Abstract:
A magnet for holding thin non-magnetic sheet material against a flat smooth magnetically attractive surface, said magnet comprising a one-piece sheet-like relatively thin rigid unitary body having first and second non-magnetic body segments joined together along a common bend line at an obtuse angle, said first and second body segments having bottom surfaces, said bottom surfaces having substantially the same surface areas, magnetic sheet material having planar magnetic surfaces substantially co-extensive in size with the body segments secured to the bottom surfaces of the body segments, said magnetic sheet material having a bend line generally parallel to the bend line of the body segments, said bend line of the magnetic sheet material functioning as a fulcrum whereby all of said bottom magnetic surfaces are alternately engageable with a magnetically attractive surface in direct contact therewith and through said thin non-magnetic sheet material to be held against the magnetically attractive surface.
