Patent ID: 7845384

Claim:
A partition system comprising: at least one door having at least one foldable partition coupled with a first post member; a first structure formed of a ferrous material, the first structure including a plate slidably coupled with the first post member and a handle coupled with the plate, wherein the handle and the plate are configured for concurrent displacement relative to the first post member; a second post member configured for mating engagement with the first post member; and a second structure including a housing member and a magnet partially disposed within the housing member, the second structure coupled with the second post member, wherein the first structure and the second structure are located and cooperatively configured with a selective magnetic coupling mechanism for selective magnetic coupling of the first structure and the second structure with one another when the first post member and the second post member are engaged, the selective magnetic coupling mechanism movable between a first position to provide an attractive magnetic flux between the first structure and the second structure and a second position to provide no significant magnetic flux between the first structure and the second structure; and wherein an opening is formed in the second post member, wherein the magnet is sized, located and configured to at least partially extend through the opening formed in the second post member.
