Abstract
A magnetic coupling device for releasably attaching a foldable protective panel (made of a durable fabric) to the interior walls of a conventional storage locker (of the type commonly used in schools, gymnasia, clubs and work places) comprises the combination of a magnetic member adapted to magnetically engage the locker wall, a mechanism (e.g., a button) adapted to engage the panel, and various mechanisms for interconnecting the magnetic member and such panel-engaging mechanism.
