Description

FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a fastening strap, the bottom plan view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a back view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left-side view thereof, the right-side view being a mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is an isometric view thereof, showing my design closing a bread bag.

The broken lines in FIG. 5 showing a bag are for environmental purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

The claimed fastening strap is a reusable hook and loop fastening system in a specific arrangement to facilitate closing and opening of bags without the need of twisting and untwisting wires, which results difficult for people with hand-movement limitations. The claimed fastening strap comprises a loop-sectioned tab for grasping to facilitate the opening of the bags.

Claims
