A bag comprising two generally parallel sheets (16, 18) forming the main walls of the bag, complementary closure strips (20, 22) fixed to respective ones of the sheets, and a cursor (50) for actuating the strips (20, 22) for closing and opening purposes, the bag being characterized in that it further C comprises, parallel to the closure strips (20, 22) between said sheets (16, 18), and level with the mouth (12) of the bag, a structure (100) disposed on the insides of the closure strips (20, 22), designed to provide sealing by forming a barrier between the sheets (16, 18) in the closed position of the bag, said structure (100) being placed facing the flanks (52, 54) of the cursor (50) to be urged towards their sealing position by the cursor (50) when the cursor is moved towards the sealing position.
A bag having two generally parallel sheets forming the main walls of the bag, complementary closure strips attached to the sheets, and a slider provided to open and close the closure strips mounted thereon, the bag comprising, parallel to the closure strips, leakproofing means disposed on the insides of the closure strips, the leakproofing means designed to provide a leakproof barrier forming a barrier-type seal between the closure strips when the closure strips are in a closed position, the leakproofing means being adapted to be urged towards the opposing strip by the slider when the slider is moved towards a bag closing position, wherein the leakproofing means comprises at least one curved, flexible, cylindrically shaped section whose outside surface is in contact with the surface of the opposing strip to provide the leakproof barrier when the closure strips are closed.
A reclosable fastener comprising base webs with interlocking elements integrally attached thereto, the elements being opened and closed by a slider mounted thereon and comprising integrally attached leakproofing means below the elements wherein the leakproofing means consist essentially of a flexible circular-shaped section on one of the base webs positioned below the elements whose outside surface presses against the opposing base web when the elements are interlocked.
