1. An improved closure for electrostatic bags, said closure having a closed position and an open position and comprising:

  • first and second substantially flat elongate rails which are substantially parallel when said closure is in said closed position;

    support means having generally V-shaped configuration attaching said first and second flat elongated rails to a hinge means respectively for permitting said rails to move from said closed position to said open position;

    latch means for maintaining said rails in said closed position, said latch means slideable between a first closed position and a second position for opening of said closure whereby said closure operated by the translation of said latch therebetween;

    said first and second rails having flat mating areas for clamping said electrostatic bags;

    said first rail having at least one elongated protrusion and said second rail having at least one corresponding elongated recess in alignment therewith when said closure is in said closed position; and

    said closure being formed of a material having good anti-static properties, and more specifically having a resistivity equal to or less than that of the anti-static range of materials;

    said V-shaped support means and said hinge means being formed of a single unitary member having a substantially constant resistivity equal to or less than that of the anti-static range of materials;

    said V-shaped support means including two supports each of which has a notch on its outer surface for engagement by said latch means; and

    a handle means attached to said V-shaped support means and extending generally transversely therefrom for grasping and holding said closure, and for retaining said latch means as part of the closure assembly.
