<p>A releasable catch for holding together the body (1) of a bag and a flap (2) of the bag includes a plug member (4) attached to the flap and having a resiliently deformable locking tongue (4b), and a socket member (3) attached at its one end to the bag body and having a gate-shaped locked portion (3a') disposed adjacent the one end of the socket member for slidably receiving and thereafter locking the resiliently deformable locking tongue (4b) to couple the plug member (4) and the socket member (3). The locking tongue (4b) is tilted toward a backward side of the plug member (4) at a predetermined angle ( theta ) relative to a plane of an attachment portion (3c). When the locking tongue (4b) of the plug member (4) is locked into the socket member (3), the bent plug member (4) tends to turn the socket member (3) about the fixed one end toward the bag body (1), so that the other or loose end of the socket member (3) is always held in contact with a front surface of the bag body (1) regardless of the content of the bag. The releasable catch thus constructed is sightly in appearance, can be manipulated reliably with utmost ease, and damages neither itself nor another article on impingement with the latter. <IMAGE></p> |
