| 20120124786 | Locking Device - Disclosed is a locking device, including a first locking part, having a casing and a blocking piece arranged on the casing, a second locking part, having a spring lock element which is formed spring-elastic at least in sections, and magnetic means, which act between the blocking piece of the first locking part and the second locking part and cause a magnetic force between the blocking piece of the first locking part and the second locking part. To close the locking device the first locking part can be attached onto the second locking part in a closing direction. To release the locking device the spring lock element can be slid in an opening direction directed essentially lateral to the closing direction relative to the blocking piece. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110298227 | Closure Device for Connecting Two Parts - A closure device for connecting two parts includes a first connecting module and a second connecting module. The first connecting module can be arranged on the second connecting module in a closing direction and is mechanically latched with the second connecting module in a closed position. The device also includes magnetic means which cause a magnetic attraction force between the first connecting module and the second connecting module to support the transfer of the first connecting module into the closed position. The first connecting module can be released from the second connecting module by means of a movement of the first connecting module or a part of the first connecting module in an opening direction that differs from the closing direction. The magnetic means counteract a movement of the first connecting module in the opening direction. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110296653 | Closure Device for Connecting Two Parts - A closure device for connecting two parts includes a first connecting module and a second connecting module. The first connecting module can be arranged on the second connecting module in a closing direction and is mechanically latched with the second connecting module in a closed position. The device also includes magnetic means which cause a magnetic attraction force between the first connecting module and the second connecting module to support the transfer of the first connecting module into the closed position. The first connecting module can be released from the second connecting module by means of a movement of the first connecting module or a part of the first connecting module in an opening direction that differs from the closing direction. The magnetic means counteract a movement of the first connecting module in the opening direction. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110167595 | Magnetic Closure with an Opening-Assisting Spring - A magnetic closure comprises a magnet-armature structure having a magnet and an armature, the magnet and the armature being constituted such that, for an automatic closing, the armature and the magnet mutually attract each other in a closing direction below a predetermined minimum distance, and, for an opening, the magnet is laterally shifted or rotated with respect to the armature into an open position so that the surfaces of magnet and armature facing each other in a mutually attracting manner become smaller, whereby the force of attraction between magnet and armature comes smaller, Further, an opening-assisting spring is provided for assisting the opening, wherein the opening-assisting spring either is automatically pretensioned by the magnetic force during the automatic closing, or is pretensioned during the opening operation. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110131770 | Mechanical/Magnetic Connecting Structure - The invention relates to a mechanical/magnetic connecting structure, that is to say a mechanical interlock by means of magnetic-force assistance, which is particularly suitable for closures such as those which are used on bags, rucksacks and comparable objects, wherein the connecting structure has the following features: an interlock apparatus having at least one spring interlock element which moves in a direction and is arranged in one of the connecting modules, and having a blocking piece for interlocking of the connecting modules, which blocking piece is arranged in the other connecting module, and having a movable unlocking element with a force-deflecting rising sliding surface, which is likewise arranged in the other connecting module, and a magnet armature structure having at least one magnet which is arranged in one of the connecting modules, and at least one armature which is arranged in the other connecting module. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110030174 | Mechanical-Magnetic Connecting Structure - A mechanical-magnetic connecting structure for releasably connecting a first element with a second element is provided. The connecting structure consists of a module A which is firmly connected with the first element or is rotatably arranged in the first element, and a module B which is firmly connected with the second element or is rotatably arranged in the second element. The module A is rotatably guided in module B. In module A at least one magnet and in module B at least one armature or second magnet is arranged and the shape, location and polarity of the magnets or of the magnet and the armature are designed such that when rotating module A relative to module B, the magnets or magnet and armature move from a closed position with maximum magnetic attraction into an open position with weakened magnetic attraction or a magnetic repulsion of module A and module B is obtained. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110001025 | Magnetic Coupling Device - A hand-actuated magnetic coupling or closing device, consisting of elements that are integrally connected either to the objects that are to be coupled or applied to the objects. The coupling device comprises the following characteristics: Elements are coupled together by means of a coupling element; the coupling element can be displaced in two degrees of freedom; in the first degree of freedom, the coupling element can be displaced about the play between a coupling position and a decoupling position; in the second degree of freedom, the coupling element can be moved in a sliding manner by means of an input actuation. A magnetic element is arranged and a magnetic system is arranged in the coupling element. In the second degree of freedom and by means of the input actuation, the coupling element is displaced from the coupling position, in which the coupling element is attracted into the decoupling position, in which the coupling element is repelled and displaced about the play in the first degree of freedom. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100325844 | Magnetomechanical Connection Assembly with Load Securing - The invention relates to a connection assembly, comprising two connecting modules each with a load housing with a locking device with a spring locking element and a latch piece, a magnet and armature construction and a movement track, on which the latch piece can be moved from a closed position to an open position, the locking device, the magnet and armature construction and the movement track cooperating by means of an opening, the connecting modules are moved on the movement track, wherein the magnet and armature are moved in opposition and the latch piece and the spring locking element are moved in opposition, until the spring locking element is no longer engaged. On closing, the connecting module locks in with the aid of magnetic force. The position of the load housing and the position and form of the movement track are designed such that on moving the connecting module the loading housings move together by an amount Δx against the load FL. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100308605 | Locking Magnet Closure - A locking magnet closure consists of a first closure module and a second closure module and comprises a magnet-keeper construction with at least one magnet in the first closure module and a keeper or second magnet in the second closure module, wherein on closing the magnet-keeper construction pulls the first closure module and the second closure module together in a closing direction. The closure further comprises a locking device for positively locking the closure modules between the first closure module and the second closure module. The locking device comprises at least one spring locking element, consisting of an engaging protrusion and a spring, wherein the spring locking element is arranged in the first closure module, and a locking piece which is arranged in the second closure module. | 12-09-2010 |
