Abstract (en)
A clip is described for closing and keeping closed a container (4), such as for example a mesh bag containing clams, which clip (1, 10, 11, 100, 1000) is made of an inelastic plastic material and also shapes at least two tines (2, 3, 20, 30, 200, 300, 22, 33, 2001, 2002, 3000) which project from a base portion (5, 50, 500, 5000, 55) which connects them, the clip having an open configuration (A) in which the tines are distanced so as to enable a section of a bag (4) to be housed between the tines, and is deformable into a plurality of annular closure configurations (C), in which the tines are curved so as to define, together with the base portion, a circumscribed internal space (O) having a size which depends on the curvature of the tines, the clip being characterized in that the tines have such shapes that in each annular closure configuration (C), a curved tine engages the other, whereby maintaining the size of the circumscribed internal space (O).
