Bag fixing

Abstract

A bag wall includes side walls in which bands of material are divided into bag loops. Dividers are secured across these bag loops utilizing clips which extend along one side over the bag loop and on the other side over a fixing loop of the divider. Thus, the fixing loops are held in robust association with the bag loops in order to provide appropriate division of an interior space of the bag. Similar clips can be utilized with fixing loops in order to secure bridge dividers or a compartment within the space.

       20 . A fixing for a bag, the fixing comprising a bag loop and a fixing loop along with a clip which comprises two limbs arranged in use to extend respectively into the bag loop and the fixing loop to ensure robust association between the bag loop and the fixing loop, thereby restraining the bag loop and fixing loop against relative movement between them.  
   
   
       21 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clip comprises a hairpin arranged to close at one end with lateral bulging when closed to restrain the bag loop and/or fixing loop.  
   
   
       22 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 21  wherein the lateral bulging is outward.  
   
   
       23 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clip is open ended with sufficient resilience to ensure robust association and the limbs provided with bias bulging to provide restraint of the bag loop and/or fixing loop.  
   
   
       24 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clip includes a shaped surface to engage and restrain the bag loop and/or the fixing loop.  
   
   
       25 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein two shaped surfaces are provided in the clip to co-operate in order to restrain the bag loop and fixing loop between them.  
   
   
       26 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 25  wherein the two shaped surfaces are opposed.  
   
   
       27 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 25  wherein the two shaped surfaces are reciprocal with re-entrant portions to restrain the bag loop and fixing loop between them.  
   
   
       28 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clip penetrates the materials from which the bag loop and/or fixing loop are made in order to restrain these loops and/or lock the limbs together.  
   
   
       29 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clips are made from plastics materials or metals or a combination thereof with plastics materials to provide grip portions and metal parts to ensure robust association.  
   
   
       30 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the clip ends are closed together by detent or latch engagement.  
   
   
       31 . A fixing as claimed in  claim 30  wherein the clip ends are closed by interleaving notch engagement between respective ends of the limbs.  
   
   
       32 . A bag including a fixing comprising a bag loop and a fixing loop along with a clip which comprises two limbs arranged in use to extend respectively into the bag loop and the fixing loop to ensure robust association between the bag loop and the fixing loop, thereby restraining the bag loop and fixing loop against relative movement between them.  
   
   
       33 . A bag as claimed in  claim 32  wherein the bag loop comprises a band of material secured to a wall of the bag.  
   
   
       34 . A bag as claimed in  claim 33  wherein the band is sectioned to form a number of bag loops.  
   
   
       35 . A bag as claimed in  claim 34  wherein bands of material are secured to the wall one on top of the other with different section spacings to form different sized bag loops.
