Patent attributes
A magnetic closure bumper assembly is used in conjunction with a movable structure that engages a stationary structure. The magnetic bumper assembly includes a first closure bumper and a second closure bumper. The first closure bumper includes a first bumper casing in which a first magnet is disposed. The first bumper casing has a mounting surface configured for attachment to the movable structure and an engagement surface opposing the mounting surface. The second closure bumper includes a second bumper casing in which a second magnet is disposed. The second bumper casing has a mounting surface configured for attachment to the stationary structure and an engagement surface opposing the mounting surface. Magnetic attraction between the first and second magnets causes the first closure bumper to be attracted to the second closure bumper, thereby urging the engagement surface of the first bumper casing to removably contact the engagement surface of the second bumper casing as the movable structure is moved toward the stationary structure.
