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 1):
A convertible force latching system comprising\n a first connector body with a first mating face, the first connector body further comprising:\n a first series of at least one magnet, each first magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a first direction arranged within the first connector body proximate to the first mating surface; \n a second series of at least one magnet, each second magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a second direction, different than the first direction, arranged within the first connector body; and \n a second connector body with a second mating face, the second connector body further comprising:\n a third series of at least one magnet, each third magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a first direction arranged within the second connector body proximate to the second mating surface in a manner complementary with the arrangement of the first series; \n a fourth series of at least one magnet, each fourth magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a second direction, different than the first direction, arranged within the connector body in a manner complementary to the second series; \n 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, shifts the arrangement of the first and second series of magnets from the first position to the second position.
