ABSTRACT:
The bag closure comprises a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm. The first, second and third arms each include a first and second end. The second arm is disposed intermediate the first and third arms. The first ends of each arm are permanently attached to a groin and extend therefrom into a first position wherein the second ends of each arm are maintained in a spaced apart orientation where the second ends of each arm are not touching each other and are not secured to each other. In this first position, a first open slot separates the first and second arms and a second open slot separates the second and third arms. A ring is utilized to secure the second ends of the first, second, and third arms in a second position where the first and third arms are moved closer in proximity to the second arm and the first and second slots are substantially closed at the second ends of the arms. The portion of a bag wrapped around the second arm is pressed onto the second arm by the securing of the second ends of the first, second and third arms in a second position. The weight of the contents within the bag further secures the bag within the closure when the bag is permitted to hang from the closure by causing the third arm to urge a portion of the bag that extends beyond the second arm after passing around the second arm against another portion of the bag that has not passed around the second arm. The bag closure typically includes a handle integral with the first arm, and additionally may also include a shoulder strap attached to the first and second ends of the first arm.
