US Patent 9061400 Magnetic fixture

A fixture in which an attractive magnetic force is utilized to join two parts of a container or housing together is discussed. The fixture comprises a fixture body portion, a fixture base portion and a removable fixture plate portion. At least one body magnet resides within the fixture body portion and at least one plate magnet resides within the removable fixture plate. The fixture body and plate magnets are positioned such that when they are brought together, an attractive magnetic force pulls the plate towards the fixture body. Therefore, when the respective housing portions are positioned within the fixture, the magnetic force compresses the housing portions together.
