Magnetic Closure System

摘要

A magnetic closure system is provided that includes closure members that mate which each other along an elongated seam. The closure members comprise a plurality of magnetic pairs spaced along the elongated seam. The magnetic components are aligned with corresponding pairs, such that an upper contact surface of a first component is attracted to the upper contact surface of a second component via magnetic attraction, e.g., the first component and the second component configured with opposing polarity to provide magnetic attraction therebetween. In this manner, the closure system resists unintended separation.

主权项

1. A magnetic closure system, comprising:
a first component having an outer housing portion, a magnet received behind an outer wall of the outer housing portion, and an interior housing portion disposed behind the magnet to trap the magnet between the outer housing portion and the interior magnet portion; and a second component having a magnet closed within a housing and a peripheral ridge around at least part of the housing to receive the outer housing portion of the first component and prevent the first component from moving orthogonally away from the surface of the second component yet allow the first component to move slidingly away from the second component in a direction not blocked by the partial peripheral ridge.
