  • Magnetic zipper
    Patent number: 10856594
    Abstract: A magnetic zipper includes two elongate units, each attached to edges of material. One elongate unit includes a series of magnets positioned within a tube. The other elongate unit includes a ferromagnetic material that is attracted by the magnetic field of the series of magnets in the other elongate unit. The ferromagnetic material may also be positioned with a tube. The magnetic attraction between the two elongate units allows them to join to bring the edges of material together and be held together by the strength of the magnetic force.
