Abstract:
A reclosable bag with front and rear walls defining a top opening between them is closable with a fold-over hood on one of the walls. The walls are made of a flexible material that may be folded downward from the top opening in a series of one or more folds. The hood extends along an upper portion of the wall near, but spaced apart from, the top opening. The fold-over hood is effective for folding over and retaining the upper portions of the front and rear walls after they have been folded downward from the top opening in a series of one or more folds until they reach the hood.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of making a reclosable bag, comprising the steps of:\n a) providing a bag having front and rear walls with substantially identical dimensions, with each of said front and rear walls having an upper edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge, wherein said front and rear walls are directly or indirectly connected to each other along their side and bottom edges, but are not connected along their top edges so that a top opening is formed between them, wherein said front and rear walls are made of a flexible material effective to permit the upper portions of the front and rear walls to be folded downward from the top opening in a series of one or more folds; b) providing a fold-over hood on said front wall, said fold-over hood being formed by a first hood wall extending from said first side wall to said second side wall along an upper portion of said front wall near, but spaced apart from, said top opening, wherein said fold-over hood is attached to said front wall along the sides and top edge of the hood to form a bottom opening between said hood wall and said front wall, said fold-over hood being effective for folding over and retaining the upper portions of the front and rear walls after they have been folded downward from the top opening in a series of one or more folds.
