Abstract:
1. A fastening device, the fastening device comprising; a first locking body having a first magnet with a magnetically interacting operable surface; a second locking body having a second magnet with a magnetically interacting operable surface; a slider body slidably connected to a first zipper track; the first locking body affixed to the first zipper track; the second locking body affixed to a second zipper track; wherein the magnetically interacting operable surface of the first magnet is generally perpendicular to the top surface of the first zipper track and the direction at which teeth of the second zipper track protrude is generally normal to the magnetically interacting operable interface of the first magnet; and the magnetically interacting operable surface of the second magnet is generally perpendicular to the top surface of the second zipper track and the direction at which teeth of the first zipper track protrude is generally normal to the magnetically interacting operable interface of the second magnet; wherein the first and second locking bodies reversibly form a single element through the attractive force of the first and second magnets.
