Abstract

A connecting apparatus includes a first connecting part, which has a first basic body and at least one engagement protrusion arranged rigidly on the first basic body, and a second connecting part, which is attachable to the first connecting part in a closing direction and which has a second basic body with an engagement portion arranged rigidly on the second basic body. The first connecting part has a first magnetic device and the second connecting part has a second magnetic device. The first magnetic device and the second magnetic device interact in a magnetically attracting manner along the closing direction to assist the attachment of the first connecting part and the second connecting part to each other. The first connecting part has a blocking portion which is designed, in the connected position, to interact with the second connecting part in order to block the engagement of the engagement portion with the at least one engagement protrusion counter to an engagement direction. In the connected position, the second connecting part is rotatable about the closing direction with respect to the first connecting part. In the event of rotation, the engagement of the engagement portion with the at least one engagement protrusion and the blocking of the engagement by the blocking portion remains.

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

A closure device for detachably connecting two parts to one another includes a first closure part which has at least two first magnetic sections which are spaced apart from one another and form an intermediate space between one another, and a second closure part which has at least one second magnetic section. The first closure part and the second closure part can be attached to one another along a closure direction in such a way that the closure device assumes a closed position in which the at least one second magnetic section is accommodated at least partially by the intermediate space. In the closed position, an attractive magnetic force, which is directed substantially perpendicular to the closure direction, thereby acts both between the at least one second magnetic section and each of the at least two first magnetic sections forming the intermediate space.

Abstract

A lock device includes a first lock part, a second lock part, which can be arranged on the first lock part in a fastening direction and is connected in a closing state to the first lock part, and an actuating element, on which the second lock part is movably arranged. The second lock part is in the closing state held on the first lock part via the actuating element and acts together with the actuating element in such a way that in a loaded state, when a force is acting on the second lock part relative to the first lock part along the fastening direction, the actuating element is rigidly connected to the first lock part and holds the second lock part on the first lock part, whereas in an unloaded state the second lock part can be detached from the first lock part by actuation of the actuating element.

Abstract

Disclosed is a locking device, including a first locking part, having a casing and a blocking piece arranged on the casing, a second locking part, having a spring lock element which is formed spring-elastic at least in sections, and magnetic means, which act between the blocking piece of the first locking part and the second locking part and cause a magnetic force between the blocking piece of the first locking part and the second locking part. To close the locking device the first locking part can be attached onto the second locking part in a closing direction. To release the locking device the spring lock element can be slid in an opening direction directed essentially lateral to the closing direction relative to the blocking piece.

Abstract

A closure device for connecting two parts includes a first connecting module and a second connecting module. The first connecting module can be arranged on the second connecting module in a closing direction and is mechanically latched with the second connecting module in a closed position. The device also includes magnetic means which cause a magnetic attraction force between the first connecting module and the second connecting module to support the transfer of the first connecting module into the closed position. The first connecting module can be released from the second connecting module by means of a movement of the first connecting module or a part of the first connecting module in an opening direction that differs from the closing direction. The magnetic means counteract a movement of the first connecting module in the opening direction.

Abstract

A magnetic closure comprises a magnet-armature structure having a magnet and an armature, the magnet and the armature being constituted such that, for an automatic closing, the armature and the magnet mutually attract each other in a closing direction below a predetermined minimum distance, and, for an opening, the magnet is laterally shifted or rotated with respect to the armature into an open position so that the surfaces of magnet and armature facing each other in a mutually attracting manner become smaller, whereby the force of attraction between magnet and armature comes smaller, Further, an opening-assisting spring is provided for assisting the opening, wherein the opening-assisting spring either is automatically pretensioned by the magnetic force during the automatic closing, or is pretensioned during the opening operation.

Abstract

A connection assembly includes two connecting modules each including a load housing with a locking device, a spring locking element, a latch piece, a magnet and armature construction, and a movement track on which the latch piece can move from a closed position to an open position. The locking device, the magnet and armature construction and the movement track cooperate by way of an opening whereupon the connecting modules move on the movement track such that the magnet and armature move in opposition and the latch piece and the spring locking element move in opposition until the spring locking element is no longer engaged. On closing, the connecting module locks with the aid of magnetic force. The position of the load housing and the position and form of the movement track are such that on moving the connecting module the loading housings move together against a load.

Abstract

A connecting structure includes a locking device having a spring locking element and a locking piece for locking the connecting modules, and a magnet/armature structure having a magnet and an armature. The locking device and the magnet/armature structure are functionally linked by in that the magnet and the armature are displaceable, the magnet or the armature is coupled to the locking piece via a coupling device so that the locking piece, when displaced between the magnet and the armature, can be brought into a non-locking position; The magnetic force is chosen so that the connecting modules are pulled towards each other during closing, thereby pushing the spring locking element against the locking piece until it snaps into engagement and the magnetic force is weakened during release after the non-engagement position between the locking piece and the spring locking element is reached to enable separation of the modules.
