<p>A magnetic connector 10 for connecting together swatches 102 comprises a first engagement formation on one side, a second engagement formation on the other side and a magnet 106. At least parts of the first engagement formation and the second engagement formation are substantially complementary in shape. The swatches are substantially planar samples. The connector permits multiple swatches to be removably fastened with each other, to form custom sets of swatches. Generally, the shape of the engagement formations constrains in some way the relative movement of swatches with respect to each other. This may be to constrain it to rotational movement to permit the swatches to be fanned out. The connector may be adhered to the swatches, e.g. by an adhesive pad 104. Alternatively the connector may be formed in two parts with the swatch clamped between, e.g. the two parts being magnetic.</p> |
