Patent ID: 8191846

Claim:
A magnetic support for aquariums, comprising: (a) a first support element suitable for sustaining an aquarium fitting; and (b) a second support element, wherein each of the first support element and the second support element comprises at least one magnet so that the first support element and the second support are coupled with an aquarium wall interposed between the first support element and the second support element so that an attracting magnetic force operating between the two magnets locks the first support element and the second support element against the wall, wherein each of the first support element and the second support element comprises an essentially flat element made up of flexible material and having a peripheral projecting lip made of the same flexible material; so that when the two support elements are coupled together interposing the wall, the peripheral projecting lip of the first support element is flattened against the wall, or the peripheral projecting lip of the second support element is flattened against the wall, or the peripheral protecting lip of the first support element and the second support element is flattened against the wall, thus creating a suction effect that gradually and firmly locks the first support element and the second support element to the wall, and wherein the essentially flat element covers the front surface of the magnet that comes into contact with the wall of an aquarium.
