Abstract

A closure for reclosable plastic containers including male and female closure elements having extremities which are suited for interlocking with one another, in which the interlocking extremities of the male and female elements are guided into interlocking engagement responsive to compressive force placed on the elements, as in the clamping together and edge-sealing of film portions carrying the elements.
