latching mechanisms for handbags. Despite the need to securely
close the bag, the handbag must also be easy and quick to open,
and, when open, it must be easy to access the interior for viewing
and to retrieve the needed items. A suitable solution is
desired.
[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 7,152,282 to Antonio Costa relates to a
fastening clip for jewelry, handbags, etc. The described fastening
clip for jewelry, handbags, etc., includes a fastener for clips to
be applied to jewelry and costume jewelry products and to clothing
accessories, bags and the like. The fastener utilizes a mechanical
device actuated through the action of magnets. According to one
arrangement, the mobile components of the clip, shaped
substantially in the form of small pins that carry out the
mechanical fastening, consist of magnets, for which, in each pair
of said permanent magnets, there is mutual attraction and therefore
closing of the fastening device when they are arranged with the
poles opposite, i.e., when one is arranged in such a way that its
positive pole faces towards the negative pole of the other.
