Abstract: A magnetic coupling device for releasably attaching a foldable protective panel (made of a durable fabric) to the interior walls of a conventional storage locker (of the type commonly used in schools, gymnasia, clubs and work places) comprises the combination of a magnetic member adapted to magnetically engage the locker wall, a mechanism (e.g., a button) adapted to engage the panel, and various mechanisms for interconnecting the magnetic member and such panel-engaging mechanism.

Abstract: Apparatus for protecting, from wear, tear and abuse, the interior walls (e.g., the side and back walls) of a conventional storage locker of the type commonly used in schools, gymnasia, clubs and work places for temporarily storing various possessions of the locker user. Such apparatus preferably comprises a foldable protective panel made of a durable textile, cloth fabric, plastic, textile/plastic blends or other flexible material that is shaped and sized to overlay a major portion of at least one of the interior walls of such locker. A plurality of attachment elements, such as magnets, serves to releasably attach such panel to the locker wall(s) at spaced locations over the surface of the panel. Preferably, the panel is made of denim, and the denim panel supports a plurality of organizing pockets and/or loops of different sizes and shapes that are adapted to temporarily receive and/or support various possessions of the locker user, e.g., a cell phone, wallet, coins, writing utensils, tools, books, food, etc.
