    Abstract: It is often inconvenient to store bags of spices, potato chips, etc., particularly once the bags have been opened. Accordingly, there is disclosed herein a rack for suspending and sealing bags. The rack includes a plurality of horizontal clamps adapted to suspend and to seal bags, and support means adapted to support the clamps above a ground surface. One embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of radially oriented horizontal clamps adapted to suspend and to seal bags, each of the clamps having both a generally uniform cross-section with a discontinuity adapted to receive a bag, and a first end which is angled downwardly and inwardly. The rack also includes a support means adapted rotatably to support the clamps above a ground surface, and further adapted to be suspended from a generally horizontal surface, such as the underside of a shelf.
