Title: Mitten/glove shaped zip bag

Description:
BACK GROUND FIELD OF INVENTION  
       [0001] The invention of this application relates to bags with closure means. It specifically relates to bags with a zip type closure. This invention offers a mitten or glove shaped bag with a zip closure mechanism.  
       BACK GROUND PRIOR ART  
       [0002] Many types of bags, different types of mitten and glove shaped bags, and many types of permanent and resealed bag closure mechanisms have been introduced to the market place, but none of the prior art introduced a mitten or a glove shaped bag incorporating a closure mechanism in general and a zip type closure system specifically.  
       OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES  
       [0003] To provide a bag that combines the grabbing advantages of a mitten shaped bag with the advantages of a closure mechanism in general and a zip closure mechanism specifically. The mitten or glove shaped bag, turned inside out, can be placed on a person&#39;s hand. The person can grab an object with the mitten or glove shaped bag without touching it with their bare hand. Then, the person can turn the bag outside out with their second hand, and seal the zip closure in order to contain the object in the bag. This is easier and more cost effective than using a glove or a scoop to grab an object and a separate bag to enclose it as is done today. The mitten or glove shaped zip bag can be used to collect litter, food, forensic material, as well as many other objects.
