Abstract
A bag resealing clip set comprising two or more bag resealing clips, including a main clip and one or more auxiliary clips, the main clip comprising an attachment member for removably attaching the one or more auxiliary clips without opening the main clip.
Description
- The present invention relates to household items and, more particularly, to a clip set having a main clip for receiving and storing removably attachable auxiliary clips.
- Bag resealing clips are used in the home for reclosing opened bags and keeping the contents fresh for extended periods of time. More particularly, such bag resealing clips are used when only a portion of the contents of a bag is consumed after opening and the user wants to store the remaining contents without placing them in a different storage container.
- Common bag resealing clips comprise a pair of opposed cooperating arms, each having a clamping end and an activation ends separated by a fulcrum, with an axel between the fulcrums for pivoting the arms relative to one another and a spring that biases the clamping ends together. When the activation ends are brought together against the bias of the spring, the clamping ends separate and the end of a bag to be resealed can be placed between the clamping ends. When the activation ends are released, the spring biases the clamping ends to close on the end of the bag to be resealed.
- These bag resealing clips are generally meant to reseal one bag at a time and are not always easy to store and organize when not in use. Therefore, a way to store and organize multiple bar resealing clips when not in use would advance the art.
- One such prior art attempt to store and organize bag resealing clips is found in U.S. Pat. No. 8,616,384, which describes a rigid strip that can be attached to a vertical surface for holding a plurality of ball socket clips that have resealed bags held by the clips on the vertical strip. The strip independently holds a balled end of a bag clip to independently retain each bag clip on the common surface of the strip, where the individual clips can be removed from the strip without disruption of the clip from the retained bag.
- However, the strip of the cited reference is intended to hold a number of bags with clips on the vertical strip, so that the strip for holding the clips takes up a fair amount of space. Specifically, the strip holds the individual clips with sufficient room between clips so that sequential resealed bags with contents can be held by adjacent clips on the vertical strip.
- Additionally, different sized bag resealing clips are commonly used for different size bags, or for when only a small portion of the edge of a bag is opened rather than the entire edge of the bag. In providing such bag resealing clips of different sizes, the common approach has been to attach the different sized clips to a backer card. However, that not only takes up a significant amount of space, since the clips are attached sequentially on the card. Also, the card is usually considered to be disposable, so the clips need to be stored.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for storing and organizing bag resealing clips. It is another object of the invention to minimize the space needed to store multiple clips. It is a further object to store and organize clips of different sizes.
- These and other objects are addressed by the present invention, which is directed to bag resealing clip set comprising two or more bag resealing clips, one being a main bag resealing clip comprising an attachment member on a surface of the main bag resealing clip for removably attaching one or more auxiliary bag resealing clips. In the preferred embodiment, the attachment member on the main clip is capable of removably attaching a plurality of auxiliary clips, or the main clip has a plurality of attachment members for removably attaching a plurality of auxiliary clips.
- Preferably, the attachment member is located on an exterior surface of the main clip, so that the main clip does not need to be opened to attach an auxiliary clip to the main clip, and the main clip can be used to reseal a bag while the one or more auxiliary clips are attached to the main clip. This structure also allows that the one or more auxiliary clips can be attached to or removed from the main clip when the main clip is in use.
- More particularly, one or more of the auxiliary clips can be removed from the main clip while the main clip is being used to seal a first bag, for sealing additional bags that have been opened or to provide a better seal for the first bag. Similarly, such structure allows the user to replace an auxiliary clip that is no longer needed to reseal a bag on the main clip while the main clip is being used to reseal a bag.
- In the preferred embodiment, the one or more attachment members of the main clip hold a plurality of auxiliary clips. In a more preferred embodiment, the one or more attachment members hold the plurality of auxiliary clips in a line of auxiliary clips.
- The one or more attachment members of the main clip preferably cooperate with a portion of the one or more auxiliary clips to hold the one or more auxiliary clips on the main clip. Although not necessary, the attachment member on the main clip may have a cooperating element on the auxiliary clip that assists in maintaining the attachment between the main clip and the one or more auxiliary clips.
- The attachment member may be anything that helps retain the one or more auxiliary clips upon the mother clip, such as friction fit retainers, snaps, magnets, clips, clasps, hook and loop fasteners, a ridge or bar that the auxiliary clips can be clipped to, or combinations thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment member is a snap-in retainer comprising a plurality of retainer components that capture edges of an auxiliary clip.
- In another preferred embodiment, one of the mother and auxiliary clips comprise a magnet and the other comprises a cooperating magnet or a cooperating metallic element to which the first magnet is attracted. For example, the one or more auxiliary clips can include magnets on one side and the main clip can have a metallic element to which the magnet can be affixed. This would provide a synergistic effect, where the magnets on the auxiliary clips can be used not only to hold the clips to an appliance or other metallic surface, such as a refrigerator, but also function to fix the auxiliary clips to the main clip.
- An attachment member in the form of a ridge, including a rail, extending from a side of the main clip can be used to clip the auxiliary clips to. In this embodiment, the ridge extends a distance from the surface of the main clip a sufficient distance for one of the clamping members to fit under. The auxiliary clip is then opened and clamped about the ridge.
- It is also preferred that when more than one auxiliary clip is included in the set that each of the auxiliary clips is substantially the same size, so that they are interchangeable on the main clip. Although different sized auxiliary clips may be used on different areas of the main clip, making them uniform provides additional ease where the specific attachment location does not need to be determined by the user.
- The auxiliary clips are preferably retained on the clamping end of a main clip that is larger than the auxiliary clips, so that the auxiliary clips do not interfere with the activation ends of the main clip. In the most preferred embodiment, at least one entire side of the clamping end of the main clip has auxiliary clips positioned thereon. This also permits the activation portion of the main clip to be significantly smaller than the clamping portion of the main clip, as is often found on bag resealing clips for wide bags. Preferably, the clamping ends of the auxiliary clips are oriented in the same direction as the clamping end of the main clip for the sake of balance, but this is not required.
- Of course, the main clip and/or auxiliary clips may comprise one or more magnets for affixing to an appliance independent of the attachment member. Additionally, the
main clip 4 andauxiliary clips 6 may have other known elements common to bag resealing clips, including but not limited to teeth along the clamping edges of the cooperating arms, silicone tubing along the clamping edges of the cooperating arms, a hole at the activation ends of the cooperating arms, etc. - The attached drawings are intended to better illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention without limiting the invention in any manner whatsoever.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with the auxiliary clips attached to the main clip. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3A is a top plan view of the preferred embodiment of the main clip of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3B is a bottom plan view of the preferred embodiment of main clip of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention with the auxiliary clips attached to the main clip. - The following description of the preferred embodiment is presented to describe the present invention without limiting the scope of the appended claims in any manner whatsoever.
- The clip set 2 of the preferred embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1-3B is comprised of amain clip 4 and a plurality ofauxiliary clips 4 attached to themain clip 4 byattachment members 8. - As best shown in
FIG. 2 , themain clip 4 is formed of first and second cooperatingarms 14, each having a clamping end and an activation end separated byfulcrums 18. Anaxel 10 is inserted through the fulcrums 9 of the cooperatingarms 14 to create a hinge, allowing the cooperatingarms 14 to rotate relative to one another about theaxel 10. Aspring 12 biases the clamping ends of the cooperatingarms 14 toward each other to maintain the clamping ends in closed relation for holding a bag in a sealed state. Additionally, themain clip 4 preferably includes amagnet 22 for use on a metallic surface, such as a refrigerator. Themagnet 22 on themain clip 4 should be strong enough to support the mother clip 2 andauxiliary clips 4 on such a vertical metallic surface. - The
auxiliary clips 6 are each similarly formed of cooperatingarms 20 with clamping ends and activation ends separated byfulcrums 18,axels 10 for rotation of the cooperatingarms 20 relative to each other, and springs 12 for biasing the clamping ends of the cooperatingarms 20 together. Theauxiliary clips 6 are all preferably of the same dimensions, so that any of theauxiliary clips 6 can fit into any of the spaces of theattachment members 8 for receiving anauxiliary clip 6 on themain clip 4. - The preferred embodiment shown includes
attachment members 8 within arecess 16 on just one of the correspondingarms 14 of themain clip 4, however, it is understood thatattachment members 8 can be on both of the correspondingarms 14 if desired. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3A , therecess 16 for receiving theauxiliary clips 6 is located along the clamping end of thefirst arm 14. Most preferably, the clamping end of the mainclip cooperating arm 14 is dimensioned to the number and shape of theauxiliary clips 6 that are to be housed thereon. - Although not necessary to the present invention, the
auxiliary clips 6 are preferably lined up serially along the clamping end of thefirst arm 14 of themain clip 4, with the clamping ends of theauxiliary clips 6 oriented in the direction of the clamping end of themain clip 4. - The
attachment members 8 can take any form, but are here shown to be a number of attachment components formed as detents placed within therecess 14 to engage the corners of theauxiliary clips 6, so that theauxiliary clips 6 can snap-in and out of themain clip 4. Of course, the attachment means 8 can comprise cooperating elements on themain clip 4 andauxiliary clips 6, as mentioned above. - For example, a
magnetic attachment member 8, it is preferred that theauxiliary clips 6 include magnets on therear arm 20 and the floor of therecess 16 on thearm 14 of themain clip 4 be formed of a metallic surface that can hold theauxiliary clips 6 on themain clip 4. - In another example, shown in
FIG. 4 , theattachment member 8′ is a ridge or bar that extends across the clamping end of the cooperatingarm 14 of themain clip 4 so that the clamping ends of theauxiliary clips 6 can be affixed to theattachment member 8′. Such a ridge or bar is preferably used in combination with therecess 16 on the cooperatingarm 14 to properly position theauxiliary clips 6 when all of theauxiliary clips 6 are retained on themain clip 4. - The
main clip 4 should be able to both retain theauxiliary clips 6 and be used to reseal a bag both independently and at the same time. In keeping, it is preferred that theauxiliary clips 6 are docked in such a way that they do not interfere with the user engaging and manipulating the activation end of themain clip 4 for sealing or unsealing bags. - Embodiments of the invention may allow for a plurality of different sized
auxiliary clips 6 that can be attached to the same ordifferent attachment members 8 on themain clip 4. Such an embodiment may have distinct areas for particularly sizedauxiliary clips 6, where a particularauxiliary clip 6 is attached at a specific location on themain clip 4 or the use of anattachment member 8 that is adapted to receiveauxiliary clips 6 of different sizes. - Variations, modifications and alterations to the above detailed description will be apparent to those skilled in the art. All such variations, modifications and/or alternatives are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention, limited only by the appended claims. All cited patents and publications are hereby incorporated by reference.
