A zippered bag includes two sheets sealed to each other along a plurality of edges to form opposing bag sides. The bag also includes a first fastener strip including an inner wall and an outer wall hinged to the inner wall, with the first fastener strip being attached to one of the opposing bag sides. The inner wall includes a first profile. A second fastener strip includes a second profile, the second fastener strip being attached to the other one of the opposing bag sides. The first and second profiles are adapted to interlock to close the bag, wherein the first and second profiles each include an uppermost closure element, an intermediate closure element, and a bottommost closure element. A slider straddles the first and second fastener strips such that the uppermost, intermediate, and bottommost closure elements are enclosed by the slider and the slider is movable between a closed position and an open position. The slider includes a separator leg disposed between the first and second profiles, with the separator leg extending down from a top surface of the slider. The separator leg extends through the uppermost and intermediate closure elements such that the bottommost closure elements remain in contact under the separator leg when the slider is moved into the closed position, but the bottommost closure elements are opened by the slider when moved into the open position.

We claim: 1. A zippered bag comprising two sheets sealed to each other along a plurality of edges to form opposing bag sides, said bag comprising: a first fastener strip including an inner wall and an outer wall hinged to the inner wall, said first fastener strip being attached to one of the opposing bag sides, said inner wall including a first profile; a second fastener strip including a second profile, said second fastener strip being attached to the other one of the opposing bag sides, said first and second profiles being adapted to interlock to close said bag, wherein the first and second profiles each include an uppermost closure element, an intermediate closure element, and a bottommost closure element; and a slider straddling said first and second fastener strips such that the uppermost, intermediate, and bottommost closure elements are enclosed by said slider and said slider is movable between a closed position and an open position, said slider including a separator leg disposed between said first and second profiles, said separator leg extending down from a top surface of said slider, wherein the separator leg extends through the uppermost and intermediate closure elements such that the bottommost closure elements remain in contact under the separator leg when the slider is moved into the closed position, but the bottommost closure elements are opened by the slider when moved into the open position. 2. A zippered bag according to claim 1, wherein said first and second profiles each includes at least one closure element, with said closure element of said first profile including an L-shaped distal end and said closure element of said second profile having a hook shape, wherein said closure elements contact when said slider is in the closed position. 3. A zippered bag according to claim 1, wherein said slider includes side walls extending from the top surface of said slider and shoulders extending inwardly from said side walls, said side walls and said shoulders holding said slider onto said bag. 4. A zippered bag according to claim 1, wherein said inner wall and said outer wall of said first fastener strip extend substantially parallel to each other and are joined at a hinged portion disposed between them. 5. A zippered bag comprising two sheets sealed to each other along edges thereof to form opposing bag sides, said bag comprising: a first fastener strip including an inner wall and an outer wall hinged to the inner wall, said first fastener strip being attached to one of the opposing bag sides, said inner wall including a first profile; a second fastener strip including a second profile, said second fastener strip being attached to the other one of the opposing bag sides, said first and second profiles being adapted to interlock to close said bag; and a slider straddling said first and second fastener strips such that said slider is movable between a closed position and an open position, said slider including a separator leg disposed between said first and second profiles; wherein said first and second profiles each includes an uppermost closure element, an intermediate closure element, and a bottommost closure element, with said bottommost closure element of said first profile including an L shape and said bottommost closure element of said second profile having a hook shape, wherein said bottommost closure elements contact along substantially their entire lengths when said slider is in the closed position. 6. A zippered bag according to claim 5, wherein said separator leg of said slider extends from the top surface of said slider between said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements, but does not contact said bottommost closure element, such that said bottommost closure elements contact along substantially their entire lengths even though said separator leg separates said upper and said intermediate closure elements along part of their lengths. 7. A zippered bag according to claim 5, wherein said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements each has a hook shape such that said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements interlock over substantially their entire lengths when said slider is in a closed position and the contact between said bottommost closure elements is an interlocking engagement over substantially the entire length of said bottommost closure elements. 8. A zippered bag according to claim 5, wherein said bottommost closure elements contact over a larger area than either pair of said uppermost and intermediate closure elements. 9. A zippered bag comprising two sheets sealed to each other along a plurality of edges to form opposing bag sides, said bag comprising: a first fastener strip including a first profile including a closure element having a hook shape with an L-shaped distal end extending from the hook shape, said first fastener strip being attached to one of the opposing bag sides; a second fastener strip including a second profile including a closure element having a hook shape, said second fastener strip being attached to the other one of the opposing bag sides, said closure element of said first profile and said closure element of said second profile being adapted to interlock to close said bag; a slider straddling said first and second fastener strips such that said slider is movable between a closed position and an open position, said slider including a separator leg disposed between said first and second profiles adapted to separate said first and second profiles when said slider is moved from the closed position to the open position; wherein the first profile and the second profile each further includes an upper closure element disposed above the L-shaped closure element and the closure element having a hook shape and wherein the L-shaped closure element and the closure element having a hook shape contact over a larger area than the upper closure elements. 10. A zippered bag according to claim 9, wherein said first profile and said second profile each further includes an uppermost closure element and an intermediate closure element, said closure element that has the L-shaped distal end is disposed below said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements, whereby said closure element that has the L-shaped distal end is a bottommost closure element, and wherein said closure element on said second profile that has a hook shape is disposed below said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements of said second profile, whereby said closure element on said second profile that has a hook shape is a bottommost closure element. 11. A zippered bag according to claim 10, wherein said separator leg of said slider extends from the top surface of said slider between said uppermost and said intermediate closure elements, but does not contact said bottommost closure elements when said slider is in the closed position, such that said bottommost closure elements contact along substantially their entire lengths even though said separator leg separates said upper and said intermediate closure elements along part of their lengths. 12. A zippered bag according to claim 9, wherein said slider includes side walls extending from the top and shoulders extending inwardly from said side walls, said side walls and said shoulders holding said slider onto said bag. 13. A zippered bag according to claim 9, wherein said first fastener strip comprises an inner wall and an outer wall, which extend substantially parallel to each other and are joined at a hinged portion disposed between them.
