Definitions

  • MAGNETIC CLOSURE DEVICE RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/529,499, filed on December 15, 2003, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • BACKGROUND Conventional methods for fastening two pieces of fabric together at one fixed point include buttons, snaps, Velcro® and buckles. Each of these fasteners is visible on the surface of the fabric to which they are attached, either from the top, underneath or both, when the two pieces of fabric are not connected together. When the two pieces of fabric are connected together, the fastener may continue to be visible from one or more perspectives, such as with a buckle or button.
  • fastener provides for flexibility in the point of closure unless the fastener is closed at the smallest setting, such as with Velcro® when a small hook and longer loop are used, with snaps when one stud and multiple sockets are used and with buttons when one button and multiple holes are used.
  • fastener provides flexibility in the point of closure, unless the fastener is closed at the largest setting, the fabric that overlaps past the point of closure is unsecured.
  • Certain conventional fasteners restrain this flap by using a second fastener such as a loop that is attached to the fabric underneath the flap and through which the flap can be threaded, Velcro® (for example, by attaching the hook to the flap and a length of loop to the fabric underneath to which the flap will be secured) or by using snaps (for example, one stud on the end of the flap and multiple sockets on fabric underneath to which the flap will be secured).
  • a second fastener such as a loop that is attached to the fabric underneath the flap and through which the flap can be threaded
  • Velcro® for example, by attaching the hook to the flap and a length of loop to the fabric underneath to which the flap will be secured
  • snaps for example, one stud on the end of the flap and multiple sockets on fabric underneath to which the flap will be secured.
  • a Velcro® fastener may catch and snag delicate materials such as silk. Snap closures and buckles may be too heavy for use on lighter fabrics and cause the fabrics to stretch or tear.
  • few of the conventional fasteners allow for the fabric to be connected when reversed. Certain belt buckles allow for this feature and the loop method of restraining the flap accommodates this reversibility.
  • fabrics connected together using Velcro®, buttons, snaps and most buckles cannot be fastened together when the reverse side of the fabric is displayed.
  • an adjustable magnetic closure system which is preferably concealed, is provided which comprises one magnet arranged in a fixed position ("fixed position magnet”) along a length of material, preferably at a first end of the material, and a second movable magnetic attractable member arranged in a movable position along the length of material away from the first position.
  • the material may be any flexible material, natural (e.g., cotton, wool, silk, rubber); or synthetic (polyester, rayon, other plastics or polymers) and preferably is fabric material (hereinafter "fabric item").
  • the fabric item may be flexed or bent to form a band: one end positioned at or near the second end, or within a resulting diameter of the band.
  • the magnet is preferably a permanent magnet, manufactured of a hard/stiff material (e.g., aluminum-nickel-cobalt, strontium, hard ferrite, samarium cobalt and/or neodymium- iron-boron).
  • the magnetic attractable member may comprise any metal material which is magnetically attracted to the magnet (e.g., steel, iron), and/or may also (preferably) comprise a second magnet which may be similar or identical to the fixed position magnet.
  • the magnetic attractable member will be hereinafter referred to as "movable position magnet”.
  • the fixed position magnet is provided within a pocket sized to hold the fixed position magnet in the fixed position, and is preferably arranged at one end (e.g., first end) of the fabric item.
  • fixed position means that little or preferably no movement of the permanent magnet along the fabric item from the fixed position occurs, although minor movement of the magnet within the pocket may occur.
  • the movable position magnet is provided in a second extended pocket, positioned at the second end of the fabric item, so that the movable position magnet may be positioned at a number of different positions within the second pocket. Accordingly, the ends of the fabric item may be flexed or bent so that the fixed position magnet comes in contact with the movable position magnet to form a band or belt. Adjustment of the movable position magnet changes the diameter of the band. Thus, one end of the fabric item is positioned in the interior of the resulting band.
  • the fixed position magnet may be provided in a first pocket in a first end of a first fabric item, where the second end is affixed to a side of a product for closure.
  • the movable position magnet may be provided in a second extended pocket in a first end of a second fabric item, where the second end of the second fabric item is affixed to another side of the item for closure.
  • Each of the fixed position magnet and the movable magnet may be located between two layers of the fabric item, which may be sewn/adhered together to form the respective pockets.
  • the pockets may be formed separately and incorporated between two layers of the fabric item.
  • there may be a single pocket in which the fixed position magnet may be held in a fixed position within the pocket, and the movable position magnet may be moved to different positions within the single pocket.
  • magnets/magnetic-attractable material may not necessarily be totally concealed, yet concealment is preferable. It is an object in some embodiments of the invention to provide a concealed adjustable magnetic closure system that allows for two fabric items or two points on one fabric item to be connected reversibly. It is an object in some embodiments of the invention to provide a concealed adjustable magnetic closure system that functions as a secondary closure system between two fabric items, or between two points on one fabric item, having another primary point of closure provided by a different fastener or closure system.
  • the two fabric items are, or single fabric item is, connected at two distinct closure points, at least one of such closure points being that created by the concealed adjustable magnetic closure system described herein.
  • Still yet another object for some embodiments of the invention is to provide a concealed adjustable magnetic closure system that, when used in the production of accessories (such as bracelets, headbands, belts, collars, hats or gloves), is flexible and comfortable to wear.
  • a closure system includes a length of flexible material, a magnet provided at a first position on the material and a magnetic attractable member provided at a second position on the material spaced apart from the first position. A point of closure is established by the attraction of the magnetic attractable member to the magnet upon flexing the material to position the magnetic attractable member adjacent the magnet.
  • at least one of the first position and the second position may be adjustable along a portion of the length of the material.
  • an adjustable closure system in another embodiment, includes a fabric item comprising a length of flexible material, a first concealed magnet provided at a first fixed position along the length of the fabric item within a first pocket provided at a first end of the fabric item and a second concealed magnet provided at a second adjustable position along a portion of the length of the fabric item spaced apart from the first position within a second pocket.
  • a point of closure is established by the attraction of the second magnet and the first magnet upon flexing the material and positioning of the second magnet adjacent the first magnet.
  • the fabric item forms a band.
  • a method for adjustable closure includes providing a fabric item comprising a length of flexible material, a first concealed magnet provided at a first fixed position along the length of the fabric item within a first pocket provided at a first end of the fabric item and a second concealed magnet provided at a second adjustable position along a portion of the length of the fabric item spaced apart from the first position within a second pocket of the fabric item.
  • the method also includes circularly flexing one end of the fabric item toward the second end of the fabric item, positioning the second magnet adjacent the first magnet and establishing a point of closure between the first magnet and the second magnet by allowing the second magnet to be magnetically held by the first magnet.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-section of the concealed adjustable magnetic closure system contained in one fabric item.
  • FIG 2 schematically shows a cross-section of the operation of the concealed adjustable magnetic closure system to connect two points on one fabric item.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a cross-section of the concealed adjustable magnetic closure system when used to connect two points on a fabric item together showing how the fabric is clamped between the fixed position magnet and the movable magnet due to the magnetic attraction between such magnets.
