ABSTRACT:
A single-piece slider member (200) is provided for use with a closure device having interlocking fastening strips (108) disposed along opposing side walls (52, 53) of a storage container, such as a conventional plastic bag. The slider member (200) comprises a main body portion (210) which is adapted to be installed upon the interlocking fastening strips (108) and a door portion (240) which is hingedly attached to the main body portion (210) along a hinge portion (241) for movement between open and closed positions. When the main body portion (210) is installed upon the fastening strips (108), the hinge portion (241) is substantially perpendicular to the main body portion (210). The slider member (200) is also provided with a latching mechanism (280) which retains the door portion (240) in the closed position. During assembly, the main body portion (210) of the slider member (200) is installed upon the interlocking fastening strips (108) and then the door portion (240) is moved into the closed position to slidably attach the slider member (200) onto the interlocking fastening strips (108).
