ABSTRACT:
A fastener comprising a male member (A) and a female member (B), wherein a projection (P) including a magnet is disposed on the male member and the female member defines an opening adapted to receive the projection. A slidable engagement member (60), which includes a ferromagnetic portion (61) and a non-magnetic or weakly magnetic portion (62), is disposed within the female member and is slidable relative thereto. The engagement member is positioned such that after the male member is inserted into the female member the attraction between the ferromagnetic portion and the magnet moves the engagement member into a locking relationship with the male member.
