Title: Apparatus for hanging a resealable bag

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     The present U.S. patent application claims priority from earlier filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61-133342 filed Jun. 30, 2008 and entitled “Adapter Hanger for Resealable Storage Bag” which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention generally relates to storage or packaging systems using resealable bags and, more particularly, to improved apparatus and methods for supporting such bags on a support rod of a storage or display rack, without having to first remove other bags from the support rod. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     Many different kinds of plastic storage bags are presently available for storing all kinds of goods to protect the goods from deterioration or contamination, or just as a means of packaging various types of products. Among the more useful of plastic bags for storing goods are those that are equipped with resealable closures, which enable secure closure and re-use of the bag. An example of a typical resealable storage bag is illustrated in  FIG. 2B . The bag is sealed by moving the slider in one direction and unsealed by moving the slider in the opposite direction. Another example of a typical resealable storage bag is illustrated in  FIG. 2A . The bag is sealed by moving a finger and thumb to interlock two closure profiles and unsealed by pulling apart the sidewalls of the bag to separate the closure profiles. 
     One disadvantage of the conventional resealable storage bag is that there is no convenient way to hang the bag, along with other similar bags, in an organized fashion. U.S. Pat. No. 5,908,245 issued to Bost, et al., discloses a resealable bag having a centrally-positioned tab attached to the upper part of the bag with a hole provided through the tab for hanging the bag on an open ended rod. Published U.S. patent application Ser. No. US2003/0210836 issued to Strand, discloses a resealable bag with a tab extension from the slider that includes a hole in the tab, also for hanging the bag on an open ended rod. The requirement for an open ended rod is a disadvantage because a bag having a hole as the only means for hanging the bag requires the removal of other bags that may be hung on the same support rod in order to access the bag of interest. Removal of several or many such storage bags, particularly if they must be removed and replaced in a specific sequential order, is laborious and time-consuming. Moreover, a rod supported only at one end cannot support as much weight as a rod supported at both ends. 
     Other solutions in the prior art include U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,768 issued to Siegel and U.S. Pat. No. 3,462,068 issued to Suominen, both of which provide a centrally located hook fixed to the upper part of the resealable bag. These solutions provide a hook for hanging on a rod supported at both ends, an improvement over bags that lack such a hook. 
     Another solution in the prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 7,004,629 to Strader et al. that modifies the closure slider of a resealable bag to provide a support hook. This solution provides a hook that may be attached only to bags containing items needing hanging, an improvement over bags with fixed hooks. However, the fact that the bag with the modified slider needs to be unsealed to hang level with a balanced load reduces the benefit of using a resealable bag. 
     There remains a need for cost effective and practical ways to store items. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly there is disclosed a hanger for supporting individual resealable storage bags on a support rod. A resealable storage bag may be constructed or modified to facilitate attachment to a support hanger configured to be attached to the bag. When attached to the bag, the support hanger may extend upward from an upper portion of the storage bag. The support bag may be dimensioned to receive the support rod. The resealable bag modified with the hanger may be hooked over the support rod at any available location along the support rod without requiring the removal of other storage bags supported on the support rod, and be rotated on the support rod to show the front or back faces of the resealable bag and hanger. In an alternate embodiment, the hanger is attached to a resealable bag having preformed attachment apertures. 
     Further aspects of the invention and feature of example embodiments are described below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to resealable storage bags suitable for being supported by hangers which hold the storage bag and its contents on a supporting rod. The supporting rod may be round in cross-section such as found in a display rack typically but not exclusively within a retail setting, in closets as a rod from which clothing hangers are supported, as the larger transverse wire of wire shelving, and as a hook of a pegboard storage system. The rod may have other shapes in alternative embodiments. Another aspect of the invention relates to a thin film plastic storage bag having a closure fastening device including two closure profiles operable for being interlocked continuously over a predetermined length. 
     Generally, storage bags having closure devices are well known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,345 to Scheibner is an example of the type of storage bag which can be used with the present invention, and the disclosure of this patent is incorporated herein by reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,020,194 to Herrington et al. is another example of the type of storage bag which can be used with the present invention, and the disclosure of this patent is incorporated herein by reference. 
     In carrying the invention into effect, several embodiments have been selected for illustration in the accompanying drawings and for description in this specification, reference being had to  FIGS. 1 ,  1 B,  1 C,  1 D,  1 E,  2 A,  2 B,  2 C,  2 D,  3 A,  3 B,  3 C,  3 D,  3 E,  3 F,  4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D,  4 E,  4 F,  4 G,  4 H,  4 I,  4 J,  5 ,  6 ,  7 A,  7 B,  7 C,  8 ,  9 ,  10 ,  11 ,  12 ,  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  17 ,  18 ,  19 ,  20 ,  21 ,  22 ,  23 ,  24 ,  25 ,  26 , and  27 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 1B , there is shown a template hanger  25  that schematically illustrates one aspect of the present invention. The template hanger  25  includes a mechanism (not shown) for attachment to a storage bag. The specifics of attachment varies from bag to bag depending on the features of the given bag. The specifics of attachment are embodied as specific attachment assemblies disposed at attachment sites. The specific attachment assemblies in combination with any or all of the features of the template hanger  25  may define some of the various embodiments of the present invention including the preferred embodiment and the alternative embodiments disclosed below. Any hanger in the set of embodiments of the present invention is defined as a valid hanger. The template hanger  25  has many aspects of a hanger of the present invention that may be included in the various embodiments that realize a valid hanger. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2C , a resealable bag is shown generally at  8 C. The resealable bag  8 C has a header  114  above a closure device  16  and a vertical center line C 10 . The storage bag  8 C may have attachment apertures  19 ,  22  disposed in the header  114 , and have sides  14 ,  15 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 2B , another type of a resealable bag is shown generally at  508 . The resealable bag  508  has a closure device  516  and a closure slider  615  at the top edges  519 ,  520 , and a vertical centerline C 510  (see  FIG. 3B ). The bag  508  may have attachment apertures  19 A,  22 A disposed below the closure device  516  and near the side edges  514 ,  515  of the bag. 
     Variations of the resealable bag  508  and the resealable bag  8  attach to valid hangers of the present invention. Referring to  FIG. 2D , shown generally at  88  is a resealable bag representing the common features of both the storage bag  8  and the bag  508  that relate to the features of the template hanger  25 . The resealable bag  88  has a closure device  16 A (not shown), a vertical center-line C 710 , a front face, a back face, sides  814 ,  815  and attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B (not shown). Closure devices and attachment apertures are defined for the storage bag  8  and the bag  508  but at different locations, so that while present on bag  88  closure devices and attachment apertures are not shown. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1B , the template hanger  25  includes a hanger body  26 A having a hook  23 A and attachment sites  85 ,  87 , and a holding section  72 . The attachment sites  85 ,  87  approximately locate where any two specific attachment assemblies of a valid hanger may be disposed. Generic references to two attachment assemblies from the set of possible specific attachment assemblies are given as attachment assembly  85 A, and as attachment assembly  87 A. The hanger body  26 A may attach with attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A (not shown) disposed at the attachment sites  85 ,  87  to the suspended resealable bag  88  (shown in phantom). 
     A valid hanger may have two or more attachment sites locating two or more attachment assemblies. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1C , the hook  23 A allows the suspended resealable bag  88  to be hung from a support rod  7  or bracket or mounted hook. The support rod  7  may have a substantially circular cross-section, and a center-line C 7 . The template hanger  25  allows the storage bag  88  to be installed on or removed from the support rod  7  without sequential installation or removal of other bags supported on the rod. The hook  23 A is configured to allow the template hanger  25  to hang from the support rod  7  at a load-contact point P 32  defined on the template hanger  25 . When an evenly distributed moderate load is supported in the storage bag  88  attached to the template hanger  25  hanging from the support rod  7  a vertical load axis A 32  is defined to pass through the load-contact point P 32 . The template hanger  25  suspending the storage bag  88  with a load may be rotated on the support rod  7  to travel roughly about the load axis A 32  to expose the bag&#39;s  88  front face or back face. The angle of rotation relative to the center-line C 7  of the support rod  7  is between 30 degrees and 150 degrees. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1D , the holding section  72  is disposed horizontally from the hook  23 A. The holding section  72  has a minimum length and width to receive a person&#39;s hand comfortably and conveniently in gripping or holding fashion to facilitate carrying the suspended bag  88 . The holding section  72  may be textured with bumps  76  (see  FIG. 1B ) to improve grip friction. The holding section  72  may include a handle aperture  75  to improve holding by a hand. The holding section  72  may extend horizontally beyond the side edge  15  of the suspended bag  88 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 1D , the template hanger  25  may include a label section  77 . The label section  77  may allow an identifier or a label having an identifier to be received for display. The label section  77  may be disposed horizontally from the handle, may extend vertically below the bottom  427  of the holding section  72  and may extend below the top  88 A of the suspended bag  88 . Vertical extension allows any displayed identifiers to be positioned apart from the holding section  72  to be kept clean of hand oils and dirt. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1B , the template hanger  25  is sized to attach to a particular horizontal width of bag  88 . The first attachment site  85  is vertically collinear or forward of the load-contact point P 32 . The second attachment site  87  is behind the first attachment site  85  and vertically collinear or rearward of the load-contact point P 32 . When the template hanger  25  is attached to the storage bag  88  the load-contact point P 32  is collinear with the vertical center-line C 710  of the storage bag  88 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 1B , the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A (not shown) disposed at attachment sites  85 ,  87  to attach a valid hanger to the suspended resealable bag  88  (see  FIG. 2C ) may co-operate with one or more attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B disposed on the storage bag  88 . The attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B may be preformed on the storage bag  88 . The attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B may be formed by the hanger body  26 A during the attachment process. Attachment deformations (not shown) may result from attachment apertures incompletely formed by the attachment process. 
     The attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B co-operate with the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A to align the load-contact point P 32  collinear with the vertical center-line C 710  of the attached bag  88 . The attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B may co-operate with the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A by the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B being proximate to each other and the vertical center line C 710  the same way that the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A are proximate to each other and the vertical load axis A 32  of the template hanger  25 . 
     The storage bag  88  has one or more preformed attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B that may co-operate with the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A of the hanger body  26 A to secure the bag to a valid hanger. The co-operation may include the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B stretching and/or deforming around the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A. The co-operation may also include the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B stretching and/or deforming between the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A. The shape of the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A the distance between the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A relative to the distance between the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B, the resilience of the hanger material, and the resilience of the bag material may be used to stretch and/or deform the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B around and between the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A. 
     Valid hangers that have attachment assemblies that insert into preformed attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B may be formed from resilient materials that help the hanger flex and align with the attachment apertures  19 B,  22 B. 
     The storage bag  8  and the bag  508  with or without preformed attachment apertures may be attached to different embodiments of the present invention, and may be detached from same. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4A  a tabbed hanger generally shown at  25 W is an example valid hanger where the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A are realized as outwardly projecting tabs  34 ,  35  co-formed with the hanger body  26 A. Referring to  FIG. 1E , the storage bag  8  has preformed attachment apertures that may receive the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  of the tabbed hanger  25 W. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4F , an arrowhead hanger generally shown at  25 T is an example valid hanger where the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A are realized as outwardly facing arrowhead-like tabs  34 A,  35 A co-formed with the hanger body  26 A. The arrowhead-like tabs  34 A,  35 A have narrow or pointed distal convergent ends  214 ,  215  and have step shoulders  216 ,  217  intermediate of the distal ends  214 ,  215  and the hanger body  26 A. Referring to  FIG. 8 , the storage bag  8  or the bag  508  to be attached to the arrowhead hanger  25 T may not have attachment apertures. The storage bag  8  or the bag  508  may be disposed across the arrowhead-like tabs  34 A,  35 A, pulled onto the tabs and pulled over the shoulders  216 ,  217  (see  FIG. 4F ) so that the storage bag  8  or the bag  508  is pierced to form attachment apertures and is suspended from the arrowhead-like tabs  34 A,  35 A to engage the newly formed attachment apertures. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , the storage bag  8  having no preformed attachment apertures may have its center-line C 10  vertically aligned with the load-contact point P 32  of a valid hanger such as the arrowhead hanger  25 T with the aid of a registration tab  121 . The registration tab  121  may be a tab downwardly projecting from the holding section  72 . The furthest extent of the registration tab  121  is disposed from the vertical load axis A 32  a distance equal to half the width of the attaching bag  8 . The registration tab  121  is inserted into the storage bag  8  and disposed against the side edge  15  of the storage bag  8 . The registration tab  121  may be used to hold the storage bag  8  firmly against the hanger while at least one attachment opening is formed and at least one of the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A engaged with the storage bag  88 . The bag may be freed from the registration tab  121  to help form other apertures, and to ready the storage bag  8  for use. 
     Materials for valid hangers that may operate on the storage bag  88  to form attachment apertures  85 ,  87  may be stiff and hard capable of holding an edge or point and remaining straight under the force of piercing the storage bag  88 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 4D , a one-tab hanger generally shown at  25 H is an example valid hanger where the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A are realized as a tab  734  and a piercing pin  623  that is confined by pin holder  621  to be parallel with the hanger body  26 A and having a center-line axis C 626 . The piercing pin  623  is moveable in one dimension along the center-line axis C 626 . Referring to  FIG. 3D  the bag shown generally as  8 D is a bag having a header and one attachment aperture  819 . To attach the storage bag  8 D to the one-tab hanger  25 H the tab  734  is inserted into attachment aperture  819 . The piercing pin  623  is withdrawn from pin holder  621  to allow the storage bag  8 D to occlude the opening of the pin holder  621  and block the travel path of the piercing pin  623 . The piercing pin  623  may be disposed in pin holder to pierce and suspend the storage bag  8 D (see  FIG. 9  and  FIG. 10 ). 
     Referring to  FIG. 4G , a clasp hanger generally shown at  25   p  is an example valid hanger where the attachment assemblies  85 A,  87 A are realized as a clasp  810 A configured with a first part or a skirt  4  and a second part or a rotating skirt  810  coupled together via a living hinge  172  whereby the first and second parts may be folded toward each other.

The rotating-body section  361  and the fixed-body section  369  may fold towards and away from each other to co-operate with the attached bag  508  while the bag  508  is in use. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4B , the rotating-body section  361  and the fixed-body section  369  may be biased to dispose the attached bag  508  substantially planar. A planar orientation helps the bag  508  to be installed on or removed from the support rod  7 . Referring to  FIG. 7C , biasing may take the form of the living hinge  174  having center axis C 174  being inclined relative to the vertical load axis A 32 . Referring to  FIG. 4B , biasing may take the form of first and second members  184 ,  182  of an interference fastener co-operating to resist being separated. The first and second members  184 ,  182  of the interference fastener may include the first and second parts of a garment snap fastener or a pawl and ledge combination fastener. The first and second members  184 ,  182  may be co-formed with the fixed-body section  369  and rotating-body section  361 , respectively. The first and second members  184 ,  182  are disposed to allow the members to engage and formed to resist being separated to bias the attached bag  508  to be disposed substantially planar. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4C , the hook  23 A defines a J-shaped slot  23  having a bowl  23 B and a stem  23 C where the load-contact point P 32  is coincident with the upper most point in the bowl  23 B. The stem  23 C parallels the pathway to be traveled by the support rod  7  moving towards or away from the load-contact point P 32  to hook or unhook the hanger, respectively. The furthest extent of the J-shape hook  23 A that helps form the bowl  23 B of the J-shaped slot  23  is disposed between the bowl  23 B and the stem  23 C as burr  287  to increase the aggressiveness of the hook. The J-shaped slot  23  is sized to receive the support rod  7 . The bowl  23 B is sized to allow the hanger to be rotated on the support rod  7  about the vertical load axis A 32  to be able to display the front or the back of the hanger and the suspended bag. It may be that the bowl  23 B is substantially oval with its minor axis collinear with the vertical load axis A 32 . It may be that the J-shape hook  23 A is oriented to be upright or reclined. (The reclined orientation is shown in  FIG. 4C .) 
     The continued disclosure below teaches in detail possible constructions of the hanger of the present invention and the resealable bags that attach to them. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates a plurality of resealable storage bags generally shown at  8 , each having a header  114  attached to a hanger  25 A that embodies the present invention. The hanger  25 A has a head  26  adapted for hanging the storage bag  8  on a support rod  7  which may be supported between two surfaces  240 ,  241  (not shown), at both of its ends, e.g., at  242  and  243  (shown in phantom), respectively, without having to remove any other storage bag from the rod. Many more storage bags may be supported on a support rod supported at both ends, for a given size support rod and storage bag. Further, any individual bag attached to an hanger according to the present invention may be located anywhere on the support rod and may be removed or installed without having to remove other bags beforehand to gain access to the position for the bag. 
       FIG. 2A  illustrates a front facing orthogonal view of a resealable storage bag generally shown at  8  typical of the bags the present invention adapts for hanging on support rods. The resealable storage bag  8  has sidewalls  11  and  12  which are typically thin, flexible, transparent plastic film which has been folded along bottom edge  13  and heat sealed along vertical side edges  14  and  15  to define a pouch having pouch access  519 A. Sidewall  12  includes top edge  312 , inside surface  112  disposed opposite sidewall  11 , and includes outside surface  113  (not shown). Sidewall  11  includes top edge  314 .

The storage bag  8  (Best viewed in  FIG. 3A .) has vertical center-line C 10 , and side edges  14 ,  15  spaced apart a horizontal length dimension L 13 . Interior corner  923  (not shown) is disposed interior of the storage bag  8  opposite side edge  15 . 
       FIG. 2B  illustrates an alternative embodiment of the resealable storage bag  8  shown in  FIG. 2A , generally shown at  508 . The storage bag  508  has sidewalls  511  and  512  which are typically thin, flexible, transparent plastic film which has been folded along bottom edge  513  and heat sealed along vertical side edges  514  and  515  to define a pouch. The sidewall  512  includes top edge  520 , inside face  522  disposed opposite the sidewall  511 , and includes outside face  521  (not shown). The sidewall  511  includes top edge  519 , and outside face  555 . As best viewed in  FIG. 3B , the vertical side edges  514  and  515  are spaced apart length dimension L 513 . The storage bag  508  has vertical center-line C 510 . 
     The storage bag  508  includes a separable closure device  516  such as described in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,020,194. The separable closure device  516  includes at the top edges  519  and  520  extending along the length thereof resealable interlocking rib and groove profile closure profiles  517  and  518 , respectively. A closure slider  615  straddles the closure profiles  517 ,  518  and is adapted for opening or closing the said closure profiles. Referring to  FIG. 3B , the bag closure device  516  functions in the manner of a zipper as the closure slider  615  is moved in one direction, towards position  515 A to seal the bag, and in the opposite direction, towards position  514 A to unseal the bag. 
     It may be that the storage bag  508  includes apertures  19 A,  22 A disposed below the closure device  516  and adjacent to the side edges  514 ,  415 , respectively. It may be that the storage bag  508  includes seals  19 S,  22 S (shown in phantom) that isolates the space near apertures  19 A,  22 A from the space interior to the storage bag  508 . The seals  19 S,  22 S may be formed by heat sealing parts of the sidewalls  511 ,  512  of the storage bag  508  together. 
       FIG. 2C  illustrates an alternative embodiment of the resealable storage bag  8  shown in  FIG. 2A , generally shown at  8 C, having apertures  19 ,  22  disposed on the header  114 . Storage bag  8 C may incorporate any or all of the features and attributes of storage bag  8 . Referring to  FIG. 3C , the horizontal center-lines of the apertures  19 , and  22  are coincident and are identified as center-line C 12 . Horizontal center-line C 12  is disposed from the top edge  312  a vertical length dimension L 22 . The apertures  19  and  22  may be circular through holes or voids having diameter dimension L 3  and circumferences coincident with header hole edges  117  and  118 , respectively, and having vertical center-lines C 19  and C 22 , respectively. 
     The apertures  19 , and  22  may be formed on the resealable storage bag  8  either during the formation of the storage bag  8 C, or subsequent thereto by a suitable cutting or punching operation. 
     To afford conventional resealable storage bags representative of the storage bag  8  utilized by one embodiment of this invention to be conveniently converted into bags representative of the storage bags  8 C utilized by an alternative embodiment of this invention, provision may be given to add apertures representative of the apertures  19  and  22  to the conventional storage bags  8 . In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 3C , the horizontal spaced separation of the aperture  19  from the aperture  22  is given as horizontal length dimension L 5 . Commonly available at retail office supply outlets are conventional stationery hole punches (not shown) having two laterally disposed hole punches having diameter dimension L 47  and spaced apart a horizontal length dimension L 45 , or having three re-positionable laterally disposed hole punches having diameter dimension L 48  where any two consecutive hole punches may be disposed from each other a horizontal distance equal to the horizontal length dimension L 45  of the two hole punch. It is a simple matter for a user using one of the conventional stationery hole punches to convert a conventional resealable storage bag representative of the storage bag  8  into one representative of the storage bag  8 C. Within the North American stationery industry, the horizontal length dimension L 45  is standardized to be 2.75 inches. Other standards may exist for foreign markets. The horizontal length dimension L 5  is equal to the horizontal length dimension L 45 . The provision to add apertures representative of the apertures  19  and  22  to the conventional storage bags  8  may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 5  separating the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  being equal to the horizontal length dimension L 45  separating the punches of standard two hole stationery punches. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the horizontal length dimension L 5  separating the aperture  19  from the aperture  22  and the horizontal length dimension L 45  separating the punches of standard two hole stationery punches, convenient conversion of resealable storage bags representative of the storage bag  8  into bags representative of the storage bags  8 C may be afforded. 
     Some embodiments of this invention include a valid hanger, a template to position a one or multi-hole punch, may include a single-hole or a multi-hole punch, and may include a storage bag representative of the storage bag  8 . The template may allow a user to hole punch apertures representative of the apertures  19  and  22  to convert a bag representative of the storage bag  8  into bags representative of the storage bag  8 C.

       FIG. 3F  shows an alternative embodiment of the resealable storage bag  8 E shown in  FIG. 3E , generally shown as resealable storage bag  8 F, having apertures  919 ,  919 A, and  919 B having horizontal center-line C 912  disposed on the header  114 . The horizontal center-line C 912  is disposed from top edge  312  a vertical length dimension L 922 . Aperture  919  may be a rounded-corner rectangular through hole or void having maximum horizontal length dimension L 903 , vertical length dimension L 63 , and vertical center-line C 919  coincident with storage bag vertical center-line C 10 . Apertures  919 A,  919 B may be through holes or voids having diameter dimension L 903 A and vertical center lines  919   c ,  919   d  spaced equally on opposite sides of the vertical center-line C 10  a length dimension L 904 . 
     One alternative embodiment of the present invention seeks to attach to resealable storage bag  8 E for hanging on support rods. 
     The different embodiments of the resealable storage bag disclosed above attach to alternative embodiments of the hanger of the present invention having specific attachment assemblies. A valid hanger suitably attached to a resealable storage bag that may support a moderate load defines a package  9 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 7A , there is illustrated a template hanger shown generally at  25 . Template hanger  25  is an example embodiment of features and attributes that may be available to any or all hangers of the present invention. Template hanger  25  includes means for attachment to a bag or other item to be supported. Such means are not illustrated in  FIG. 7A . The preferred and the alternative embodiments of the hanger of the present invention include means to attach to a resealable bag and may incorporate any or all of the features and attributes of template hanger  25 . The preferred and the alternative embodiments generally differ in their means of attaching to a given embodiment of resealable storage bag to which the hanger is matched, and differ in the additional features required to support the different means of attachment. The preferred and the alternative embodiments are examples of valid hangers of the present invention. 
     As best viewed in  FIG. 7A , the template hanger  25  comprises a thin rectangular member with a head  26  having upper end  913 , lower end  914 , outer vertical side edge  27 , front planar surface  917  having normal axis X 917  (not shown), and back planar surface  918  (not shown). Arms  28 ,  29  extend outwardly in opposite directions from the lower end  914 , have equal vertical length dimension L 2 , and have outer vertical edges  281 ,  291 , respectively, spaced apart a horizontal length dimension L 17 . It may be that the upper end of arm  29  is merged with the lower end of holding section  72  (as is the case shown in  FIG. 7A ) which is described below. Together, the arms  28 ,  29 , and the lower end  914  define a skirt  4  having top edge  428 . 
     To removably support a package  9  on the support rod  7  provision may be given to the template hanger  25  to hook on and unhook from the support rod  7 . In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 7A , the head  26  has an internally formed hook  23 A. The hook  23 A includes a reclined J-shaped slot  23  disposed with a bowl  23 B above a stem  23 C having an outwardly tapered mouth  24  opening coincidentally with the side edge  27  of the head  26 , and having a terminating end coincident with locating edge  61  of the head  26 , and having an upper convex end coincident with downwardly disposed load transmitting concave edge  32  adjacent to locating edge  61 . Referring to  FIG. 7B , the tapered mouth  24  is designed to facilitate easy guidance onto a support rod  7  of known diameter. The J-shaped slot  23  is designed such that for any supporting rod of known diameter or smaller, the hanging of a storage bag (not shown) and its subsequent removal can be effected by the user. The provision to hook the template hanger  25  on the support rod  7  may be provided by the tapered mouth  24  allowing the support rod  7  to be received into the J-shaped slot  23  up to the locating edge  61  and by having the support rod  7  be able to rest underneath the concave edge  32  to support the template hanger  25 , when the template hanger  25  is attached to a storage bag as described below. At rest on support rod  7  the rigidity of the template hanger  25  continues to support the attached storage bag. The provision to unhook the template hanger  25  on the support rod  7  may be provided by the J-shaped slot  23  yielding smooth passage to the support rod  7  from its received rested position underneath the concave edge  32  to the tapered mouth  24 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the head  26 , the support rod  7 , the concave edge  32 , the J-shaped slot  23  and the rigidity of the head  26 , a package  9  may be removably supportable on the support rod  7 . 
     To prevent inadvertent disengagement of a package  9  from the support rod  7 , where the hanger is attached to a storage bag provision may be given to limit the motion of the template hanger  25  relative to the support rod  7 . In the illustrated embodiment of the template hanger  25  best viewed in  FIG. 7B , the head  26  having the J-shaped slot  23  defines burr  287  as the portion of the head  26  that partially separates the bowl  23 B from the stem  23 C. The burr  287  curves around a part of the lower portion of the support rod  7  when the support rod  7  rests underneath the concave edge  32  to limit the vertical freedom of motion of the support rod  7  relative to the template hanger  25 . The burr  287  forces the support rod  7  to move horizontally relative to the concave edge  32  to exit from the template hanger  25  along the specific pathway defined by the J-shaped slot  23 . The provision to limit the motion of the template hanger  25  on the support rod  7  may be given by the burr  287  limiting the vertical freedom of motion of the support rod  7  when the support rod  7  supports the template hanger  25  underneath the concave edge  32 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the J-shaped slot  23 , the burr  287  and the support rod  7 , a package  9  may be afforded prevention from inadvertent disengagement from the support rod  7 . 
     To afford convenient handling of a package  9  provision may be given to carry the template hanger  25 . In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 7A  the head  26  is integrally formed with outwardly extending holding section  72  disposed laterally from the head  26  above the arms  28  and  29 . The holding section  72  has end section  99  and an outer vertical edge  179  that may be disposed generally aligned with the storage bag side edge  15  or beyond when a hanger is attached to a storage bag, as described below. The holding section  72  has bottom edge  427 , and has vertical length dimension L 12  that is sized to allow a user to conveniently grasp the holding section  72  between fingers and thumb so that the head  26  and the arm  28  are cantilevered from a user&#39;s hand when the user grasps the template hanger  25  by the holding section  72 . Optionally, the holding section  72  may have a handle aperture  75  (See  FIG. 1D ) that accepts one or more fingers to improve the user&#39;s grasp of the template hanger  25 , or the holding section  72  may be textured, for example by depressed dimples, small through voids, or raised bumps  76  (see  FIG. 7B ), to improve the friction or interference with the grasp of the user. The template hanger  25  has front planar surface  917  having normal axis X 917  (see  FIG. 7B ). The template hanger  25  is of a material and a thickness that makes template hanger  25  rigid about the normal axis X 917  when the attached storage bag carries moderate load. The provision to carry the template hanger  25  may be given by the holding section  72  and optionally the handle aperture or void  75  (not shown) or by depressed dimples, small through voids, or raised bumps  76  (see  FIG. 7B ), the rigidity of the holding section  72  and its vertical length dimension L 12 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements between the holding section  72 , the vertical length dimension L 12 , the rigidity of the template hanger  25  about the normal axis X 917 , and optionally the surface texture of the holding section  72  or the handle aperture or void  75 , the convenient handling of a package  9  may be afforded. 
     To afford viewing a given package  9  hung on the support rod  7  in tandem with a series of similar packages  9  that generally occlude each other, provision may be given to the template hanger  25  to be rotatable on the support rod  7 . The template hanger  25  is rotatable in a horizontal arc such that an occluding package  9  or a set of occluding packages  9  can be rotated to expose the face of a previously occluded bag and expose the label section  77  of a valid hanger. In the illustrated embodiment of the template hanger  25  best viewed in  FIG. 11  (storage bag not shown for clarity), the J-shaped slot  23  is co-formed with the locating edge  61  and the load transmitting concave edge  32  (See  FIG. 7A ) to cooperatively receive the horizontal support rod  7  obliquely. Support rod  7  may have a cross-section that is substantively circular and has center-line C 7  that may be disposed, at an acute angle A 2  shown by position M or an obtuse angle A 1  shown by position N (shown in phantom), relative to the front planar surface  917  of the template hanger  25 . The bowl  23 B of the J-shaped slot  23  may be substantively oval-shaped having a minor axis collinear with the vertical load axis A 32 . When the template hanger  25  is disposed in position M or position N, the support rod  7  may contact and support the concave edge  32  of the template hanger  25  at the load-contact point P 32 . The template hanger  25  may rotate about the load-contact point P 32  relative to the support rod  7  to be disposed at any angle within an arc A 3  bounded by the acute angle A 2  and the obtuse angle A 1 . The acute angle A 2  is suggested to be about 30 degrees, the obtuse angle A 1  is suggested to be 150 degrees, and the arc A 3  suggested to sweep about 120 degrees. The provision to have the template hanger  25  be rotatable on the support rod  7  within a horizontal arc may be given by the bowl  23 B of the J-shaped slot  23  being substantively oval-shaped and co-formed with the locating edge  61  and the load transmitting concave edge  32  to cooperatively receive the horizontal support rod  7  that a valid hanger contacts the support rod  7  at the load-contact point P 32 . And, provision may be given by the template hanger  25  being able to rotate about the load-contact point P 32  through the arc A 3  without interference from the J-shaped slot  23 , the locating edge  61 , and the load transmitting concave edge  32 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the J-shaped slot  23 , the locating edge  61 , the load transmitting concave edge  32 , the support rod  7 , and the load-contact point P 32 , a package  9  hung on the support rod  7  in tandem with a series of similar packages  9  that generally occlude each other may be afforded viewing. 
     In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 7B , the load-contact plane  700  is a vertical plane that passes through the load-contact point P 32  and is perpendicular to the front planar surface  917  of the template hanger  25 . 
     To afford easy alpha-numeric identification of goods stored within a package  9  provision may be given to label template hanger  25  before or after it is attached to the storage bag. In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 7A , the end section  99  of the holding section  72  is integrally formed with label section  77 . The label section  77  may include downwardly projecting label tab  78  that may have inside edge  79  horizontally spaced apart from the load-contact point P 32  a length dimension L 10 . The horizontal length dimension L 10  is slightly greater than half of the horizontal length dimension L 13  separating the spaced apart side edges of the storage bag to which the given valid hanger may be attached. When a storage bag is attached to a valid hanger, as described below, the side edge  15  of the said storage bag may be disposed adjacent the inside edge  79 , label section  77  may be disposed beyond the extent of the storage bag  10 , and the downwardly projecting label tab  78  may be disposed below the top edges  312  and  314  of the storage bag  10 . The provision to provide easy alpha-numeric identification of goods stored within package  9  may be given by the label section  77  of the valid hanger being able to accept an applied identification mark by permanent marker, pad printing, or adhesive label, for example, and being vertically wider than the holding section  72  that fingers and thumb grasping the holding section  72  do not smudge or degrade the said identification, when a package  9  is handled as described below. By virtue of the relationships and engagements between the label section  77 , the side edge  15  of an attached storage bag, and an applied alpha-numeric identifier (not shown), the alpha-numeric identification of goods within a package  9  may be afforded. 
     Referring to  FIG. 20 , short-depth storage is defined as a package  9  hanging from a horizontal support rod that is spaced from a vertical parallel wall  931  a horizontal length dimension L 120  that is less than half the horizontal length dimension L 13  separating the spaced apart side edges of the storage bag of package  9 . The horizontal length dimension L 120  separating the support rod  7  from the wall  931  is measured normal to the center-line C 7  of the support rod  7 . Short-depth storage is desirable because it allows space that is smaller than optimal to be used for storage. 
     To afford short-depth storage of a package  9  hung on the support rod  7 , provision may be given to the template hanger  25  to hang obliquely on the support rod  7 . In the illustrated embodiment of template hanger  25  best viewed in  FIG. 20 , the J-shaped slot  23  is co-formed with the locating edge  61  and the load transmitting concave edge  32  to cooperatively receive the horizontal support rod  7  obliquely. The template hanger  25  may be freely received by and disposed on the support rod  7  within the range of angles bounded by the acute angle A 2  and the obtuse angle A 1  (See  FIG. 11 ) relative to the center-line C 7 . The actual angle that the template hanger  25  assumes at rest on the support rod  7  is defined as rest angle A 9 . The concave edge  32  in co-operation with the circular cross-section of the support rod  7  predisposes the rest angle A 9  to be approximately 90 degrees. When the horizontal length dimension L 120  is less than half the length dimension L 13 , a side edge of the storage bag will touch the wall  931  and the template hanger  25  will be received on the support rod  7  at the rest angle A 9  that is acute or obtuse. The horizontal length dimension L 120  may be as small as the length dimension given by the product of half the length dimension L 13  and the Sine of the acute angle A 2  or the obtuse angle A 1 , whichever is smaller, to allow a valid hanger to be received on the support rod  7 . The provision for the template hanger  25  to hang obliquely may be given by the J-shaped slot  23  being able to receive the support rod  7  without interference when the support rod  7  is disposed normal and when it is disposed obliquely to the J-shaped slot. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the J-shaped slot  23 , the locating edge  61 , the load transmitting concave edge  32 , and the support rod  7 , a valid hanger may be afforded oblique disposition on the support rod  7  that is spaced from a vertical parallel wall a distance less than half the horizontal length dimension separating the spaced apart side edges of the attached storage bag. The minimum angle for acute angle A 2  is suggested as 30 degrees. The maximum angle for obtuse angle A 1  is suggested as 150 degrees. 
     To afford aggressive interference of a storage bag or user&#39;s hand with a valid hanger, provision may be given to the template hanger  25  to increase the friction and grasping forces between the template hanger  25  and the storage bag or a user&#39;s hand. The template hanger  25  has horizontal grooves  956  on front and back surface  917 ,  918  (See  FIG. 1D ) that may receive any horizontal ridges disposed on header  114 , such as the ridges given in included U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,345 to Scheibner. The grooves  956  co-operate with the ridges of U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,345 disposed on resealable bags to increase friction and interference between the template hanger  25  and the header  114 , and between the template hanger  25  and the user&#39;s hand, during opening and handling of the attached storage bag by the user as described below. Provision to increase the grasping forces and friction between the template hanger  25  and the storage bag or a user&#39;s hand may be given by the horizontal grooves  956 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements between any horizontal grooves  956  of a valid hanger and any horizontal ridges disposed on the header  114 , increased interference, friction and grasping forces between a valid hanger and the header  114 , and between a valid hanger and a user&#39;s hand, may be afforded. 
     As best viewed in  FIG. 4C , there is illustrated at  25 W a tabbed hanger that is the preferred embodiment of the hanger of the present invention. The tabbed hanger  25 W may be attached to a bag representative of the resealable storage bag  8 C (best viewed in  FIG. 3C ). The tabbed hanger  25 W may embody the template hanger  25  that any or all of the features of the template hanger  25  may be included in tabbed hanger  25 W. The tabbed hanger  25 W may be formed from a resilient material. 
     To afford reversibly attaching the storage bag  8 C to the tabbed hanger  25 W provision may be given to the tabbed hanger  25 W to reversibly anchor storage bag  8 C. In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4C , the tabs  34  and  35  extend outwardly from the arms  28  and  29 , respectively, where the vertical length dimension L 1  of the said tabs is significantly smaller than the vertical length dimension L 2  of the said arms. The shoulders  36  and  37  intermediate of the said tabs and the said arms are formed coincident with the vertical edges  281  and  291 , respectively, of the said arms. The vertical length dimension L 1  of the tabs  34  and  35  is slightly greater than the diameter dimension L 3  of the apertures  19  and  22  (best viewed in  FIG. 3C ). When the tabbed hanger  25 W is attached to the storage bag  8 C, as described below, the said tabs are received in the said apertures and a portion of the material of the header  114  of the storage bag  8 C is tensioned around the tabs  34  and  35 . The provision to anchor the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C may be given by the diameter dimension L 3  of the apertures  19  and  22  deforming and stretching around the vertical length dimension L 1  of the tabs  34  and  36  (best viewed in  FIG. 23 ), respectively. The provision to remove the tabbed hanger  25 W from the storage bag  8 C may be given by the resilience of the material forming the storage bag  8 C so that the tabs  34 ,  36  may pull free from the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , respectively, during the in-use process of detaching the tabbed hanger  25 W from the storage bag  8 C, as described below. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the vertical length dimension L 1  of the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 , the diameter dimension L 3  of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , the resilience of the tabbed hanger&#39;s construction material, and the resilience of the material of the storage bag&#39;s header  114 , reversible attachment of the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C may be afforded. 
     Preferably, the tabbed hanger  25 W is fabricated of a relatively thin, resilient material, such as plastic or laminated wood, that enables the arms, and particularly the arm  28 , to be flexed relative to the head  26  and the arm  29 , such as in the manner described below for in-use anchoring of the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C. 
     To afford convenient handling of the tabbed hanger  25 W and the storage bag  8 C to which it is attached, provision may be given to secure the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C. In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4C , the horizontal length dimension L 17  spacing apart the shoulders  36 ,  37  is slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 5  spacing apart the vertical center-lines C 19 , C 22  of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , respectively (best viewed in  FIG. 3C ). As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , when hanger and bag are assembled, the aperture  19  receives the tab  34  and denies the shoulder  36 , and aperture  22  receives the tab  35  and denies the shoulder  37  such that the sidewall  12  in the general area between the apertures is deformed and stretched across the shoulders  36 ,  37  so that the general area between the apertures lays flat and contacting the said hanger, and so that the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  stretch across the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  and cooperatively pull the opposite shoulders  37 ,  36 , respectively. The arms  28 ,  29  are sufficiently rigid to remain generally co-planar under the tension of the stretched area between the apertures and the moderate load of the goods stored in the storage bag  8 C. The provision to secure the tabbed hanger  25  to the storage bag  8 C may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17  spacing apart the shoulders  36 ,  37  being slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 5  spacing apart the vertical center-lines C 19 , C 22  of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , respectively. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the spaced apart shoulders&#39; horizontal length dimension L 17 , the spaced apart apertures&#39; horizontal length dimension L 5 , the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , the shoulders  36 ,  37 , the tabs  34 ,  35 , and rigidity of the arms  28 ,  29  about the normal axis X 917 , convenient handling of the tabbed hanger  25 W and the storage bag  8 C may be afforded. 
     To afford the storage bag  8 C attached to the tabbed hanger  25 W and containing evenly distributed moderately weighted goods to hang vertical from the support rod  7 , provision may be given to the tabbed hanger  25 W to align substantially vertical the center-line C 10  of storage bag  8 C and have the center-line C 10  intersect with the horizontal center-line C 7  of the support rod  7 . In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4C , the vertical load-contact plane  700  passes through the load-contact point P 32 , and the shoulders  36  and  37  are spaced apart the horizontal length dimension L 17 . Referring to  FIG. 3C , the storage bag  8 C has the vertical center-line C 10 . The storage bag  8 C has the vertical center-lines C 19  and C 22  of the apertures  19  and  22 , respectively, spaced apart the horizontal length dimension L 5 . The shoulder spacing dimension L 17  is slightly greater than the aperture-aperture spacing horizontal dimension L 5 . The aperture center-line C 19  is spaced from the storage bag center-line C 10  by horizontal length dimension L 7  that is substantially equal to the horizontal length dimension L 8  separating the shoulder  36  from the load-contact plane  700 . (Best viewed in  FIG. 23 .) The provision to vertically align the storage bag  8 C when it hangs from the support rod  7  may be given by the horizontal length dimensions of the separations of the aperture center-lines C 19 , C 22  from the storage bag center-line C 10  being substantially equal to the horizontal length dimensions of the separations of the shoulders  36 ,  37  from the load-contact plane  700 , respectively, that the storage bag center-line C 10  lies within the load-contact plane  700 , when the tabbed hanger  25 W is attached to the storage bag  8 C in the manner described below. The provision to have the center-line C 10  align substantially vertical may be given by the vertical center-lines C 19 , C 22  of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , respectively, not being disposed on the same side of the storage bag center-line C 10  and by the apertures  19 ,  22  being spaced from the center line C 10  substantially the same amount as the shoulders  36 ,  37  are from the load-contact plane  700 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements between the spacing length dimension L 8  of the shoulder  36  from the load-contact plane  700  and the spacing length dimension L 17  of the shoulders  36 ,  37  from each other, the spacing length dimension L 7  of the aperture  19  from the storage bag center-line C 10  and the aperture-aperture spacing horizontal dimension L 5  of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  from each other, the rigidity of the arms about the normal axis X 917  (see  FIG. 7B ), the storage bag  8 C attached to the tabbed hanger  25 W and containing evenly distributed goods may be afforded to hang vertical from the support rod  7 . (Lengths are substantially equal to allow the header&#39;s  114  material to stretch.) 
     Referring to  FIG. 23 , to afford the storage bag  8 C to indefinitely support goods of moderate weight from the support rod  7 , provision may be given for the tabbed hanger  25 W to support the storage bag  8 C and any goods of moderate weight contained. The thicknesses of the bearing tabs  34  and  35  are wide enough, and formed to provide a generally smooth bearing surface  57  (not shown), possibly convex, that does not cut into or focus stress onto the header material of the storage bag  8 C in the areas adjacent the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , that the header material does not tear or deform beyond a minimum amount, when the storage bag  8 C is loaded with goods of moderate weight and the tabbed hanger  25 W is attached to the storage bag  8 C as described below. The provision to support goods of moderate weight in the storage bag  8 C when it is assemble with the tabbed hanger  25 W may be given by the bearing surfaces  57  of the tabs  34  and  35  being generally wide and without sharp edges. By virtue of the relationships and engagements between the thickness and roundness of the tab bearing surfaces  57 , and the thickness and resiliency of the material of the header  114  of the storage bag  8 C, the hanger  25 W may be afforded to indefinitely support from the support rod  7  the storage bag  8 C having goods of moderate weight. 
     To afford easy attachment of the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C, provision may be given for the tabbed hanger  25 W to increase the friction and grasping forces between the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  of tabbed hanger  25 W and the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  of the storage bag  8 C so that during its attachment to the storage bag  8 C a dropped tabbed hanger  25 W may be stopped from falling out of an aperture of the storage bag  8 C. The projecting tabs  34 ,  35  have ribs  81  (not shown) that obstruct the free movement or slippage of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  over the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 , respectively. A minimum applied energy defined by the bag&#39;s construction material is required to stretch the said apertures wider than the ribs  81 , or else the said apertures will snag on the ribs  81 . A falling tabbed hanger  25 W has a certain amount of energy associated with it that may be dissipated across one or more successive ribs  81 . The provision to provide for the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  to stop and snag a falling tabbed hanger  25 W may be given by the relative size of the ribs  81  obstructing the free slippage of the attachment apertures  19 ,  22  from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the ribs  81 , the attachment apertures  19 ,  22 , and the plasticity of the material of the header  114 , the tabbed hanger  25 W may be afforded easy attachment to the storage bag  8 C. 
     The operation of the assembly of the tabbed hanger  25 W with the storage bag  8 C according to the present invention is as follows. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , in use, to attach the tabbed hanger  25 W to the storage bag  8 C the arms  28 ,  29  of the tabbed hanger  25 W are disposed between the sidewalls  11 ,  12  generally flat against the header  114 , and are disposed parallel to the top edge  312  so that the aperture  22  is not occluded by the tabbed hanger  25 W. Then, the end of the header  114  is folded forwardly around the outer vertical edge of the tab  35  while the tab  35  is moved laterally relative to the header  114  so that the tab  35  enters into and is received in the aperture  22  and the shoulder  37  is denied entry into the aperture  22  so that the shoulder  37  abuts the header  114  to prevent further travel of the tabbed hanger  25 W relative to the storage bag  8 C in a manner illustrated in  FIG. 6 . The forwardly folded end of the header  114  is then released while the tab  35  is held received in the aperture  22  and the shoulder  37  is held abutted the header  114 . The arm  28  of the tabbed hanger  25 W is then flexed in a back bending arc to align the tab  34  with the aperture  19 . And then, the arm  28  is released so that as it returns to its normally-flat relaxed configuration the tab  34  is received in the aperture  19  and the shoulder  36  abuts the header  114  to tension across the shoulders  36  and  37  the area of the header  114  disposed between the apertures  19  and  22  in the manner illustrated in  FIG. 5 . When thus attached, the tabbed hanger  25 W is prevented from moving either vertically or horizontally relative to the header  114 . Preferably, the tabbed hanger  25 W has a normally flat, relaxed configuration when attached to the storage bag  8 C. 
     In use, the tabbed hanger  25 W can be detached from the storage bag  8 C by reversing the above sequence of steps should such detachment be desirable. 
     The operation of a package  9  that may include the tabbed hanger  25 W and the storage bag  8 C is as follows and is similar for other packages  9 : 
     In use, to carry a package  9 , a user&#39;s fingers and thumb may grasp the valid hanger by grasping the holding section  72  that the head  26  is cantilevered from the user&#39;s hand. 
     In use, to hang a given storage bag when it is attached to a valid hanger, a user carries the given storage bag to have J-shaped slot  23  receive support rod  7  and rests the load-contact point P 32  on the support rod  7  where the given hanger may be disposed obliquely to the support rod  7  and may be pivoted about the load-contact point P 32 . 
     In use, to remove from support rod  7  a package  9 , the above sequence of steps may be reversed should such removal be desirable. 
     In use, a storage bag when it is assembled with a valid hanger, and having occluded closure profiles  17 ,  18  can be separated to open the pouch access  519 A to the interior of the given storage bag. The hanger is vertically higher than the header  114  when the two are assembled, and is disposed between the sidewalls  11 ,  12  that the said hanger and the header  114  are practically automatically squeezed together between the user&#39;s thumb and fingers of one hand when the user reaches out to hold said hanger and header together. The horizontal grooves  956  (not shown) of the said hanger facilitate the said hanger gripping the header and the users thumb, and is practically automatically engaged by the thumb of the user if the user strokes a thumb across the horizontal grooves  956 . The horizontal grooves  956  result in a gripping surface even for a user with slippery fingers. The sidewall  12  and the header  114  grasped in one hand, isolate the sidewall  11  allowing it to be grasped by the opposing hand. The user proceeds to separate said hanger and the sidewall  12  from the sidewall  11  by spreading them to disengage the closure profiles  17  and  18  from each other. 
     Once the closure profiles  17  and  18  are disengaged the user may continue to spread the sidewall  12  and the header  114  from the sidewall  11  so that the sidewall  12  bends in the areas adjacent the outer edges  281 ,  291  of the arms  28 ,  29  of the hanger, and the side edges  14 ,  15  move towards each other. As the side edges  14 ,  15  move towards each other, the pouch access  519 A to the interior of the said storage bag is opened between the said hanger and the sidewall  12  on one side of the pouch access  519 A and the sidewall  11  on the opposing side of the pouch access  519 A. 
     The common method for closing resealable storage bags used with the present invention is described as squeezing the closure profiles  17  and  18  together between the fingers and thumb of one hand as the hand is moved across the approximate length of the closure profiles. A user, in the process of closing the closure device  16  of a storage bag attached to an hanger, arches their palm over the attached hanger and continues closing the closure device  16  as though closing the given storage bag using the common method. Valid hangers are sized to rise above the header  114  as little as is practicable to allow a user&#39;s hand to straddle an attached hanger and comfortably reach the closure device  16  of the storage bag with their fingers and thumb. Users with smaller hands may lie said hanger and bag on a flat surface and close the given storage bag by squeezing the closure profiles  17  and  18  together between said flat surface and fingers or thumb as the hand is moved across the length of the closure profiles. Alternatively, users with smaller hands may fold the header  114  above or below the closure device  16  that the fold-line is now the top most part of the given storage bag and the closure profiles  17 ,  18  are accessible to the user&#39;s hand for closure using a method similar to the common method. 
     In view of the foregoing, it should be apparent that the present invention now provides an improved means to enable goods to be displayed on hooks or support rods using commonly available resealable storage bags similar to those like the storage bag  8 C. The tabbed hanger  25 W is an example of a valid hanger that may be easily attached to the storage bag  8 C or the like. Moreover, a valid hanger may be prevented from being inadvertently disengaged from an attached storage bag or the support rod  7  by its novel shape and cooperation with various apertures of the storage bag. Since the hanger may be fabricated of plastic, laminated wood, or similar material, it is strong, flexible, and resistant to tearing. The hanger may be formed to be thick and more rigid where needed to support a moderate load of goods in the attached storage bag and thin and more flexible where needed to allow for bending during attachment to the storage bag. 
     The tabbed hanger  25 W may be attached to a bag representative of the resealable storage bag illustrated as  8 E in  FIG. 3E , by anyone skilled in the art. 
     While a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, various modifications, alterations and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as described above. Alternative embodiments of the present invention are disclosed below as examples of how the hanger may be modified for other formats of resealable storage bag. 
     In another embodiment of the present invention, arrowhead hanger illustrated at  25 T in  FIG. 4F , may be attached to a bag representative of the resealable storage bag  8  illustrated in  FIG. 2A . The arrowhead hanger  25 T may embody the tabbed hanger  25 W (best viewed in  FIG. 4C ) so that any or all of the features of the tabbed hanger  25 W may be included in arrowhead hanger  25 T. 
     To afford attaching the storage bag  8  to the arrowhead hanger  25 T, provision may be given to the arrowhead hanger  25 T to secure to the storage bag  8 . In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4F , the arrowhead hanger  25 T may be formed from the tabbed hanger  25 W where the outward edges of tabs  34 ,  35 , (renamed tabs  34 A,  35 A, respectively) are merged with arrowheads  212 ,  213 , respectively. Arrowheads  212 ,  213  have arrowhead shoulders  216 ,  217 , respectively, that are wider than their adjacent tabs. The arrowheads  212 ,  213  have aggressively convergent ends  214 ,  215  that may pierce the material constructing the header  114  of the storage bag  8  to provide the pierced apertures  218 ,  219  (not shown) into which may be received the projecting tabs  34 A,  35 A, respectively. The piercing arrowheads remove the need for any apertures to exist on the header  114  before attachment to the said hanger, as described below and for the preferred embodiment. The provision to provide for securing the arrowhead hanger  25 T to the storage bag  8  may be given by the convergent ends  214 ,  215  being able to pierce the header  114  to produce, the pierced apertures  218 ,  219  into which the projecting tabs  34 A,  3 A 5  may be received and then held from being released by the arrowhead shoulders  216 ,  217 , respectively. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the convergent ends  214 ,  215 , the projecting tabs  34 A,  35 A, the arrowhead shoulders  216 ,  217  and the strength of the material of the header  114 , attaching the storage bag  8  to the arrowhead hanger  25 T may be afforded. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , in use, to attach the arrowhead hanger  25 T to the storage bag  8 , the said hanger is disposed against the header  114  between the sidewalls  11  and  12 , with one hand, so that the arms  28 ,  29  are disposed parallel to the closure device  16  and the head  26  projects above the header  114 . The second hand, bends the portion of the header  114  adjacent the side edge  14  a minimum of 90 degrees around the convergent end  214 . Suddenly forcefully the convergent end  214  is pushed into the header  114 , or alternatively, the header  114  suddenly forcefully is pulled (as shown by direction arrow D 12 ) onto the convergent end  214  that the arrowhead  212  pierces the header  114  to form the pierced aperture  218 . And then, pushing or pulling continues until the tab  34 A is received in the pierced aperture  218 . Similarly, for the portion of the header  114  adjacent the side edge  15 , the bending and piercing actions are repeated to form the tab  35 A received in the pierced aperture  219 . 
     To effect positioning the pierced apertures  218 ,  219  relative to the vertical center-line C 10  of the attached storage bag  8 , provision may be given to locate the pierced apertures  218  and  219  on the storage bag  8 . In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4F  the arrowhead hanger  25 T has downwardly extending registration tab  121  integrally formed with part of the lower end of the holding section  72  where the bottom edge of the registration tab  121  may align with the bottom edge of the arm  29 . The registration tab  121  has outside edge  420 . The arrowhead hanger  25 T may have outwardly extending protruding lip  414  disposed above the arrowhead  212 . The protruding lip  414  has bottom edge  415  that is co-linear with the bottom edge  427  of the holding section  72 , and has outside end  416  that extends beyond the convergent end  214  of the arrowhead  212 . The bottom edge  415  of the protruding lip  414  is disposed above the arrowhead  212  a vertical length dimension L 417 . The outside edge  420  of the registration tab  121  is disposed from the arrowhead convergent end  214  a horizontal length dimension L 418 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , in use, the arrowhead hanger  25 T is disposed to locate the pierced aperture  218  (not shown) on the storage bag  8  by disposing the arms  28 ,  29  and the registration tab  121  between the sidewalls  11 ,  12 , disposing the bottom edge  415  of the protruding lip  414  adjacent the top edge  312  of the sidewall  12 , and disposing the outside edge  420  of the registration tab  121  to abut the interior corner  923  (not shown) of the storage bag  8 . When the arrowhead hanger  25 T is disposed to locate the pierced aperture  218 , attaching the header  114  to the storage bag  8  by forming the pierced aperture  218 , as described above, disposes the pierced aperture  218  vertically from the top edge  312  an approximate vertical length dimension L 417 , and horizontally from the interior corner  923  an approximate horizontal length dimension L 418 . 
     After attachment, the arrowhead-lip vertical length dimension L 417  of the said hanger is equal to the aperture-edge vertical length dimension L 26  of the said storage bag  8 . The arrowhead-tab horizontal length dimension L 418  of the said hanger is equal to the aperture-corner horizontal length dimension L 27  of the said storage bag  8 . The provision to vertically locate the pierced aperture  418  on the storage bag  8  may be given by the length dimension L 417  that vertically separates the arrowhead  212  from the bottom edge  415  of the protruding lip  414 , and the horizontal length dimension L 418  that separates the arrowhead convergent end  214  from the outside edge  420  of the registration tab  121 . 
     In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4F  the arrowhead hanger  25 T has the convergent end  215  of the arrowhead  213  spaced from the shoulder  36 A (intermediate of the tab  34 A and the arm  28 ) a horizontal length dimension L 423 , and vertically spaced from the bottom edge  427  of the holding section  72  a vertical length dimension L 424 .

When storage bag  8  is attached to clasp hanger  25 P as described below, the skirt  4  may be horizontally centered on the header  114 . Provision to provide the ability for the storage bag  8  to fold around the vertical edges of the skirt  4  or the rotating skirt  810  may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17  of the skirts  4 ,  810  being significantly smaller than the horizontal length dimension L 13  of the said storage bag. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the horizontal length dimension L 13  of the said storage bag, and the horizontal length dimension L 17  of the skirts of the said hanger, the opening of the storage bag  8 , as described below, may be afforded. 
     Referring to  FIG. 21 , in use, to vertically locate the pawls  80 ,  84  on the storage bag  8  the clasp hanger  25 P is registered with the storage bag  8  by straddling the hanger over the top edge  312  of the header  114  so that the skirt  4  and the rotating skirt  810  are disposed on opposite sides of the header  114 : The skirt  4  is disposed between the sidewall  11  and the sidewall  12 , and the living hinge  172  is disposed above the top edge  312 . For horizontal registration of the pawls  80 ,  84 , the outside edge  811  of the registration tab  127  is abutted against the interior corner  923  of the storage bag  8 . For vertical registration, the top edge  312  of the storage bag  8  is disposed adjacent the bottom edge  944  of the lip  955  and adjacent the bottom edge  427  of the holding section  72 . 
     In use, to attach the clasp hanger  25 P to the storage bag  8 , the clasp hanger  25 P is registered with storage bag  8 , as described above, and the clasp hanger  25 P is closed to force the pawls  80 ,  84  to pierce or deform the header  114 . Then, the interior corner  923  of the storage bag  8  is pulled down, away from the outside edge  811  of the registration tab  127 , and released so that the sidewalls  11 ,  12  are disposed together on the same side of the registration tab  127 . 
     In use, once attached, the clasp hanger  25 P is prevented from moving either vertically or horizontally relative to the header  114 . Preferably, the clasp hanger  25 P has a normally flat, relaxed configuration when assembled in the storage bag  8 . The provision to detach the clasp hanger  25 P from the storage bag  8  may be given by the pawls  80 ,  84  being sized to disengage from the slotsrotating flap  82 ,  86  when moderate separating force between the skirt  4  and the rotating skirt  810  is applied so that the retaining tension of said slots with said pawls is overcome, should such detachment be desirable. 
     To assemble the clasp hanger  25 P, the parts A of the pawl-hanger  966  are aligned with the parts B of the rotating skirt  810  and the hinge pin  499  is disposed securely and co-radially with parts A and parts B to form the living hinge  172 . 
     Generally, to reversibly anchor the clasp hanger  25 P to the storage bag  8 ,2.5 mm to 3.5 mm diameter pawls with substantially defined edges deform or puncture plastic film or thin film materials better than larger diameter pawls with rounder edges.

     To afford opening the storage bag  508  when it is attached to the articulated hanger  25 D, provision may be given to the articulated hanger  25 D to open an access to the interior of said storage bag. In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 18 , the high friction tape pairs  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d , respectively, move in an arc towards each other when the rotating arm  361  rotates about the living hinge  174 . When the storage bag  508  is attached (as described below) to the articulated hanger  25 D the storage bag&#39;s sidewalls adjacent the side edges  514 ,  515  are clamped between the said high friction tape pairs. In use (as described below) when the side edges  514 ,  515  are free to move towards each other and the profiles  517 ,  518  are separated, the sidewalls  511 ,  512  may be pulled apart to open the pouch access  519 A. The provision to have the side edges  514 ,  515  of the storage bag  508  move towards each other when the storage bag  508  is attached to the articulated hanger  25 D may be given by the high friction tape pairs  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d , respectively, clamping near the side edges  514 ,  515  and rotating about the living hinge  174 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the high friction tape pairs  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d , and the living hinge  174  of the articulated hanger  25 D, and the side edges  514 ,  515  and sidewalls  511 ,  512  of the storage bag  508 , the opening of the storage bag  508  when it is attached to the articulated hanger  25 D may be afforded. 
     To afford secure closure of the articulated hanger  25 D when it is attached to the storage bag  508 , provision may be given to the articulated hanger  25 D to be bias closed. In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 7C , when the articulated hanger  25 D is closed the pawl  184  is received and retained in slot  182 . A source of bias for the articulated hanger  25 D to stay closed may be given by the degree of interference between the pawl  184  and the slot  182  keeping both together. Another source of bias for the articulated hanger  25 D to stay closed may be given by the degree of incline from vertical that the living hinge  174  is disposed. The provision to bias articulated hanger to its closed position may be given by the degree of interference between pawl  184  and slot  182 , and by the degree of incline from vertical living hinge  174  is disposed. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the pawl  184 , the slot  182 , and the degree of incline of the living hinge  174 , secure closure of the articulated hanger  25 D when it is attached to the storage bag  508  may be afforded. 
     To afford securing the articulated hinge  25 D closed when it is attached to the storage bag  508  and being manipulated while hanging on the support rod  7 , provision may be given to the articulated hinge  25 D to minimize the forces tending to open the articulated hanger  25 D. In the alternative embodiment best illustrated in  FIG. 13 , the rotating arm  361  has upwardly projecting head section  373  having J-shaped slot  230  similar in form and function to the J-shaped slot  23  of the hinged hanger  369 , shown in  FIG. 12 . The J-shaped slot  230  helps distribute the load from the storage bag  508  secured between the U-shaped channel  451  of the rotating arm  361  and the U-shaped channel  451   d  of the hinged hanger  369 . The load is distributed onto the support rod  7  to minimize the inertial forces between, and tending to separate, hinged-hanger  369  and rotating arm  361 , when the storage bag  508  is moved or rotated about support rod  7 . The provision to bias the articulated hanger  25 D closed may be given by the J-shaped slot  230  and the J-shaped slot  23  cooperating to distribute the load, from the secured storage bag  508 , onto the support rod  7 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the J-shaped slot  230 , the J-shaped slot  23 , the storage bag  508 , and the support rod  7 , the secured closure of the articulated hanger  25 D when it is attached to the storage bag  508  and manipulated while hanging on the support rod  7  may be afforded. 
     Referring to  FIG. 18  and  FIG. 14 , in use, to attach the articulated hanger  25 D to the storage bag  508 , the side edge  514  of the storage bag  508  is disposed in the channel  460 , between the through hole or void  365  of the rotating arm  361  and the high-friction tape  394  (not shown) of the U-shaped channel  451 . The closure device  516  and the closure slider  615  of the storage bag  508  (best viewed in  FIG. 3B ) are disposed above the U-shaped channel  451  so that the closure slider  615  is fully accessible and movable. The rotating flap  387  is positioned closed with the side edge  514  clamped between the high-friction tapes  392 ,  394  (not shown). Similarly, the side edge  515  of the storage bag  508  is disposed in the channel  460   d  (not shown) between the through hole or void  365   d  (not shown) and the high-friction tape  394   d  (not shown) of the U-shaped channel  451   d , that the closure device  516  is disposed above the U-shaped channel  451   d  and that the closure slider  615  is fully accessible and movable. The rotating flap  387   d  is positioned closed with the side edge  515  clamped between the high-friction tapes  392   d ,  394   d  (not shown). The storage bag  508  is opened as described below to give access to the interior of storage bag  508 . A movable locking slot  616  is repositioned from a pawl  617  (See  FIG. 13 ) disposed above the closure device  516 , to a pawl  618  (not shown) from within the storage bag  508 , to attach by puncturing or deforming the sidewall  512  to the hinged-hanger  369 . Said sidewall attachment improves how easily the closure profiles  517 ,  518  pull apart when the storage bag  508  is opened as described below. 
     In use, to open the storage bag  508  with the profiles  517 ,  518  occluded while said bag is attached to the articulated hanger  25 D, the user holds the closure device  516  adjacent the closure slider  615 , with a first hand. With the second hand the closure slider  615  is moved to disengage the closure profiles  517 ,  518 . The locking fastener pawl  184  and slot  182  parts are unlocked, to open the articulated hanger  25 D, by folding the distal end  390  of the rotating arm  361  about the living hinge  174  towards the holding section  72 . The second hand is re-positioned to hold the hinged-hanger  369  in the area adjacent the living hinge  174 . The first hand is re-positioned to grip the closure profile  518  and pull it away from the closure profile  517 , that the articulated hanger  25 D folds about living hinge  174  and the side edges  514 ,  515  of the storage bag  508  move towards each other. As said closure profiles separate, the pouch access  519 A to the interior of the storage bag  508  is opened between the articulated hanger  25 D and the sidewall  512  on one side of the pouch access  519 A and the sidewall  511  on the opposing side of the pouch access  519 A. 
     In use, to reseal the storage bag  508  with profiles  517 ,  518  separated while said storage bag is secured to the articulated hanger  25 D, the user closes the hanger to engage the pawl  184  with the slot  182 , and seals the pouch access  519 A to the interior of the storage bag  508  by moving the closure slider  615  to engage the closure profiles  517 ,  518 . The storage bag  508  and/or the rotating arm  361  is held with a first hand and the closure slider  615  is moved to occlude the closure profiles  517 ,  518  with the second hand. 
     Other possible alternative two-piece locking fasteners well-known in the art may include a garment type snap fastener (not shown) or a stud and grommet fastener (not shown). Many variations of such locking fasteners are possible, the intent herein being to illustrate several possible ways to implement the locking fastener to secure the hinged halves together. The locking fasteners, in any embodiment of the present invention, may be formed as piercing fasteners with the locking means supplied by an inverted, U-shaped, resilient clip  64  (also referred to in the prior art as a spring clip) fitted over the folded associated living hinge. The mechanism of the resilient clip  64  is not illustrated here as examples of a spring clip exists in the prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 7,004,629 to Shrader et al. describes and illustrates a spring clip of suitable design for use with the invention described herein. As an example, the resilient clip  64  around living hinge  174  may act to firmly secure the articulated hanger  25 D closed. A pair of grooves  68 , each disposed on the outsides of the hinged-hanger  369  and rotating arm  361  are provided to retain the resilient clip  64  in position. When installed, the lower edges of the resilient clip  64  engage the grooves  68  to retain the resilient clip  64  against the closed body of the articulated hanger  25 D. The clip may preferably be fabricated of a resilient metal spring stock such as spring steel. Similarly, two-piece locking fasteners  80 ,  82  and  84 ,  86  are formed as inverted, U-shaped, resilient clips fitted over the folded living hinges  175 , and  175   d , respectively. In cooperation with the resilient clip the pawls of the locking fasteners may be formed mainly to puncture the header material of a storage bag. 
     Any locking fastener employed should, of course, be configured for repeated cycles of reuse. The hangers described above may be fabricated, including the locking fastener features, e.g., by injection molding, of a thermoplastic material such as polypropylene or the like having the strength, resilience, flexibility and other properties adequate to provide the living hinge feature and support the intended loads stored in the resealable storage bag  8  or the storage bag  508 . Such material provides a molded article that is rigid yet includes a “living hinge” that retains its flexibility and durability through many repetitions of fold and unfold cycles. 
     Referring to  FIG. 27 , there is illustrated at  25 F a folding hanger that is an alternative embodiment of the hanger of the present invention that may be attached to the resealable bag  508  illustrated in  FIG. 2B . The folding hanger  25 F is an alternative embodiment of the articulated hanger  25 D where the living hinges  174 ,  175 , and  175   d  have been replaced by foldable connecting bridge members  774 ,  171 , and  171   d , respectively, and the pawl  184  and the slot  182  of the articulated hanger  25 D replaced by a latch  701  and shoulder step  703 . The shoulder step  703  includes shoulder  703 A. 
     The foldable connecting bridge members  171 ,  171   d , may be disposed with their folding axises horizontal, and their associated locking fasteners shown represented as foam backing  393  appropriately repositioned. 
     The latch  701  may be disposed on one side of the bridge member  774  and have a distal end lip  702  formed to engage the shoulder step  703  disposed on the opposite side of the bridge member  774 . When the bridge member  774  is straightened the distal end lip  702  and shoulder  703 A engage by the latch  701  being flexed-dragged over the shoulder step  703  to straighten and rest on the shoulder  703 A. The shoulder step  703  is formed to facilitate the latch engaging the shoulder and resist the latch disengaging the shoulder. The shoulder  703 A restrains the distal end lip  702  from bending away from its straight and rest position. When the distal end lip  702  and shoulder  703 A are engaged, folding the bridge member  774  requires a minimum threshold of force to overcome the resistance cased by the distal end lip  702  resting on the shoulder  703 A. 
     It may be that the high-friction tapes  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d  are replaced singly or in cooperating pairs by textured surfaces. It may be that the securing provision utilizing high-friction tapes  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d  is replaced by one or more pawl and slot locking fasteners that puncture the sidewalls  511 ,  512  of the storage bag  508 . It may be that the fasteners are sized not to puncture the sidewalls  511 ,  512  of the storage bag  508 , but only deform the sidewalls and securely hold them. The fasteners are similar in design and function to the two-piece locking fasteners described for the clasp hanger  25 P above. 
     The embodiments of the articulated hangers described above are illustrative of those embodiments that simply clamp on or around the existing sides of the resealable storage bag  508 . Thus, no modification to the structure of the storage bag  508  is required. 
     To assemble the articulated hanger  25 D, (referring to  FIG. 13 ) the parts C of the hinged-hanger  369  are aligned with the parts D of the rotating arm  361  and the hinge pin  498  is disposed securely and co-radially with parts C and parts D to form the living hinge  174 ; (referring to  FIG. 16 ) the parts G of the rotating arm  361  are aligned with the parts H of the first rotating flap  387  and the hinge pin  497  is disposed securely and co-radially with parts G and parts H to form living hinge  175 ; the parts Gd of the hinged-hanger  369  are aligned with the parts Hd of the second rotating flap  387   d  and the hinge pin  497   d  is disposed securely and co-radially with parts Gd and parts Hd to form living hinge  175   d ; the high-friction tape pairs  392 ,  394  and  392   d ,  394   d  are attached by their adhesives to first rotating flap  387 , clamp first leg  453 , and second rotating flap  387   d , clamp second leg  453   d , respectively, and; (referring to  FIG. 18 ) movable locking slot  616  is positioned on the pawl  617 . 
     In another embodiment of the present invention, zip hanger shown as  25 Z in  FIG. 24  (the sidewall  11  is shown transparent), may be attached to the embodiment of a resealable storage bag  8  illustrated in  FIG. 3A . The zip hanger  25 Z may embody the template hanger  25  so that any or all of the features of the template hanger  25  may be included in the zip hanger  25 Z. 
     To afford reversible attachment the zip hanger  25 Z to the storage bag  8  having moderate load, provision may be given to the zip hanger  25 Z to vertically and horizontally secure to the storage bag  8 . In the alternative embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 24 , male closure profile  717  is a duplicate of the male closure profile  17  of the storage bag  8 , and is horizontally disposed and co-molded or fused to the front planar surface  917  (not shown) of the skirt  4  of the zip hanger  25 Z. Female closure profile  718  is a duplicate of the female closure profile  18  of the storage bag  8 , and is horizontally disposed and co-molded or fused to the back planar surface  918  of the skirt  4  of the zip hanger  25 Z. The horizontal length of the closure profiles  717  and  718  given by horizontal length dimension L 41  is slightly less than the edge-to-edge horizontal length dimension L 13  of storage bag  8 . (The “slightly less” quality of the horizontal length dimension L 41  may not be adequately illustrated in  FIG. 24  to better show other aspects of the embodiment.) 
     The provision for vertically securing the said hanger to the storage bag  8  may be given by the male closure profile  717  being able to mate with the female closure profile  18  of the storage bag  8 , and the female closure profile  718  being able to mate with the male closure profile  17  of the storage bag  8 . The provision for horizontally securing the said hanger to the storage bag  8  may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 41  allowing closure profiles  717 , and  718  to maximally extend between the side edges of the storage bag  8  to minimize lateral displacement of said bag relative to said hanger. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the closure profiles  17  and  18  of the storage bag  8 , and the closure profiles  717  and  718  of the zip hanger  25 Z, reversible attachment of the said hanger to the storage bag  8  may be afforded. 
     In use, the storage bag  8  is attached the zip hanger  25 Z by engaging the male, female closure profiles  717 ,  718  of the zip hanger  25 Z with the female, male closure profiles  18 ,  17  of the storage bag  8 , respectively. 
     In use, the storage bag  8  attached to the zip hanger  25 Z is opened by disengaging either of the two male-female closure profiles  717 - 18  or  17 - 718  so that the zip hanger  25 Z is still secured to the storage bag  8  by the remaining engaged male-female closure profiles. 
     In another embodiment of the present invention, pinned hanger shown as  25 R in  FIG. 4E , may be attached to the embodiment of the resealable storage bags  8 E illustrated in  FIG. 3E . The pinned hanger  25 R may embody the tabbed hanger  25 W so that any or all of the features of the tabbed hanger  25 W may be included in the pinned hanger  25 R.

The pin-hold tab  721  is integrally formed with horizontally disposed pin holder  621  that has holder entrance  622 , and that is sized to securely receive and hold piercing pin  623 . The piercing pin  623  includes shaft  624  having piercing end  625  and pushing end  626 . The piercing end  625  is shaped and sized to pierce the thin film material that forms the header  114  of storage bags  8 C,  8 E. The pushing end  626  is shaped and sized to comfortably accept the user&#39;s finger or thumb that may push the piercing pin to puncture the header  114 . 
     To afford reversible attachment of the storage bag  8 E to the pinned hanger  25 R, provision may be given to the pinned hanger  25 R to secure to the storage bag  8 E. (The same provision may be used to attach to storage bag  8 C.) In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4E , the pinned hanger  25 R has the horizontal length dimension L 17  spacing apart the shoulders  36  and  37 . The dimension L 17  is equal to or slightly less than the horizontal length dimension L 903  spacing apart the horizontal extents of the header opening  919  (best viewed in  FIG. 3E ). The provision to secure the said hanger to the storage bag  8 E may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17  being equal to or slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 903  so that the header opening  919  may straddle and stretch across the said hanger&#39;s shoulders  36 ,  37  and dispose the storage bag  8 E to hang from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  (best viewed in  FIG. 9 ). And, provision may be given by the header  114  being foldable across the holder entrance  622  and pinnable to the hanger by the piercing end  625  puncturing the header  114  to be received in the pin holder  621 . The provision to reverse the securing may be given by the piercing pin being removable from the pin holder  621 , and the header opening  919  being removable from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 .

     In use, as best viewed in  FIG. 10 , the storage bag  8  may be reversibly attached to the one-tab hanger  25 H by inserting the tab  734  through the through hole or void  819 A so that the storage bag  8 D partially hangs from the tab  734 . Then, the header  114  is folded across the holder entrance  622  and punctured by the piercing end  625  of piercing pin  623 , so that the piercing end is securely received in the pin holder  621  and the storage bag  8 D hangs from the piercing pin  623  and the tab  734 . 
     In another embodiment of the present invention, 3-tab hanger illustrated at  25 M in  FIG. 4I , may be attached to a bag representative of the resealable storage bag  8 F illustrated in  FIG. 3F . The 3-tab hanger  25 M may embody the tabbed hanger  25 W (best viewed in  FIG. 4C ) so that any or all of the features of the tabbed hanger  25 W may be included in 3-tab hanger  25 M. 
     The 3-tab hanger  25 M has downwardly extending stabilizing tab  721   a  integrally formed with part of the lower end of the holding section  72  where the bottom edge of the stabilizing tab  721   a  may align with the bottom edge of the arm  29 . The stabilizing tab  721   a  has vertical outside edge  721   c.    
     The stabilizing tab  721   a  is integrally formed with outwardly projecting holder tab  621   a  disposed on the vertical outside edge  721   c  and having a vertical width dimension  621   b . The bottom edge of the holder tab  621   a  is disposed above the bottom edge of stabilizing tab  721   a.    
     To afford reversible attachment of the storage bag  8 F to the 3-tab hanger  25 M, provision may be given to the 3-tab hanger  25 M to secure to the storage bag  8 E. In the illustrated embodiment best viewed in  FIG. 4I , the 3-tab hanger  25 M has the horizontal length dimension L 17  spacing apart the shoulders  36  and  37 . The dimension L 17  is equal to or slightly less than the horizontal length dimension L 903  spacing apart the horizontal extents of the header opening  919  (best viewed in  FIG. 3F ). The 3-tab hanger  25 M has the horizontal length dimension L 17   a  spacing apart the vertical outside edge  721   c  of the holder tab  621   a  from the load-contact point P 32 . The dimension L 17   a  is equal to or slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 904  spacing apart the vertical center lines  919   c ,  919   d  of the apertures  919 A,  919 B (best viewed in  FIG. 3F ) from the vertical center-line C 10 . The diameter dimension L 903 A is equal to or slightly smaller than the vertical width dimension  621   b . The provision to secure the 3-tab hanger  25 M to the storage bag  8 E may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17  being equal to or slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 903  so that the header opening  919  may straddle and stretch across the hanger&#39;s shoulders  36 ,  37  and dispose the storage bag  8 E to hang from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  (best viewed in  FIG. 9 ). The provision to secure the 3-tab hanger  25 M to the storage bag  8 E may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17   a  being equal to or slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 904  so that the area between the header opening  919  and the aperture  919 B or  919 A of the storage bag  8 F may stretch between the shoulder  36  and the vertical edge  721   c  of the 3-tab hanger  25 M. The provision to secure the 3-tab hanger  25 M to the storage bag  8 E may be given by the diameter dimension L 903 A of aperture  919 B and  919 A being equal to or slightly smaller than the vertical width dimension  621   b  of holder tab  621   a  that the aperture may stretch around the tab. By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the horizontal length dimension L 17 , the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 , the horizontal length dimension L 903 , the holder tab  621   a , aperture  919 A, or  919 B, and the resilience of the material of header  114 , reversible attachment of the storage bag  8 E to the pinned hanger  25 R may be afforded. 
     In use, as best viewed in  FIG. 9 , the storage bag  8 E is reversibly anchored to the 3-tab hanger  25 M by disposing the hanger in an approximately horizontal plane and inserting the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 , and the head  26  through the header opening  919  of sidewall  12 . 
     Then, the holder tab  621   a  is inserted through the aperture  919 A or  919 B that header  114  abuts vertical outside edge  721   c  and the hanger is rotated to be disposed in an approximately vertical plane. Then, the hanger is partially withdrawn back through the header opening  919  that the hanger is disposed between sidewall  12  and sidewall  11  and the tabs are disposed on the opposite side of sidewall  12 . It may be that the header opening  919  needs to be eased-stretched over the top corner adjacent shoulder  36 . The storage bag  8 E may now hang from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35  and the holder tab  621   a.    
     In another embodiment of the present invention, arrowhead-tab hanger illustrated at  25 N in  FIG. 4J , may be attached to a bag representative of the resealable storage bag  8 E illustrated in  FIG. 3E . The arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N may embody the 3-tab hanger  25 M (See  FIG. 4I ) so that any or all of the features of the 3-tab hanger  25 M may be included in arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N. 
     The outward edge of the holder tab  621   a  is merged with arrowhead  880 . Arrowhead  880  has arrowhead shoulder  882 . The arrowhead  880  has aggressively convergent end  881  that may pierce the material constructing the header  114  of the storage bag  8  to provide a pierced aperture into which may be received the holder tab  621   a . The piercing arrowhead removes the need for an aperture such as aperture  919 A or  919 B to exist on the header  114  before attachment as may be the case when using the 3-tab hanger  25 M. 
     The provision to secure the arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N to the storage bag  8 E may be given by the horizontal length dimension L 17  being equal to or slightly greater than the horizontal length dimension L 903  so that the header opening  919  may straddle and stretch across the said hanger&#39;s shoulders  36 ,  37  and dispose the storage bag  8 E to hang from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 . (Best viewed in  FIG. 9  where a similar attachment is shown for the pinned hanger  25 R.) 
     The provision to provide for securing the arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N to the storage bag  8  may be given by the convergent end  881  being able to pierce the header  114  to produce a pierced aperture into which the holder tab  621   a  may be received and then held from being released by the arrowhead shoulder  882 . By virtue of the relationships and engagements among the convergent end  881 , the holder tab  621   a , the arrowhead shoulder  882  and the strength of the material of the header  114 , attaching the storage bag  8  to the arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N may be afforded. 
     In use, as best viewed in  FIG. 9 , the storage bag  8 E is reversibly attached to the arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N by disposing the hanger in an approximately horizontal plane and inserting the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 , and the head  26  through the header opening  919  of sidewall  12 . Then, the hanger is rotated to be disposed approximately vertical and parallel to the sidewall  12  of the bag, and is partially withdrawn back through the header opening  919  that the hanger is disposed between sidewall  12  and sidewall  11  and the tabs are disposed on the opposite side of sidewall  12  as is the head  26 . It may be that the header opening  919  needs to be eased-stretched over the top corner adjacent shoulder  36 . The storage bag  8 E may now hang from the projecting tabs  34 ,  35 . Continuing with reversible attachment, the hanger is disposed against the header  114  between the sidewalls  11  and  12 , with one hand, so that the arms  28 ,  29  are disposed parallel to the closure device  16  and the head  26  projects above the header  114 . The second hand, bends the portion of the header  114  adjacent the side edge  15  a minimum of 90 degrees around the convergent end  881 . Suddenly forcefully the convergent end  881  is pulled into the header  114 , or alternatively, the header  114  suddenly forcefully is pushed onto the convergent end  881  that the arrowhead  880  pierces the header  114  to form the pierced aperture  218 . And then, pushing or pulling continues until the tab  34 A is received in the pierced aperture  218 . 
     The above attachment of the storage bag  8 E to the arrowhead-tab hanger  25 N may be reversed. 
     The provisions for attaching a valid hanger to a thin film resealable storage bag may be use to attach a valid hanger to other thin film containers or storage bags, or thin film sheets of material. The terms “storage bag” and “material” include but is not limited to paper, fabric, plastic, metal foil, and their composites. 
     The provisions for attaching a valid hanger to a thin film resealable storage bag disclosed above is by example only and not meant to be an exhaustive disclosure of all appropriate provisions of attachment. 
     The preferred and the alternative embodiments provided above illustrate several of the ways the present invention may be implemented. Some additional embodiments are contemplated that do not require changing the design or production of the template hanger  25 , whereby the template hanger  25  may be installed and used with existing resealable bags. A molded or stamped template hanger  25  attached to a resealable bag by adhesion bonding or thermal welding are examples of embodiments that may not require structural modification of the resealable bag. 
     An valid hanger may be fabricated by various means including by injection molding, stamping, laser cutting, water jet cutting, routering. The clasp hanger  25 P and the articulated hanger  25 D may be best suited for injection molding. A valid hanger is formed to be light weight. 
     A valid hanger may be attached and supplied with the resealable storage bag, or sold separately to be attached by the user to a suitable resealable storage bag supplied by a third party, or spaced separate from the storage bag but made available in the same package. 
     In the above disclosure, as a rough guide moderate load is give as half a pound for a storage bag six inches wide. 
     Anyone skilled in the art will understand how to attach two valid hangers to the opposing upper ends of a resealable storage bag so that more weight may be stored in the same bag compared with having only one valid hanger. A non-resealable storage bag fabricated from film materials such as, for example, plastic, paper, foil, or fabric may be attached to a valid hanger or a pair of valid hangers and hung from the support rod  7 . Where required by a particular valid hanger the non-resealable storage bag may need to be suitably prepared with apertures. 
     The preferred embodiment of the support rod  7  is shown at  823  in  FIG. 25  for use with a pegboard or slatwall. The support rod  823  includes left, right corner rods  824 ,  825  support tube  829 , and stoppers  836 ,  837 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 26 , left, right corner rods  824 ,  825  have first ends  826 ,  827  that are formed to hook into pegboard  828  or slatwall (not shown), intermediate section  830 ,  831  bent left, right, and second ends  832 ,  833  that cooperate with each other to slide into left end  835 , right end  834  of the tube  829  and suspend the tube  829  horizontal and parallel to the pegboard  828 , respectively. 
     The provision to suspend the tube  829  may be given by the first ends  826 ,  827  of the corner rods  824 ,  825  being hooked into pegboard and the second ends  832 ,  833  being sleeved by the left end  835 , the right end  834  of the tube  829 , respectively. Referring to  FIG. 25 , in use, the second ends  832 ,  833  of the right corner rod  824 , left corner rod  825  are sleeved by the left end  835 , the right end  834  of the tube  829 , and then the assembly has the first ends  826 ,  827  of the corner rods  824 ,  825  horizontally adjusted to hook into the pegboard  828 , respectively. 
     Referring to  FIG. 25 , The packages  9  (not shown) are confined to be supported on the tube  829  by the stoppers  836 ,  837  being secured to the tube  829  to preventing packages  9  sliding past the ends of the tube  829 . The stoppers  836 ,  837  may be stretched rubber or silicone tubing. 
     Referring to  FIG. 26 , in use, to assemble support rod  823  the stoppers  836 ,  837  are fitted over the left, right end  835 ,  834  of the tube  829 . Then, the second ends  832 ,  833  of the corner rods  824 ,  825  are sleeved into the tube  829 , respectively. 
     Once assembled the support rod  823  may be mounted onto a pegboard as a regular pegboard hook is mounted. For mounting onto a slatwall a retaining band  849  may be attached onto and disposed between the first ends  826 ,  827  to keep the corner rods  824 ,  825  from separating. Attachment may be by openings  849 A,  849 B on the retaining band  849  that accept all or part of the first ends  826 ,  827  and not interfere with their mounting. 
     Alternative embodiments of support rod  7  may be realized by substituting an appropriate form for the first ends  826 ,  827  to mate with different support mediums. Examples of support mediums that have mating forms that may substitute for the first ends  826 ,  827  and known to the art are, gridwall, slatwall, slotted standard, and vertical slot standard. The standards are commonly used to support wire or board shelving.
