Description
- The present invention relates to a magnetic device, and particularly but not exclusively to a magnetic device for holding tools.
- In many locations where workmen are using tools, appropriate surfaces for resting the tools when not in use are not readily available, and it is known for magnetic tool holders to be attached to the body of workmen for convenient location of such tools.
- Known designs of magnetic tool holder comprise a plurality of magnets to hold magnetisable tools to the holder. Whilst such holders prove satisfactory once attached to the body of the user, it is found that they tend to fold-up on themselves as a result of mutual attraction between the magnets thereof. The known holders therefore have the drawback that they are difficult to attach to the body.
- This drawback is particularly prevalent when the holder is intended for attachment to an arm of a user. If a user tried to attach known devices to one of his arms he could necessarily only use the other free arm to effect this. Thus, the susceptability to self-collapsing of known devices renders it very difficult for a user to attach them to his own body, since the user would have to try to hold the device in a manner to try to prevent collapsing, whilst trying to manipulate the means of attachment of the device to the body.
- It is an object of the present invention to obviate or mitigate one or more disadvantages of the prior art.
- According to the present invention there is provided a magnetic device for holding items magnetically attracted thereto, the device comprising attachment means for attachment of the device to the body of a user and a generally flexible retaining portion comprising a plurality of magnetic members located therein to hold items on the portion, characterised in that means is provided to prevent collapsing of the retaining portion through mutual attraction between the magnetic members.
- Preferably the means is resiliently deformable to enable the retaining portion to generally conform to the surface of a body against which the portion is located when the device is attached to a body, whilst being sufficiently rigid to prevent the aforesaid collapsing of the portion.
- Preferably the magentic members are arranged in series across the retaining portion, and the means preferably extends generally along the series. Preferably the means extends along both sides of the series of members. Preferably the means comprises one or more elongate members, and preferably beading. The beading may be formed of twisted cord such as hessian cord. Alternatively or additionally the means comprises reinforced stitching.
- Preferably each magnetic member comprises a back plate for example of steel, to concentrate the magnetic flux on a surface thereof to which items are attracted. The magnetic members are preferably generally elongate and arranged with the longitudinal axis thereof generally perpendicular to the direction of the series.
- Preferably the magnetic members are retained in position on the portion by stitching or other appropriate means such as adhesive or cement. The magnetic members are preferably located between two layers of flexible material of the retaining portion, and the means is desirably located between the layers, preferably generally along two opposing edges of the retaining portion.
- Preferably the attachment means comprises a strap extending from a one end of the retaining portion generally at one end of the series of magnetic members and a loop cooperable with the strap generally at the other end of the retaining portion.
- The strap may comprise a hook and fleece fastener. The respective hook and fleece parts of the hook and fleece fastener may be arranged on the strap to be interconnectable when the strap has been passed at least partway through the loop and folded back on itself. The attachment means may, as an alternative or in addition, comprise a buckle arrangement.
- Preferably the device comprises an arm band for attachment to an arm of a user. The device is desirably a magnetic tool holder.
- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompany drawing, which is a plan view of a device of the present invention.
- Referring to the drawing, a
magnetic device 10 for holding items magnetically attracted thereto comprises attachment means 12 for attachment of thedevice 10 to the body of a user and a generallyflexible retaining portion 14 comprising a plurality ofmagnetic members 16 located therein to hold items on the portion, and means 18 provided to prevent collapsing of the retainingportion 14 through mutual attraction between themagnetic members 16. - In more detail, the
device 10 is generally planar and is principally made of a hardwearing flexible sheet material, such as nylon or plastics material. Theretaining portion 14 is generally rectangular, and tapers at each end thereof toward aloop 20 at one end and astrap 22 at the other end. Theretaining portion 14 comprises two sheets of flexible material between which four strip-like magnets 16 are located in series. Stitching 24 between the respective magnetic 16 retains themagnets 16 in their correct location. The longitudinal axes of themagnets 16 extend mutually parallel and generally perpendicular to the direction of the series. A steel backing plate (not shown) is provided on the in-use, rear surface of eachmagnet 16 to concentrate the magnetic flux onto thesurface 36 to which items are attracted, and to help stabilize themagnets 16. - A length of twisted cord such as twisted hessian-fibre cord or resiliently
deformable plastics material 26 extends generally parallel to the direction of the series across the ends of themagnets 16 between the two sheets of theretaining portion 14. The cord orplastic members 26 are sufficiently resiliently deformable to allow theretaining portion 14 to conform to the surface of a body against which theportion 14 is located when thedevice 10 is attached to a body, but is sufficiently rigid to prevent the retainingportion 14 from collapsing as a result of mutual attraction between themagnetic members 16, when thedevice 10 is not attached to a body, or is being attached to a body. That is, the resilience urging thebead 26 to straighten is sufficient to overcome the attraction between themagnetic members 16. - The
strap 22 is generally narrower than theretaining portion 14, and has onepart 30 of a hook and fleece fastener attached on one side thereof. Thepart 30 comprises the hook part of the hook and fleece fastener, but can comprise the fleece part. Theother part 28 of the fastener comprises the other of the fleece or hook part and is located generally in atapered portion 32 of thedevice 10 between theretaining portion 14 and thestrap 22. Theparts parts free end 33 of thestrap 22 is pointed to assist location thereof in theloop 20, which is pivotally attached at the free end of atapered portion 34 extending from the other end of theretaining portion 14. - In use, the
device 10 of the present invention is principally intended for attachment to the arm of a user. The provision of themeans 18 is particularly relevant forsuch devices 10 because during attachment by a user, the user generally only has the other arm free to manipulate the attachment means to attach thedevice 10. Themeans 18 assists in attachment by preventing collapsing of thedevice 10 through mutual attraction of themagnets 16. - To attach the
device 10, thedevice 10 is placed on the arm approximately at the desired location. Thestrap 22 is brought around the arm and located through theloop 20, up to thetapered portion 32 which tends to prevent further insertion. Theloop 20 is thus located at the joint between theparts strap 22 is then folded back over theloop 20, such that theparts strap 22 onto the arm thereby connects theparts device 10 to the arm. - The
surfaces 36 of themagnets 16 are thereby exposed on the body of the user, and tools introduced thereto are retained on thedevice 10. The strength of themagnets 16 is sufficient to satisfactorily retain tools, such as spanners, sockets etc. thereon for storage, but to allow ready removal of the tools by a user for use. The backing plate enhances the magnetic flux and thereby magnetic attraction of thesurfaces 36. Removal is simple reversal of the attachment process. - Various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. For example, any number of
magnets 16 may be provided. Thedevice 10 may be adapted for attachment to other parts of the body of a user, such as the leg, or waist. The hook andfleece fastener 12 may be replaced by any suitable alternative means. The attachment means may comprise a buckle. - Whilst endeavouring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the Applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features hereinbefore referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
