MAGNETIC ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT

摘要

A garment (20) includes magnetic interconnects (21) which serve to form mechanical connections to close garment (20) as well as to form electrical connections, for example, between power source (4) and a device (7). Interconnects (21) are formed by a first portion (22) and a second portion (23) which form a mechanical connection via magnetic attraction. First (22) and second (23) portions can be quickly coupled and decoupled and contain all the advantages of magnetic couplings, including ease of connection and simplicity of design.
