' INVENTOR EDWARD W. MOON ATTORNEYS PLASTIC BAG TIE SUMMARY OF INVENTION This invention relates to resilient ties,and'deals more particularly with a thermoplastic one piece tie of novel shape, which is resilient and can be reused many times. The design shown is intended for closing the open end of a polyethylene bag or the like, but other uses might be as a tag holder, or even as a plant tie.
A general object of the present invention is to provide a resilient thermoplastic one-piece bag tie which does not tend to slip relative to the bag when in use, and which is nevertheless easily applied or removed from the bag with a minimum of effort.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a resilient one piece bag tie which is so designed as to be readily fabricated from a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene, in a plastic injection molding machine capable of high-quantity low-cost production.
BRIEF OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the bag tie in its open condition;
FIG. 2 is a view of the bag tie shown in FIG. I, with one of the leg portions being shown beneath the other leg portion in the process of locking the bag tie in position on a bag (not shown), the broken line position shows the relative positions of the leg portions just prior to locking;
FIG. 3 is still another view of the bag tie shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, with the device being shown in its locked condition.
FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 show the device of FIG. 1 as it would appear from below, these views corresponding to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the bag tie shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, that is FIG. 7 shows the bag tie in its locked condition.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Turning now to the drawing in greater detail, FIG. 1 shows a one-piece bag tie fabricated preferrably from a resilient thermoplastic material such as polystyrene. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that the article shown in the several views of this drawing is well adapted to high-quantity low-cost production in a conventional plastic injection molding machine, and the advantages to the novel shape for the bag tie to be described are of particular usefulness in a thermoplastic element fabricated by such a process.
Considering next the specific shape of the bag tie itself, FIG. I shows the upper surface of the bag tie as being of wirelike round cross section at least throughout a major portion of its length, and FIG. 4 shows the reverse side of the article as having a relatively flat surface throughout the same portion of its length. One leg portion thereof is shown with a flat surface along a major portion of its length in Fig. I and has the rounded cross section on its reverse side, as best shown in Fig. 4. More particularly, the bag tie element includes a generally circular midportion 10 for encircling the closed end of a bag or the like, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the inside corner 12 defined by the inner periphery of the circular midportion 10 provides a rather sharp edge for frictionally engaging the bag, thereby preventing the bag tie from slipping with respect to the bag when it is in its locked condition. This feature is especially important when the plastic bag tie is used on polyethylene bags or the like. The shape adopted herein for this circular portion [0, namely the semicircular cross section provides a convenient means for defining this inner comer 12 to prevent slipping of the locked bag tie especially when used on polyethylene bags or the like. While the comer 12 is shown as a contiguous edge in the bag tie form described herein, it will be apparent that other forms might be used to grip the bag depending upon the materials comprising the bag and the tie, and also depending upon the relative size of the tie itself. That is, the bag tie edge 12 might be provided with integrally formed teeth or serrations for more securely gripping the bag under the particular circumstances outlined above.
The bag tie element has at least one outwardly extending leg portion 14 which is integrally connected to one side of the circular midportion 10 by a pair of substantially right-angle segments I6 and 18, best shown inFig. 7,-which segments 16 and I8 serve to offset said one leg portion I4 out of the plane formed by the circular midportion 10 at least when the bag tie is in its open condition. As best shown by a comparison of FIGS. I and 4 the one leg portion 14 which is so offset includes a flat upper surface 20 and a reverse side which is preferrably formed with a rounded contour in the manner of the upper surface of the circular midportion l0 referred to above.
The bag tie element further includes a second outwardly extending leg portion 22 which is in turn integrallyconnected to the opposite side of the circular midportion 10 so as to define 20 for receiving the bag to be closed. The circular midportion 10 also defines an opening between the connection point of leg portions I4 and 22 respectively for receiving the bag. The second leg portion 22 is preferably connected to the circular midportion by means of a'U-shaped segment 24 located in the plane of said circular portion and the said U-shaped segment extends generally toward the offset segment I4 of the first leg portion at least when the bag tie is in its open condition. As so constructed and arranged the leg portions 14 and 22 can be twisted around one another to lock said offset segment 16 and 18, of one leg 14 in said U-shaped segment of the other leg 22.
The locked condition for the bag tie is shown in FIGS. 3, 6 and 7, and it will be apparent that the flat surfaces 20 and 26 of the legs 14 and 22 cooperate with one another so as to provide a bag tie having a relatively short axial profile in the area adjacent the bag to be tied as best shown in FIG. 7. Preferably, the second leg portion 22 has the same rounded cross-sectional shape as does the midportion l0, and both said leg portions thus define suitable flats for cooperating with one another to achieve the foregoing object. More particularly, the offset portion 14 of said first leg preferably has its flat 20 arranged in the same plane as that of the fiat surface defined by the circular midportion 10 at least when the bag tie is in its open condition. The U-shaped segment 24 of the second leg portion 22 defines an opening 28 having a depth somewhat greater than the maximum cross-sectional dimension, or diameter of the half round offset leg portion 14, as best shown in Figs. 3 and 6.
As so formed the bag tie element shown in the drawings can be conveniently secured to the open end of a bag, and especially a polyethylene bag, with a simple twisting motion as indicated by the arrows 30, 30 in Figs. 2 and 5, and it will also be apparent that the bag tie can be conveniently removed and reused indefinitely as a result of its inherent resiliency. It will be apparent that the bag tie shown in the drawing is locked with a slight counterclockwise twisting motion exerted upon the leg portions 22 and 14 and unlocked with a clockwise mo tion. It will also be apparent that the bag tie might be constructed with the leg portions 22 and I4 reversed with respect to one another so as to provide a bag tie which can be locked as a result of a slight clockwise twisting motion, and conversely unlocked as a result of a reverse or counterclockwise twisting motion. The actual extent of the twisting motion required to unlock the leg portions 14 and 22 can be seen to be minimized as a result of the oppositely arranged half round configuration of these elements. More particularly, once the leg portions have been spread to the broken line position shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the opposite half round cross-sectional shape of these elements facilitates returning of the resilient bag tie to its open condition. That is, the legs tend to open up, and to return to the open condition shown in FIGS. 1
' and4.
