Abstract:
A convertible force latching system includes two complementary connector bodies. Each connector body has a first mating face under which two series of magnets oriented alternating directions. A moving portion of the latching system allows the connector bodies and the magnets within to alter their alignment by the interaction of a user along a predetermined motion path. In a first arrangement, the series of magnets are aligned with such that the magnets of one connector body are attracted to the magnets of the other connector body. When the user actuation shifts the moving portion, the second arrangement positions the series of magnets such that they are aligned such that the magnets of one connector body are repelled to the magnets of the other connector body.

Claim (Index 19):
A convertible force latching system for an electrical connector comprising\n a first connector body with a first mating face on one side thereof, the first mating surface positioned substantially around a first electrical contact; the first connector body comprising a first and a second series of magnets, with at least one magnet in each series, each magnet with a north pole and a south pole, the first and second series arranged in a circle with magnets of the first and second series in an alternating pattern within the first connector body, wherein the magnets of the first series are oriented in a first direction and the magnets of the second series oriented in a second direction opposite the first; a second connector body with a second mating face on one side thereof and a motion guide, the second mating surface positioned substantially around a second electrical contact; the second mating surface shaped to be complementary to the first mating surface and the first electrical contact; and the second connector body comprising a third and a fourth series of magnets, of at least one magnet in each series, each magnet with a north pole and a south pole, the third and fourth series arranged in a circle with magnets of the third and fourth series in an alternating pattern within the second connector body, wherein the magnets of the third series are oriented in a first direction and the magnets of the fourth series oriented in a second direction opposite the first, wherein in a first arrangement, the first and second series of magnets are aligned with the third and fourth series of magnets, respectively, in a first position such that the first and second series of magnets are attracted to the third and fourth series of magnets; wherein in a second arrangement, the first and second series of magnets are aligned with the fourth and third series of magnets, respectively, in a second position such that the first and second series of magnets are repelled by the third and fourth series of magnets; and wherein user interaction along a predetermined motion path as determined by the motion guide, shifts the arrangement of the first and second series of magnets from the first position to the second position.
