Pest-proof bag

Abstract

A pest-proof bag that includes a front wall and a rear wall, wherein the front wall is sealably coupled to the rear wall at edges to form an enclosure. A traversing elongated slot in the front wall just below a periphery of the front wall can be provided for gaining access into the enclosure. A fastener can be sealably coupled along a periphery of the elongated slot and configured to sealably close the elongated slot. The fastener can be a laminated zipper that prevents penetration of pests.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pest-proof bag comprises:

         2 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a laminated zipper. 
     
     
         3 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein an inner and an outer surface of the enclosure are laminated. 
     
     
         4 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall and the rear wall are stitched and sealed at the edges. 
     
     
         5 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 3 , wherein the pest-proof bag does not have any pocket on the outer surface of the enclosure. 
     
     
         6 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall is sealably coupled to the rear wall to form a continuous seam, wherein the continuous seam is configured to prevent penetration of pests. 
     
     
         7 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 2 , wherein the laminated zipper prevents penetration of pests. 
     
     
         8 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 3 , wherein the outer surface of the enclosure is plain. 
     
     
         9 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the pest-proof bag further comprises a flexible handle coupled to the rear wall and adjacent to the elongated slot. 
     
     
         10 . The pest-proof bag according to  claim 1 , wherein the pest-proof bag further comprises an elongated strap that has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the elongated strap is coupled to the front wall just below the elongated slot, the elongated strap has an outer surface and an inner surface, a tip portion of the inner surface of the elongated strap at the distal end has a layer of a first member of mating members of a hook and loop fastener, the outer surface of the elongated strap has a layer of a second member of the mating members of the hook and loop fastener, wherein the elongated strap is configured to wrap around rolled pest-proof bag and the first member of the mating members coupled to the second member of the mating members. 
     
     
         11 . A pest-proof bag consisting essentially of:
 a front wall and a rear wall, wherein the front wall is sealably coupled to the rear wall at edges forming an enclosure;   a traversing elongated slot in the front wall just below a periphery of the front wall for gaining access into the enclosure;   a laminated zipper sealably coupled along a periphery of the elongated slot and configured to sealably close the elongated slot;   a flexible handle coupled to the rear wall and adjacent to the elongated slot; and   an elongated strap that has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the elongated strap is coupled to the front wall just below the elongated slot, the elongated strap has an outer surface and an inner surface, a tip portion of the inner surface of the elongated strap at the distal end has a layer of a first member of mating members of a hook and loop fastener, the outer surface of the elongated strap has a layer of a second member of the mating members of the hook and loop fastener,   wherein the elongated strap configured to wrap around rolled pest-proof bag and the first member of the mating members coupled to the second member of the mating member,   wherein an inner and an outer surface of the enclosure are laminated and plain.
