ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a clip used to hold bags of chips that have previously been opened or not by the user after packaging and then resealed for storage, in a functional and space saving way making them easy to identify and access.
Clips of different configurations have been to reseal bags with storageable foods for many years. One of the most common types of bag clips uses two leg members that pivot relative to each other with a biasing spring between them to normally maintain the legs together at their free ends.
Still another bag clip configuration used two elongated jaws and a first spring portion that is used to bias the front ends of the jaws towards each other. An elongated second spring on the front end of the second jaw extends inwardly towards the first spring to bias the front end of the second jaw towards the front of the first jaw portion.
Another prior art reference discloses an article storage organizer including a mounting track and clips slidably received within a channel of the track. The clips are pivotable between an opened and a closed position relative to the track. With another invention a bag closure for sealing bags is described that has a trough which engages a blade like body of a wedge-shaped member. The upper end of the blade-like member has a location for receiving a bag which can be clamped between this member and the trough.
Still another bag clip invention for sealing bags includes two hinged limbs with bag engagement surfaces. There is a snap lock at the limbs free ends and an elastically resilient bridge to press bag material against an engagement surface.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Bag closure or sealing clips are known. For example, in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,305,500 to Tucker two elongated jaws and a first spring portion are used to bias the front ends of the jaws towards each other. An elongated second spring on the front end of the second jaw extends inwardly towards the first spring to bias the front end of the second jaw towards the front of the first jaw portion.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,337,987 to Sawatsky discloses an article storage organizer including a mounting track and clips slidably received within a channel of the track. The clips are pivotable between an opened and a closed position relative to the track to retain bags.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,379,489 to Delk et al. discloses a bag closure for sealing bags that has a trough which engages a blade like body of a wedge-shaped member. The upper end of the blade-like member has a location for receiving a bag which bag can be clamped between this member and the trough.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,598,608 to Naslund discloses a bag clip invention for sealing bags which includes two hinged limbs with bag engagement surfaces. There is a snap lock at the limbs free ends and an elastically resilient bridge to press bag material against an engagement surface
In the present invention a clip receptacle mounted on a supporting surface has spaced channels each of which channels can receive a pivotably mounted clip to retain a sealed bag in each channel as set forth hereafter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to mounting bracket with spaced channels each of which can receive a pivotably mounted bag clip.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide for an improved mounting bracket and bag clip to retained and seal bags, organizing them in a functional and space saving way making them easy to identify and access.
Another object is to provide for such a system wherein a plurality of spaced channels within a mounting bracket each may have bag sealing clips mounted in them.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to readers from a consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings.
