Abstract

A zipper (10) for application to a film or web using cross-web techniques comprises two interengageable elements (12, 14), each having engageable hook s (20, 22), and each having an upstanding post (24) at the margin of the fastener which is engageable with a heel (28) at the opposing margin of the other element, with the respective posts (24) and heels (28) being complementarily angled (26) at their respective contact surfaces. This enabl es the closure more easily to resist pressure without distortion.

Claims (7)

1. A reclosable fastener for plastics bags and other containers, comprising two elements, each element comprising at least one portion releasably engageable with a portion of the other element, and each element comprising an upstanding post at the margin of the fastener which is engageable with a heel of the other element at the opposing margin of said other element, wherein the respective posts and heels of the two elements are complementarily angled at their respective contact surfaces.
2. A reclosable fastener as claimed in claim 1, in which the releasably engageable portions are hooked portions.
3. A reclosable fastener as claimed in claim 1 or 2, in which each of the elements is provided with two hooks, engageable with the hooks of the other element.
4. A reclosable fastener as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, in which each of the elements is provided at or adjacent to its, margins, on the face remote from the hook or hooks, with a pair of protruding ribs.
5. A reclosable fastener as claimed in claim 4, in which each of the ribs is overlaid with a layer of sealing/welding material.
6. A reclosable fastener as claimed in claim 5, in which the sealing/welding material is EVA.
7. A reclosable fastener as claimed in any preceding claim, in which a single flange is provided on one only of the two interengageable elements of the fastener, for attachment to a film or web.
