Abstract

A sealable debris bag (120) includes a bag body (22) having an opening (26), and a plate member (128) attached to the bag body (22) proximate the opening (26). First and second portions (150, 152) of the plate member (128) are pivotable along a fold-line (156) so that the first portion (150) is engageable with the second portion (152) to substantially seal the opening (26). A tab (129) on one side of the fold-line (156) engages a notch (131) on the other side of the fold-line (156) to secure the device. The fold-line (156) can be formed in the plate member (128), to define the first and second portions where the portions (150, 152) are contiguous, or can be formed in the bag body (22) where the portions are non-contiguous. The opening (26) may be formed in a flexible lateral wall of the bag body (22), or alternately, in an end portion of the bag body (22).
A complimentary alignment structure on plate member (128) mates with an alignment structure on a vacuum to ensure proper alignment of the debris bag (120) on the vacuum.
