  • the channels 22 are provided in the same position in each of the layers 2, 3, such that a tightening element 21 may be arranged in the channels.
  • the tightening element 21 is in the embodiments shown in the figures provided as a strip or ribbon, and is adapted to be arranged in one channel 22.
  • the tightening element 21 is flat, such that a flat bag is achieved. This is advantageous when many bags are to be placed on top of each other during storage and transport of the bags.
  • the bag 1 may have an initial state as shown in Fig. 2, in which the bag is substantially flat, possibly the opening 12 of the bag is open, and may then be filled with disposables or other objects.
  • the first end 21a of the tightening element 21 projects from the channel 22 such that it is available for being pulled.
  • the bag 1 may also be present in a closed state, as shown in Fig. 3, in which pulling of the tightening element 21 via the available end 21a has caused the bag 1 to be brought into the closed state.
  • the opening 12 is at least partially closed.
  • the bag and the tightening element may be formed from a plastic material, e.g., a new plastic material, a recycled plastic material, or a mixture of these. They may also be provided from a biologically degradable material. Other materials may also be used.
  • the tightening element 21 further comprises a stopping device 23.
  • the stopping device 23 is provided inside the channel 22 in the initial position. When the stopping device 23 is pulled out from the channel 22, i.e., when the bag 1 is in the closed state, the stopping device 23 prevents the tightening element 21 from moving back into the channel 22 again. Thus, in the closed state, the stopping device 23 is engaged against the opening 26 in the channel 22.
  • Fig' s 5a-c wherein an embodiment of the tightening element 21 is shown.
  • the tightening element comprises the previously described ends 21a, as well as the stopper element 23.
  • a second end 21b is shown here: in Figure 2, this end 21b is attached innermost in respective channel 22, e.g., by a plastic weld (heating of the second end 21b of the tightening element 21 and the channel 22 in the same area, which causes a melting together of the tightening element 21 and the channel 22 in the layers 2, 3) or the like.
  • the stopping device 23 is in the figures provided as a wing at the tightening element 21.
  • the wing which is shown in detail in Fig. 6f, may be provided by bending or folding an area 31 of the tightening element 21 , wherein, subsequently, the bended or folded area is attached to the tightening element 21 through a plastic weld 32 or through another means of attachment, such as gluing, seam etc.
  • the wing 31 is engaged against the opening 26 in the channel 22 and prevents the tightening element 21 from sliding further back into the channel 22.
  • An alternative stopping device 23 is shown in Fig. 6a.
  • the stopping device 23 is provided using a stiffened area 33.
  • the stiffened area 33 is provided using several inclined seams in the tightening element 21 , which makes this area of the tightening device 33 stiffer than the rest of the tightening element 21 , which prevents the stiffened area 33 from returning into the channel 22 after having been pulled out of the channel 22.
  • An alternative stopping device 23 is shown in Fig. 6b; here, the stopping device 23 is provided as two spaced apart seams 34a, 34bg transverse to the tightening element 21, and this will have a corresponding function to the stopping device 23 in Fig. 6a.
  • An alternative stopping device 23 is shown in Fig. 6c: here, the stopping device 23 is provided having two spaced apart seams 35a, 35b formed as two arrows or angles transverse to the tightening element 23.
  • FIG. 6d and 6e An alternative stopping device 23 is shown in Fig. 6d and 6e.
  • the stopping device 23 is formed as a double wing with two projecting elements 31a, 31b from the stopping device 21, wherein the stopping device 21 first is folded as in Fig. 6e and then is merged together by a plastic seam or plastic weld 32 as in Fig. 6d. Again, the wings 31a, 31b will engage against the opening 26 in the channel 22 and prevent the tightening element 21 from further sliding back into the channel 22.
  • the stopping device may then be provided as an area of the tightening device which comprises an extension which prevents the tightening device from entering into the channel again after being pulled out, or the stopping device may cause friction against the channel 22 and in the same way prevent the tightening device from entering back into the channel again after being pulled out.
  • the friction may be provided by a structure or surface as mentioned above, or by the stopping device being formed from one or more materials which will provide friction against the channel 22 and which thus keep the bag closed.
  • the stopping device 23 is generally provided by using the material of the tightening element 21 itself, in addition to attachment means such as glue/seam etc.
  • Fig' s 7a-e The pulling direction for pulling the tightening element 21 out of the channel 22 is shown by arrow T.
  • the stopping device 23 is provided by an extra material 41 being attached to the tightening element 21.
  • the extra material 41 is preferably formed such that it slides easily out of the opening 26 of the channel 22, but is prevented from sliding back into the opening again. As shown, the extra material 41 is formed with a sliding face 41a and a barb 41b.
  • the stopping device 23 is provided by removing parts of the tightening element 21.
  • the tightening element 21 is here made from a thicker material, wherein a wedge shaped recess 42 is provided on both sides of the tightening element 21 by removing parts of the tightening element 21.
  • Fig. 7c corresponds substantially to Fig. 7b.
  • the stopping device 23 in the form of the wedge shaped recess 42 is only provided on one side of the tightening element 21.
  • the tightening element 21 is not necessarily made from a thicker material; here the tightening element 21 is a slim ribbon as shown in Fig's 1-6.
  • the stopping device 23 is also provided with a wedge shaped recess 42 on both sides of the ribbon.
  • the stopping device 23 is provided as a recess 43 in the shape of a hole in the tightening element 21 proper.
  • the recess 43 is substantially V shaped, with a V shaped barb 42b formed from the material of the tightening element 21.
  • the term "wedge shaped" designates that the stopping device 23 has a sliding face 42a which easily slides in the direction out of the channel and a barb 42b which stops against the opening 26.
  • the sliding face 42a and the barb 42b are only shown in Fig' s 7b and 7d.
  • Fig. 8 it is shown that an area 26a close to the opening 26 in the channel 22 may be stiffened to contribute to the stopping device 23 being prevented from sliding into the channel 22 again after having been pulled out.
  • the stiffened area 26a may be provided using the above mentioned methods, e.g., plastic welds, plastic seams etc.
  • the first layer 2 has one channel 22, and the other layer 3 has one channel 22, arranged at at the same height inside the bag 1.
  • the channels has only openings in one end.
  • the opening in the channel 22 in the first layer 2 is arranged on a first side (e.g., to the left) and the opening in the channel 22 in the second layer 3 is arranged on the opposite side (e.g., to the right).
  • a first tightening element 21 is arranged in the channel 22.
  • a first end 21a of the tightening element projects out from the channel 22 in the first layer 2, and a first end 21a of the tightening element 21 projects from the channel 22 in the second layer 3 in the initial state.
