A faraday bag with magnetic closure system, the faraday bag comprising:
- a first panel element and a second panel element each including an RF-shielding layer, the panel elements being connected to one another to define an RF-shielding compartment therebetween and an access mouth;
- a closure section defined between the shielding compartment and the access mouth, the closure section including a retention segment, a distal flap segment, and an intermediate flap segment therebetween, the distal flap segment being foldably associated with the intermediate flap segment, the intermediate flap segment being foldably associated with the retention segment, the closure section being selectively actuatable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- a plurality of base magnets each being disposed
- (a) within the first panel element, and
- (b) within the retention segment;
- a multiplicity of flap magnets each being disposed
- (a) within the second panel element, and
- (b) within the distal flap segment;
- and
- a base stiffener element and a flap stiffener element;
- wherein
- (a) when the closure section is in the open configuration
- (i) the flap magnets are out of attractive magnetic engagement with respective said base magnets, and
- (ii) the shielding compartment is accessible from an ambient environment by way of the access mouth;
- and
- (b) when the closure section is in the closed configuration
- (i) the distal flap segment is folded with respect to the intermediate flap segment,
- (ii) the intermediate flap segment is folded with respect to the retention segment,
- (iii) the flap magnets are in attractive magnetic engagement with respective said base magnets, and
- (iv) the access mouth is retained in an RF-sealed configuration,
- (c) the flap magnets and base magnets are axially-magnetized along a pole axis,
- (d) when the closure section is in the closed configuration, the pole axis of each flap magnet is axially aligned with the pole axis of a respective said base magnet,
- (e) the base magnets are spaced from one another along a base magnet axis,
- (f) the flap magnets are spaced from one another along a flap magnet axis,
- (g) the base magnets are constrained from movement along the base magnet axis with respect to the first panel element,
- (h) the flap magnets are constrained from movement along the flap magnet axis with respect to the second panel element,
- (i) the constraining of the base magnets is at least in part by way of base lateral stitching extending orthogonally to the base magnet axis,
- (j) the constraining of the flap magnets is at least in part by way of flap lateral stitching extending orthogonally to the flap magnet axis,
- (k) the base stiffener element is elongated and disposed
- (i) within the first panel element,
- (ii) within the retention segment, and
- (ii) supportingly adjacent to the base magnets,
- (l) the flap stiffener element is elongated and disposed
- (i) within the second panel element,
- (ii) within the distal flap segment, and
- (iii) supportingly adjacent to the flap magnets,
- (m) the base lateral stitching extends into the first panel element and through the base stiffener element, and
- (n) the flap lateral stitching extends into the second panel element and through the flap stiffener element.
