Abstract
This is an object of the present invention to provide a tying method and member which has strong tying force and restrains itself from vertically shifting on a bag once the neck portion of the bag is tied up therewith. The tying method comprises the steps of fitting a tying member which is substantially a flat plate made of elastic material to an object to be tied up via a second opening, the tying member having a first opening for accommodating the object to be tied up, and mating member, the first opening being provided at one place within the flat plate, the second opening communicating with the first opening, the second opening extending up to the outer peripheral end of the flat plate; tightening the flat plate into substantially a conical shape with the first opening as the apex when the first opening is closed as its diameter is reduced by overlapping both side portions of the flat plate with the second opening as the boundary; and fixing the tying member thus tightened into the conical shape using the mating member. The tying member is a body substantially in the form of a flat plate made of elastic material and formed with the first opening having thorns, the second opening and a member for fixing the conical plate body, the first opening being closed as its diameter is reduced when the tying member is tightened into the conical shape with the first opening as the apex.
