Magnetic attachment assembly for attaching trim board to walls ceilings and other surface structures
A magnetic attachment assembly for attaching a first object to a second object includes a first and second ferromagnetic devices possessing an attractive magnetic property pulling each toward one another. The first ferromagnetic device is attached to the first object and an adhesive layer on the second ferromagnetic device is for attaching the second ferromagnetic device to the second object. A removable separator is initially positioned intermediate the first ferromagnetic device and the second ferromagnetic device and is frictionally held in place prior to attachment of the second ferromagnetic device to the second object. During installation, the user pushes the attachment assembly onto the second object, pulls the first ferromagnetic device away from the second ferromagnetic device, removes the separator, and then pushes the first ferromagnetic device back to the second ferromagnetic device thereby attaching the first object to the second object.
ENCLOSURES AND CORRESPONDING MAGNETIC JOINTS
Enclosures and corresponding magnetic joints. An apparatus includes an enclosure. The enclosure includes a magnetic panel joint formed by: a first panel carrying a magnet and comprising a first pocket; a second panel including a second pocket; and a ferromagnetic shield coupled within the second pocket and couplable within the first pocket via the magnet.
MODULAR PANEL MOUNT STRIP
A modular panel mount strip for mounting a panel or piece of art to a wall comprising an elongate body and a magnet. The elongate body includes a magnet housing, a segmentation groove, and at least one interlocking feature. The magnet housing retains the magnet within the elongate body. The segmentation groove is located between a top edge of the elongate body and a bottom edge of the elongate body and can be structured and configured to be broken by human force without breaking other parts of the elongate body. The interlocking feature includes a hinged portion on a first end of the elongate body and/or a locking portion on an opposing end of the elongate body. The locking portion of a first modular panel mount strip can interlock with the hinged portion of a second modular panel mount strip, thereby creating an interlocking mechanism and lengthening the overall device.
BUILDING PANEL ADAPTED TO BE MOUNTED AT A CEILING OR WALL OF A ROOM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH BUILDING PANEL
The panel includes a frame formed by profile members (6) and a plate member (10) extending therebetween. A textile (11) extends between the profile members which are formed by bending an edge area of a metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10), thereby forming said profile members in one piece with the plate member. Said edge area forms a rounded edge (16) connecting the plate member with the profile member. The profile member includes a first oblique section (21) of the metal plate forming an acute angle with the plate member and having a first end being connected to the rounded edge. The textile is bent about the rounded edge, and an edge element (24) attached along an edge (12) of the textile is adapted to slide along the first oblique section and is spring-biased in the direction of a second end (23) of the first oblique section.
Fastening device for fastening elements
A fastening device for fastening soft surfaced elements to each other comprises a planar top portion and two side portions. The side portions are coupled with the planar portion at one end via an angle portion, and are arranged essentially perpendicularly in relation to said planar top portion and essentially parallel with each other thereby forming a receiving opening for receiving said element between the side portions. In addition the side portions both comprise at least one tooth, which is inclined towards the opening and the element in use and thereby arranged to fasten, such as via friction or via penetration into the surface of the element, and thereby fasten the device to the element. Moreover at least one of the portions comprises a protrusion portion for receiving, focusing and attaching a magnetic member to the device so to allow the device to be fastened to an external member via said magnetic member.
ADJUSTABLE MAGNETIC COUPLER
Provided is an adjustable magnetic coupler 10 for operatively and removably attaching cladding 20 to a ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the coupler 10 including a first body 12 including a first magnetised element 12.3 for attaching to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the first body 12 operatively associated with a second body 14 which includes a second magnetised element 14.4 configured for magnetically attaching to an article of cladding 20 to be attached to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5 via the coupler 10. Also included is an adjustor 16 for selectively adjusting the distance between the first and second elements to adjust a separation between said cladding and the ferromagnetic surface.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING DURABLE, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE, EXTRUDED SHEET GOODS HAVING A DESIRED SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The present invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for producing a dimensionally stable extruded board product for use in surface coverings. The board product may be a basalt casting powder-based product for use as a substrate for wall or other surface coverings or may be used as a core layer in a modular floor covering unit. The modular floor covering unit comprises multiple layers. The layers are a thin cut stone veneer layer, a core layer with a density similar to that of the thin cut stone veneer layer, and an optional magnetically receptive underlayment layer. Other layers or combinations of layers may also be used.
