A system for carrying or using a device includes the device and at least one attachment apparatus. The device may include at least one attachment element. The attachment apparatus may include a length of material and at least one attachment point arranged on an end of the length of material. The at least one attachment point may include at least one magnetic feature configured to attach and detach the device and the length of material. The material can include but is not limited to cloth, metallic (magnetic and non-magnetic), fibrous material, and so forth.

A horse covering using magnetic couplers is shown and described. The horse covering includes a blanket portion, having a front end, a rear end, and two sides. A first strap is secured to the rear end of the blanket portion. The first strap includes a first part of a magnetic coupler secured to the end of the first strap opposite the connection to the blanket portion. A second end of the magnetic coupler is secured to the blanket portion. A second strap secured to the front end of the blanket portion. The second strap has a first part of a magnetic coupler secured to the end of the second strap opposite the connection to the blanket portion. A second end of the magnetic coupler is secured to the blanket portion. The horse covering further includes two front leg straps one secured to each side of the blanket portion.

A closure device for connecting two assemblies to each other includes a first closure part, which is associated to a first one of the assemblies and includes a first magnetic element, and a second closure part which includes a second magnetic element. The first closure part and the second closure part can be attached to each other along a closing direction by magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, are mechanically and/or magnetically held at each other in a closed position, and can be separated from each other for opening the closure device. A connecting part includes a fastening device for fastening the second closure part to the connecting part and an integration portion for fixing the connecting part to a second one of the assemblies.

An adjustable strap comprises an elongated length and mating fastening portions on one side of the strap adjacent to one end of the strap. Gaps or spaces between the mating fastening portions or members provide a tactile effect or response when adjusting the strap to the closed position. The strap is permanently or releasably secured at one end to an attachment point or stabilizing component. The opposite end with the mating fastening portions folds to mate the portions and secure the strap in a closed configuration. The length of the strap can wrap around an object to mate the fastening portions. Alternatively, the length can interact with an additional stabilizing component or guiding member before mating the fastening portions to secure the strap.

A garment with low profile fasteners for removable attachment to a top to keep the top tucked in. The fasteners are low-profile, magnetic, and entirely flexible to improve the comfort to a user. Each fastener includes first and second magnetic components that engage each other. The garment can have a generally rectangular shape with fasteners on a first end and a second end. The magnetic components may be embedded within a tab that is fixedly attached to the first and second ends of the garment. The garment can also be a typical undergarment having a waist band, with the first magnetic components of the fasteners embedded in the waist band that cooperatively engage the separate, second magnetic components.

In this invention, the detachable T-shirt collar, DTSC, is for a regular T-shirt without any provision for a detachable collar. This invented collar is attached through or close to the stretchable T-shirt collar band at the neck to transform a regular T-shirt, old or new, into a more formal attire. The collar attachment is for the standard O-neck and V-neck and the stretchable T-shirt material is compatible with the collar material. The fastening method can use various methods such as a pin, paired magnets, paired male and female clip connectors and tension clips that open and close, all of which can be made from a variety of materials such as metal or plastic.

A system for carrying or using a device includes the device and at least one attachment apparatus. The device may include at least one attachment element. The attachment apparatus may include a length of material and at least one attachment point arranged on an end of the length of material. The at least one attachment point may include at least one magnetic feature configured to attach and detach the device and the length of material. The material can include but is not limited to cloth, metallic (magnetic and non-magnetic), fibrous material, and so forth.

A magnetic sealing closure, comprising: a. a first flexible strip, with a plurality of cavities adapted to incorporate a plurality of magnetic elements; b. a second flexible strip, with a plurality of cavities adapted to incorporate a plurality of magnetic elements; wherein said sealing closure comprises membranes connectable to said first strip, and a second membrane connectable to said second strip, such that said plurality of magnetic elements of said second strip are embedded within said plurality of cavities between said second strip and said second membrane; when said first and second strips and are brought together from the side of said first and second membranes, magnetic elements of said first and said second strips magnetically attract each other, such that a sealing is provided.

The present invention provides a hooded garment having a device to maintain a position of the hood on the wearer's head. In some embodiments, the hood may have one or more magnets positioned in a superior aspect of the hood that is operable to magnetically clasp to a ferrous metal object in headwear worn by the wearer. The one or more magnet clasps may be positioned at or near a seam location at the top medial aspect of the hood.

A system and method of attachment for a tubular garment including a single piece of flat fabric, the fabric has a first side and a second side and at least one pair of magnets on each of the first side and the second side of the fabric. Each pair of magnets has a polarity arrangement to removably attract the first side of fabric and the second side of fabric.
