  • Patent number: 5604960
    Abstract: A closure system for a garment of any type, also useful to join two garments, including cooperating magnet assemblies, interdimensionally fixed to opposing closure surfaces of the garment, that securely and removably join the closure surfaces by the attractive action of the magnets. The magnet assemblies are laminates, each laminate produced from a support layer to which is added an adhesive layer. One or more magnets are positioned on the adhesive layer to align and retain them in place. Finally, a cover layer is added over the one or more magnets, and shaped to the magnet(s) to form the laminate that is the magnet assembly. A garment is securely joined when a magnet assembly is aligned with a cooperating magnet assembly, that is, one magnetically opposable, and the magnets attract each other. A garment is opened when the magnet assemblies on the opposing closure surfaces are disengaged from each other by peelably disengaging them.
