Patent ID: 7273404

Claim:
A magnetic structural component comprising: a flat polygonal body having a first planar face, the first planar face having a center, a second planar face opposite to the first planar face, at least one edge between the first planar face and the second planar face, the at least one edge defining a thickness of the body, at least one biased corner when the body is viewed in a direction facing the first planar face, and a slot from the at least one edge toward the center of the body when the body is viewed in the direction facing the first planar face, the slot comprising a first side wall, a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, and a third side wall between and transverse to the first side wall and the second side wall, a slot magnet disposed in the body, the slot magnet having a slot magnet axis running from its north to south poles and a magnetic planar face that is perpendicular to the slot magnet axis, the slot magnet axis aligned perpendicularly with the third side wall and parallel to the first sidewall and the second side wall when viewed in the direction facing the first planar face, and the magnetic planar face of the slot magnet disposed adjacent to and parallel with the third side wall, wherein each of the at least one biased corner has a magnet operatively associated therewith, wherein the magnet has an axis from its north to south poles, and wherein the axis is parallel to the first and second planar faces and intersects the center of the body.
