  • Patent number: 5603417
    Abstract: A bag sealing and storage apparatus is made of a generally C-shaped clamp and a tubular locking portion that fits inside the clamp. On either side of the apex of the C, shoulders are extended outwardly to provide space within the clamp for a lapped or folded over part of the bag when it is sealed between the clamp and the locking portion. In addition, there is a protruding spine running along the clamping member that has a flanged end to allow it to be removably engageable with a slot in a cabinet door or the like. Thus, the user can reseal a bag and hang it off of the counter, drawer, or cabinet shelf. With the system shown in the present invention, a number of bags can be layered or overlapped to make a space efficient, out of the way, storage system for open, partially used bags.
