Claim 15:
16. A magnetic pouch clamp assembly comprising:
a first clamping arm having a first clamping surface;
a second clamping arm having a second clamping surface opposed to the first clamping surface;
wherein the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are slidably connected together for relative movement between an open position and a closed position, the first and second clamping surfaces being spaced apart in the open position and the first and second clamping surfaces being engaged in the closed position;
a magnet assembly including a first magnet having a first polarity carried by the first clamping arm and a second magnet having a second polarity carried by the second clamping arm, the first and second polarities being oriented such that a closing attractive force therebetween holds the first and second clamping arms in the closed position;
wherein the first clamping arm overlies the second clamping arm and a relative sliding action between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm is in a direction along an axial length of the second clamping arm.
