Abstract
A magnetic attachment device for releasably attaching an article to a button on shirts, blouses, and the like. The magnetic attachment device contains: (a) a button cover for a button secured to an article, the cover contains a cap having an unobstructed interior and an open side for receiving a button therein, and a closure plate rotatably attached to the cap about a rotational axis between an opened and closed position with respect to the open side of the cap, wherein the button cover contains a magnetic member; and (b) an article containing a magnetic member, wherein upon contacting the magnetic member of the article and the magnetic member of the button cover provides a magnetically attractive force which is sufficient to attach the article to the button cover.
Claims19
A magnetic attachment device for releasably attaching an article to a button, said magnetic attachment device comprising:
- (a) a button cover for a button, said cover comprising a cap having an unobstructed interior and an open side for receiving a button therein, and a closure plate rotatably attached to said cap about a rotational axis between an opened and closed position with respect to said open side of said cap, wherein said button cover comprises a magnetic member;
- and
- (b) an article comprising a magnetic member,
- wherein upon contacting said magnetic member of said article and said magnetic member of said button cover provides a magnetically attractive force which is sufficient to attach said article to said button cover.
A magnetic attachment device for releasably attaching an article to a button, said magnetic attachment device comprising:
- (a′) a button cover for a button secured to material by a thread-like element, said cover comprising a cap having an unobstructed interior and an open side for receiving a button therein, and a closure plate rotatably attached to said cap about a rotational axis between an opened and closed position with respect to said open side of said cap, said plate including a slot having a longitudinal axis for receiving said thread-like element, said slot opposing said cap when said plate is arranged in said closed position, said plate movable between said opened and closed position by rotation of said plate about said rotational axis in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of said slot, wherein said button cover comprises a magnetic member;
- and
- (b) an article comprising a magnetic member,
- wherein upon contacting said magnetic member of said article and said magnetic member of said button cover provides a magnetically attractive force which is sufficient to attach said article to said button cover.
