Abstract
An anti-ligature magnetic coupling (10) with a coupling bracket (12) operatively associable with a support and a coupling connector (11) operatively associable with an object to be supported. The coupling connector (11) is connectable to the coupling bracket (12) with the bracket (12) having at least two magnets (20) arranged to define a combined magnetic field for supporting the object via the coupling connector (11). The coupling connector (11) has no magnets, but a ferromagnetic element attracted to the bracket's (12) combined magnetic field.
Claims20
