jaw portion.
Claims9
A bag clip comprising:
- a first elongate jaw portion defining front and back ends and inner and outer surfaces;
- a second elongate jaw portion defining front and back ends and inner and outer surfaces;
- a first spring portion extending between and interconnecting said first and second jaw portions intermediate said front and back ends, said first spring portion being configured to orient the front and back ends of the first and second jaw portions in juxtaposed relation and operable to bias the front ends toward each other;
- and
- an elongate second spring portion attached to the front end of said second jaw portion and extending inwardly toward said first spring portion in cantilevered relation to the inner surface of said second jaw portion, said second spring portion being operable to bias the front end of said second jaw portion toward the front end of said first jaw portion;
- wherein the compression of the back ends of the first and second jaw portions toward each other is operable to overcome the biasing force exerted by said first spring portions and separate the front ends from each other.
