Abstract
A magnetic closure with mutual interlock for bags, knapsacks, items of clothing and the like, comprising a female element and a male element with regions for accommodating magnetic elements for mutual coupling. A particularity consists in that there are provided, on the female element, guiding means for coupling to the male element and, on the male element, mechanical engagement elements which are adapted to contrast the mutual sliding of the male element and the female element.
Claims10
A magnetic closure with mutual interlock for knapsack, luggage and clothing items, comprising:
- a female element;
- a male element;
- said female and male elements being adapted for connection to flaps of said items;
- magnetic means for mutual coupling of said female and male elements;
- accommodation regions provided at said female and, respectively, male elements for accommodating said magnetic means;
- guiding means provided at said female element for guidingly receiving said male element;
- and mechanical engagement means for providing mutual engagement between said female and male elements so as to contrast sliding movement of said male element with respect to said female element and wherein said accomodation regions comprise coupling surfaces made of nonferromagnetic material, said coupling surfaces being located so as to close said accomodation regions and provide contact regions between said female and male element, said guiding means of the female element being adopted to allow engagement/disengagement of the male element with respect to the female element along a direction which is substantially perpendicular to a line orthogonal to the coupling surfaces of said male and female elements.
A magnetic closure with mutual interlock for knapsack, luggage and clothing items, comprising:
- a female element;
- a male element;
- said female and male elements being adapted for connection to flaps of said items;
- magnetic means for mutual coupling of said female and male elements;
- accommodation regions provided at said female and, respectively, male elements for accommodating said magnetic means;
- guiding means, provided at each one of said female and male elements, for guiding the mutual coupling of said elements;
- and mechanical engagement means for providing mutual engagement between said female and male elements so as to contrast sliding movement of said male element with respect to said female element, and wherein said guiding means are constituted by mutually spaced side walls which are formed at said female element and are laterally adjacent to the accomodation region thereof;
- and wherein a protrusion is provided which is formed on a free end of said male element, said protrusion being insertable between said side walls, and wherein said protrusion has a V-shaped configuration which facilitates insertion between said side walls, said mechanical engagement means being constituted by a tooth which is formed by said protrusion, and by an abutment formed by said female element, said protrusion being locatable, upon closing of the closure, in engaging relationship with said abutment.
