• Figure 1 is a perspective view from the front of a bag constructed according to an embodiment of this invention.
• Figure 2 is a detailed front elevation of the bag when in closed position.
• Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the manner of reversing the combined supporting band and closure from a supporting to a closing position.
• Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
• Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
• Figure 6 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 2.
• Figure 7 is a fragmentary vertical section of one of the upper corners of the bag, showing the reversing loop or tape.
• the numerals l0 and H designate the front and rear walls of a fabric or flexible bag which are secured together at their lower ends by stitching l2.
