Abstract: A binding and sealing strip comprises a cord with locking members at the ends thereof such that when one is inserted in the other they cannot be separated. The strip is preferably of flexible plastic and can be molded to be small enough in size so that it can be threaded into the mesh of a burlap bag, for instance, for binding and sealing the open end of same.

Abstract: In a rack and tie-back clip assembly, the clips are joined in pairs by a cord and are held in a linear array on the rack. The clips can be disengaged in pairs from the rack, the mounting arrangement of the clips on the rack being such that entanglement of the cords does not occur either in storage or during removal of the clips. The rack has bars which sit within slots in the clips so as to prevent rotation of the clips while held in the rack. In a preferred arrangement, each rack holds two rows of clips, the clips lying against each other so as to provide additional stability to the assembly.
