Abstract
A circumferential closure for a bag which permits hinged opening of the bag at substantially all position on the circumference and selected full or partial closure. The closure comprises a single zipper (or similar closure mechanism) track wherein one end overlaps the track of the other end by being inserted therewithin. The zipper mechanism comprises four pull elements in two sets, arranged such that juxtaposition (or separated) sequence of the two sets of pairs provides for full closure of the zipper and wherein disposal of a set of pairs between another set of pairs provides for full opening of the zipper, wherein the closure is hinged at the site of the zippers.
