Abstract: A closure device includes a first closure part, which includes a base element and at least one closure element movably arranged on the base element with a form-fitting portion arranged thereon, and a second closure part, which includes an engagement element with an engagement portion formed thereon. In an open position of the closure device the first closure part and the second closure part are separated from each other and can be attached to each other along a closing direction for closing the closure device. The form-fitting portion of the at least one closure element can be brought into engagement with the engagement portion of the engagement element in an engagement direction substantially transversely to the closing direction. On the at least one closure element of the first closure part a first magnetic element is arranged and on the engagement element of the second closure part a second magnetic element is arranged.
Abstract: A closure device includes a first closure part which has a body, and a second closure part. A locking element and an engagement portion in a closing position are mutually engaged in such a manner that the first closure part and the second closure part are locked to one another. The first closure part has a first magnetic installation, and the second closure part has a second magnetic installation, said first magnetic installation and said second magnetic installation when placing the first closure part and the second closure part against one another interact in a magnetically attractive manner. The at least one locking element is magnetically configured in such a manner that the at least one locking element in the closing position by way of the first magnetic installation and/or the second magnetic installation is loaded in the direction of engaging with the at least one engagement portion.

Abstract: A closure device for connecting two assemblies to each other includes a first closure part, which is associated to a first one of the assemblies and includes a first magnetic element, and a second closure part which includes a second magnetic element. The first closure part and the second closure part can be attached to each other along a closing direction by magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, are mechanically and/or magnetically held at each other in a closed position, and can be separated from each other for opening the closure device. A connecting part includes a fastening device for fastening the second closure part to the connecting part and an integration portion for fixing the connecting part to a second one of the assemblies.

Abstract: A connecting device for releasably connecting two assemblies, having a closure module which is assigned to a first of the assemblies, and has a housing assembly, an adjustment element disposed so as to be adjustable on the housing assembly, and a vacuum element; and an attachment assembly which is assigned to a second of the assemblies. The vacuum element is connectable to the attachment assembly along an attachment direction and in a connected position interacts with the attachment assembly in such a manner that the vacuum element and the attachment assembly, when the closure module and the attachment assembly are stressed relative to one another, are held together by virtue of a vacuum effect between the vacuum element and the attachment assembly. The adjustment element for releasing the vacuum element from the attachment assembly is able to be tilted about different spatial directions in relation to the housing assembly.

Abstract: A fastener device includes a first fastener part and a second fastener part which can be mounted on one another along a closing direction and are held against one another in a closed position, and are releasable from one another in order to open the fastener device. The second fastener part has a winding element on which a tension element can be arranged and which is rotatable relative to the first fastener part in order to wind up the tension element on the winding element in a winding direction.

Abstract: A connecting apparatus detachably connects two assemblies. The connecting apparatus includes a fastener module securable to a first of the assemblies and including a negative-pressure element, and an attachment component of a second of the assemblies. The negative-pressure element is connectable in an attachment direction to the attachment component for connecting the assemblies with one another, wherein, in a connected position, the negative-pressure element interacts with the attachment component such that, in the event of a load acting in between the fastener module and the attachment component opposite to the attachment direction, the negative-pressure element and the attachment component are held against one another by a negative pressure acting between the negative-pressure element and the attachment component. The fastener module includes an adjustment element which is adjustable relative to the negative-pressure element and which is movable relative to the negative-pressure element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a closure device for releasably connecting two parts, including a first closure part which includes a first base body, and a second closure part which includes a second base body. The first closure part and the second closure part can be attached to each other such that in a closed position the first base body and the second base body at least partly are at least positively connected with each other to support a load acting between the first closure part and the second closure part along a load direction, and holding of the first and second closure parts against each other in the closed position is magnetically supported. An engagement opening is formed on the first base body as a through opening into which an engagement portion of the second base body protrudes in the closed position.
