Abstract:
In adaptive clothing, magnetic members engage to magnetically fasten a lower front layer and an upper front layer. A first magnetic member is provided in a housing having a base extending beyond the boundaries of the magnet. The base is sewn to fabric. The housing is secured in a placket to be affixed to a garment upper layer. A second magnetic member is placed in an interior enclosure of a lower front layer. A button or other component is secured to the exterior side of the upper front layer to provide the appearance of a buttoned placket. To close the garment, the first magnetic member is brought in proximity to the second magnetic member. The placket may be constructed as a separate unit and attached to the garment in a separate operation, allowing construction of the placket without manipulating the entire garment. Cuffs are prepared in a manner similar to the placket.

Claim (Index 1):
An article of adaptive clothing comprising an upper front layer for fastening to a lower front layer and which is closed by placing an end of the upper front layer over an end of the lower front layer comprising:\n a placket for fixing to an upper body front the placket comprising fabric and having an end extending in a longitudinal direction and having a fold extending in a transverse direction over a predetermined length of a lower surface of the placket; at least one upper magnet assembly fastened to said lower surface comprising an upper magnet in a housing, the housing comprising a base, the base having sufficient strength to prevent tearing and pulling forces of the fabric; a button affixed to an outer surface of a section of said upper body front substantially in registration with said magnet; a first sewing line and a second sewing line each extending in the longitudinal direction on opposite sides of the magnet assembly, said section and said first and second sewing lines comprising a placket.
