Abstract (en)

A flat plastic clip (10) has a pressure tab (14) having opposed sharp pressure points (20) facing the thin, narrow pinching channels (18). The pressure points (20) are joined by curved hook portions (22) and partially form bag crease openings (24) that are offset inwardly from the pressure points (20). A large relief opening (16) is provided below the pressure tab (14) and joins pinching channels (18) adjacent the pressure points (20). The width (w) of the material of the body (12) between the outside end of the body and the pressure pinching channels (18) is of considerable width. The neck of the pressure tab which joins the pressure tab (14) to the body (12) is also of substantial width to provide rigidity to the clip (10) at the pinching channels (18) and apply a strong force resisting bending of the pressure tab (14) outwardly of the plane of the clip (10). <IMAGE>
