ABSTRACT:
A magnetic lock device easily can be fastened to a fastening member on an object or article such as the flap of a handbag, thereby saving labor costs incurred in fastening the device to the object. Also, any thickened portion that may occur on a fastening member when the device is fastened to the object can be minimized. The magnetic lock device includes a first element incorporating a permanent magnet that acts as a magnetically attracting part and a second element that acts as a magnetically attracted part. The second element includes an attachment having pointed lugs shaped like saw teeth. A receiver having a curled edge formed as an arc in cross section inside and around a peripheral margin of a fastening side receives the pointed lugs extending through the fastening member.
