Claim:
A locking magnet closure, consisting of a first closure module and a second closure module with the following features: a magnet-keeper construction with at least one magnet in the first closure module and a keeper or second magnet in the second closure module, wherein on closing the magnet-keeper construction pulls the first closure module and the second closure module together in a closing direction, for opening, the first closure module and the second closure module are rotatable or shiftable in an opening direction laterally to the closing direction, a locking device for positively locking the closure modules between the first closure module and the second closure module, comprising at least one spring locking element, which consists of an engaging protrusion and a spring and is arranged in the first closure module, and a locking piece, which is arranged in the second closure module, wherein on closing the locking piece pushes the spring locking element to the side in a third direction and then positively snaps into place with the engaging protrusion, and wherein on shifting or rotating the first closure module and the second closure module in the opening direction the locking piece and the spring locking element are rotated or shifted against each other from an engagement position, in which locking piece and spring locking element are in engagement, into a non-engagement position, in which locking piece and spring locking element are not in engagement, without the spring locking element being pushed to the side, wherein the magnet-keeper construction is dimensioned such that on closing the locking device is automatically closed by the magnetic force of the magnet-keeper construction, wherein the spring of the spring locking element is formed and arranged such that it has a dual function, namely that on closing the spring deflects flexurally soft in the third direction, but when applying a load on the closure against the closing direction, the spring is flexurally rigid.
