  • Publication number: 20220194507
    Abstract: Provided is a closure device for connecting two assemblies to one another. The closure device includes a first closure part which has a locking piece with a first locking section and a first magnetic element, a second closure part which has a second locking section and a second magnetic element, and an arresting mechanism which is arranged on the second closure part and which has an arresting element and an actuating mechanism operatively connected to the arresting element. The arresting element can be brought into operative connection with the locking piece in the closed position, in order to lock the positively locked engagement between the first locking section and the second locking section. The actuating mechanism may be actuated in order to adjust the arresting element relative to the locking receptacle so that the first locking section and the second locking section are releasable from one another.

  • Publication number: 20220170503
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210180642
    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.
