ABSTRACT:
A magnet catcher is used in closing and opening of a door of an audio rack and other cabinets and includes a magnetic stop member mounted on a door. A frame-mounted casing supports a movable member which magnetically retains the stop member when in contact with it. The casing includes a guide recess for guiding a yolk portion of the movable member to permit tilting of the yolk portion. A spring biases the movable member to a position outward of the casing. A rod fixed to the casing has an end guided by the movable member, so as to cause the yolk portion of the movable member to tilt when the door is being opened due to movement of the rod relative to the movable member. As the yolk portion tilts, the magnetic contact area is greatly reduced, and separation of the yolk portion from the stop member is facilitated.
