Claim 13:
14. 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 at least one of the first clamping arm or the second clamping arm includes at least one slide slot, wherein a fastener extends through the slide slot and into the other of the first clamping arm or the second clamping arm to hold the first and second clamping arms together, wherein the fastener includes a shaft portion within the slide slot, wherein the shaft portion interacts with an end of the slide slot for limiting relative sliding movement between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.
