The male member of the magnetic slide lock assembly can include a protruding member or housing with a magnet position therein. The protruding member includes an opening so as to expose a portion of the magnet. The female member can include a plate or plates which are slidable so as to come into engagement or out of engagement with the magnet. The magnetic slide lock assembly provides for a strong closure between the male and female members so as to resist a disengagement of the male and female members when a strong force is exerted on the lock assembly.Field of SearchMAGNETICRigid Rigid Sliding catch HAVING MAGNETIC FASTENER For plural, oppositely shifting, similar interlocking components or segments Operator includes camming or wedging element Including slidably connected and guided element on receiving member For shifting slidably connected and guided, nonself-biasing, interlocking component | |
