Abstract
A support system for magnetically supporting a thin, pliable section of material, such as a kitchen towel from a surface. The support system includes a first plate with an upper surface and a lower surface and a second plate with an upper surface and a lower surface. The section of material along with at least one magnet is placed between the lower surface of the first plate and the upper surface of the second plate. A fastening device for attaching through the thin pliable material and attaching the first plate to the second plate, is included through the entire assembly, so that the thin pliable material is retained between the lower surface of said first plate and said upper surface of said second plate.
Claims11
A support system for magnetically supporting a thin pliable section of fabric material, the support system comprising:
- a magnet;
- a first plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a first recess and supporting at least two male portions, the male portions being adapted for attachment through the thin pliable section of fabric material;
- a second plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of said second plate having a second recess adapted for receiving said magnet and at least two means for accepting the male portions, the means for accepting the male portions being spaced apart and next to generally and generally straddling the recess adapted for receiving said magnet, so that said thin pliable fabric material is retained between the lower surface of said first plate and said upper surface of said second plate when said male portions are inserted through the thin pliable fabric material and into the means for accepting the male portions included in the second plate,
- said means for accepting the male portions of said first plate having at least two apertures, each defining a female section;
- said first and second recesses having diameters larger that the diameter of the magnet;
- whereby said first and second recesses are adapted to cooperate and retain the magnet and capture the thin pliable fabric material between the first recess and the magnet.
A support attachment for magnetically supporting a thin pliable section of fabric material, the support attachment comprising:
- at least one magnet having a perimeter and a thickness;
- a first plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having at least two male portions extending from said lower surface and a first aperture, said first aperture being adapted for accepting the perimeter of said magnet;
- a second plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a second aperture being adapted for accepting the perimeter of said magnet, the upper surface of said second plate having at least one raised portion of a thickness, the thickness of the raised portion on the upper surface of the second plate being less than the thickness of the magnet, the raised portion of said second plate further having means for accepting the male portion of said first plate;
- so that when said male portion is accepted by the means for accepting said male portion, said thin pliable fabric material is retained between the upper surface of said first plate and said at least one magnet, said at least one magnet being retained between said first plate and said second plate by the acceptance of the male portions within said means for accepting the portions of said second plate, so that pliable section of fabric material is retained against said magnet by said first plate and said second plate, and so that the pliable section of fabric material may be magnetically supported from a surface including ferrous material
- said means for accepting the male portions of said first plate having at least two holes, each defining a female section;
- said first and second apertures having diameters larger that the diameter of the magnet;
- whereby said first and second apertures are adapted to cooperate and retain the magnet and capture the thin pliable fabric material between the first aperture and the magnet.
A support attachment for magnetically supporting a piece of fabric from a ferrous surface, the support attachment comprising:
- a first plate having a first recess and a generally flat upper surface and a lower surface;
- at least two male portions extending from the lower surface of the first plate, the male portions being adapted for extending through the piece of fabric;
- a second plate having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the second plate having a second recess for retaining a magnet, the upper surface of the second plate further having means for accepting the male portions extending from the first plate and straddling said second recess for retaining a magnet, so that a magnet may be retained against the fabric between said first plate and said second plate when said male portions are accepted by the means for accepting the male portions in said second plate as the male portions extend through the section of fabric;
- said means for accepting the male portions of said first plate having at least two holes, each defining a female section;
- said first and second recesses having diameters larger that the diameter of the magnet;
- whereby said first and second recesses are adapted to cooperate and retain the magnet and capture the thin pliable fabric material between the first aperture and the magnet.
