Magnetic latch for fastening a hinged closure member to a support

A magnetic latch for fastening a closure member to a support, the support extending in a first direction, the magnetic latch comprising a latch assembly configured to be mounted to one of the closure member and the support the magnetic latch and latch assembly comprising:

• a frame;
• a latch bolt mounted on the frame and being moveable between a latching position and a retracted position along a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
• and
• a latch bolt operating mechanism including an actuator mounted on the frame and configured to, upon actuation of the actuator, move the latch bolt from its latching position to its retracted position,
• the magnetic latch further comprising a keeper assembly configured to be mounted to the other one of the closure member and the support, the keeper assembly comprising a first magnetic element and the latch bolt comprising a second magnetic element, wherein the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are configured to magnetically attract each other to move the latch bolt along a second direction into its latching position,
• characterized in that the latch assembly further comprises a first lever and a second lever, each lever being pivotally connected to the frame with a pivot axis which extends in a third direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction and to the second direction, the latch bolt being suspended from the levers with the latch bolt being swingable between its latching position and its retracted position, each lever being moveable between a first position which corresponds to the latching position of the latch bolt and a second position which corresponds to the retracted position of the latch bolt.
