Closure Device for Reclosable Bag

Abstract

A reclosable bag comprising a first bag wall and a second bag wall joined along a first side, a second side, and a bottom of the reclosable bag. The reclosable bag having a top that is generally open to allow contents to be placed therein. The reclosable bag has a first closure which further comprises a first male closure element and a first female closure element. The first male closure element and the first female closure element are disposed in an opposing configuration on the first bag wall and the second bag wall. The first male closure element has a first hook portion and a second hook portion. The reclosable bag has a second closure which further comprises a second male closure element and a second female closure element. The second male closure element and the second female closure element are disposed in an opposing configuration on the first bag wall and the second bag wall. The second male closure element has a third hook portion and a fourth hook portion. The first closure defines a first interior opening force and a first exterior opening force. The second closure defines a second interior opening force and a second exterior opening force. The second exterior opening force is not equal to the second interior opening force.
