Abstract
A decorative magnetic occluding device for decoratively and uniformly occluding opposing surface portions of a non-magnetic panel which includes a matched pair of sheet magnets, each being the mirror image configuration of the other. Each magnet has a decorative surface, which is a mirror image configuration of the decorative surface of the other magnet, and an opposite magnetized surface. The magnetized surfaces have alternating North and South stripes of polarity, with the stripes of polarity of one of the magnetized surfaces being offset by one stripe from the corresponding stripes of polarity of the other of the magnetized surfaces. Each magnet has visual orientation means to ensure that the corresponding stripes of polarity of each magnet will be opposite in polarity when the magnets are mated.

A decorative magnetic occluding device for decoratively and uniformly occluding opposing surface portions of a non-magnetic panel comprising a matched pair of sheet magnets;
- each being the mirror image configuration of the other;
- each magnet having a decorative surface, which is a mirror image configuration of the decorative surface of the other magnet, and an opposite magnetized surface, said magnetized surfaces having alternating North and South stripes of polarity, the stripes of polarity of one of said magnetized surfaces being offset by one stripe from the corresponding stripes of polarity of the other of said magnetized surfaces;
- and
- each magnet having visual orientation means for insuring that the corresponding stripes of polarity of said magnetized surfaces will be opposite in polarity when said magnets are mated on opposing surface portions of a non-magnetic panel with the decorative surfaces exposed.
