Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a closure device for connecting two components to one another. Background Art

[0002] The closure device comprises a first closure part and a second closure part, the first closure part being associated with the first component and having a first magnetic element, and the second closure part having a second magnetic element. The first closure part and the second closure part are attachable to each other in a closing direction under conditions of magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, are mechanically and / or magnetically held together in a closed position, and can be separated from each other to open the closure device.

[0003] Such a closure device can be designed, for example, as a magnetomechanical closure element, as described in EP 2 040 572 B1, EP 2 252 176 B1, EP 2 833 754 B1, EP 2 825 075 B1, WO 2019 / 096447 A1 or WO 2018 / 158336 A1.

[0004] Typically, two components can be connected to each other via such a closure device. In this case, the attachment is magnetically assisted by a magnetic element, so that the closure parts are magnetically attracted to each other during attachment. In the closed position, the closure parts are held together by magnetic attraction and, preferably, by an additional mechanical locking mechanism. To open the closure device, the closure parts can be separated, allowing the components to be separated from each other.

[0005] The closure element is usually designed as a rigid element. In contrast, the second component can be a flexible component, such as a textile component, for example. In this case, there is a requirement to connect the second closure element to the associated second component flexibly, simply and cost-effectively. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a closure device which enables a flexible, simple and cost-effective connection of at least one closure element to an associated component.

[0007] This object is achieved by the subject matter having the characteristics of the present invention.

[0008] According to this, the closure device has a connecting part with a fastening device for fastening a second closure part on the connecting part and an integrated section for fixing the connecting part to the second component.

[0009] The connecting component is configured as an additional part of the first and second closing components and is used to connect the second closing component to the associated second assembly by fixing the connecting component to the second assembly and securing the second closing component via a fastening device provided on the connecting component.

[0010] The connecting component is thus used to integrate the closure device into the second component of the assembly. To this end, the integrating section of the connecting component can be designed, for example, as a planar section that can be attached to and connected to the second component of the assembly. In particular, the integrating section can be securely and non-detachably connected to the second component of the assembly (i.e., cannot be detached without damage). For example, the integrating section can be designed to connect the connecting component to the second component by sewing, welding, or gluing.

[0011] In the fastened position, the second closure part is securely and load-bearingly connected to the connecting part via the fastening device and thus to the associated second component. The fastening device can be designed in this case so that the second closure part is non-releasably connected to the connecting part. In another embodiment, the closure device can be designed so that the second closure part can be released again from the connecting part.

[0012] For example, the fastening device can be designed so that when the load force is exceeded, the second closing component can be loosened from the connecting component. This can achieve emergency opening by releasing the connection between the second closing component and the connecting component under excessive load.

[0013] By providing a connecting element, the integration of the closure device into the second component of the assembly can be decoupled from the second closure element. Therefore, in order to integrate the closure device, the connecting element is connected to the associated second component, for example, by sewing, welding or gluing. The second closure element can then be connected to the fastening device of the connecting element and fixed to the associated second component. In this case, the connecting element can be designed as a simple, low-cost component, and its material can be particularly adapted to the second component, for example by the following means: the integration section is flexibly and deformably designed so that it can be adapted to the shape of the second component and connected to the second component in a simple manner, for example, by sewing, welding or gluing.

[0014] The second closure element can be connected in particular to a connecting element which is already fastened to the second component via the integrated section. This allows the connecting element to be first placed on the second component and then the second closure element to be fastened to the connecting element, in order to connect the second closure element to the associated second component in this way.

[0015] The second component can be, for example, a textile component, such as a shoe or a garment. By implementing an intermediate piece between the second closure component and the second component via the connecting component, the second component can be manufactured and connected to the connecting component without the second closure component already being connected to the connecting component. This prevents influences on the second closure component during manufacture of the second component, such as thermal effects on the second magnetic element of the second closure component.

[0016] The connecting element can be made into a low-cost component, for example, made of plastic. In this case, the connecting element can be designed as a flat structure, which enables the second assembly, for example, in the form of a textile component, to be made in a flat process.

[0017] If the second closure element can be released again from the connecting element, simple recycling is achieved by releasing the second closure element from the associated component so that the second closure element or at least a part thereof, such as the second magnet element, can be reused. Furthermore, maintenance, renewal or repair can be carried out by replacing or restoring the second closure element.

[0018] The connecting parts can be made as identical parts and can be used with completely different closure devices, which can further contribute to low-cost production.

[0019] The connecting element can also be designed completely as a component of an associated assembly, for example as a housing part in which the fastening device is implemented.

[0020] The connecting element can be designed as a moisture-proof component and can be tightly connected to the associated second component.

[0021] The integrated section can have a planar design and, for example, can be flexibly deformable. When the connecting component is fixed to the second component, the integrated section is connected to the second component and can, for example, flexibly adapt to the shape of the second component. In one embodiment, the connecting component can assume another function of the upper component. For example, the connecting component can have one or more eyelets, for example, for receiving a traction mechanism of the upper component, such as a belt or rope. In another embodiment, the connecting component can have one or more guides, such as longitudinal guides, for guiding components of the upper component.

[0022] In one embodiment, the fastening device is configured to establish a form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection with the second closure part. In order to fasten, the second closure part can be attached to the fastening device of the connecting part and remain in a fastened position on the fastening device, so that the second closure part is connected to the associated second assembly via this.

[0023] For example, in one embodiment, the fastening device can have at least one form-fitting element for establishing a form-fitting connection. For example, there can be two form-fitting elements, between which the second closure part can be inserted, in order to achieve a form-fitting connection between the second closure part and the connecting part.

[0024] In one embodiment, the second closure part can be connected to at least one form-fitting element along the fastening direction. If two form-fitting elements are present, the second closure part can be pushed between the two form-fitting elements, for example, along the fastening direction, in order to thereby secure the second closure part to the form-fitting element in a form-fitting manner.

[0025] In this case, it can be provided that the second closure part is secured in the fastening position along the fastening direction by at least one locking element. For example, the second closure part can be connected to one or more form-fitting elements along the fastening direction in such a way that, in the fastening position, the second closure part strikes a stop element and thereby assumes a defined position relative to the one or more form-fitting elements. In this defined fastening position, the second closure part is secured in a locking manner by the one or more locking elements, such that the second closure part cannot be released from the one or more form-fitting elements counter to the fastening direction, at least without releasing the lock of at least one locking element.

[0026] In another design, the fastening device is configured to establish a bayonet connection with the second closure member. To this end, the fastening device can, for example, have an opening into which the second closure member can be inserted so that the second closure member is fastened to the connecting member. The opening can, for example, be designed as a circular opening, wherein the second closure member can rotate in the opening about a (vertical) rotation axis that is centrally located relative to the circular opening so as to establish a bayonet connection. In a first rotational position, the second closure member can be attached to the connecting member. By establishing a bayonet connection from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, the second closure member is fixed to the connecting member.

[0027] For example, the fastening device can include at least one engaging element that projects into the opening to establish a bayonet connection with the second closure part. For example, a plurality of engaging elements can be arranged on the connecting part so as to extend into the opening. When the second closure part is inserted into the opening, the engaging elements engage with the second closure part, wherein the bayonet connection is established by twisting the second closure part in the opening, thereby fastening the second closure part to the connecting part.

[0028] In one embodiment, the fastening device has a side surface, in particular a cylindrical side surface, which extends around the opening and on which at least one engagement element is arranged. The second closure part is attached to the side surface in order to establish the connection with the connecting part.

[0029] In one embodiment, the second closure part has at least one engagement opening into which at least one engagement element engages when establishing the bayonet connection. The engagement opening can, for example, be formed on the cylindrical body of the closure part and can constitute an insertion section into which the at least one engagement element is inserted when the second closure part is attached to the connecting part. A locking section is connected to the insertion section, into which the at least one engagement element is pushed when the second closure part is rotated relative to the connecting part about the rotation axis, thereby establishing the bayonet connection between the second closure part and the connecting part.

[0030] In one embodiment, the second closure part has a body and a receiving opening arranged in the body for receiving the second magnetic element. The magnetic element of the second closure part is arranged in the receiving opening, wherein the receiving opening is closed to the outside, for example, by the connecting part when the second closure part is fastened to the connecting part. The connecting part (preferably moisture-proof for this purpose) thus encapsulates the second magnetic element in the body of the second closure part. During the period when the receiving opening is open to the outside before the second closure part is connected to the connecting part, the receiving opening is closed by the connection of the second closure part to the connecting part, so that the magnetic element is received in the body in an encapsulated, preferably moisture-proof manner.

[0031] The closure device can be designed, for example, in the form of a magnetomechanical closure, as described in EP 2 040 572 B1, EP 2 252176 B1, EP 2 833 754 B1, EP 2 825 075 B1, WO 2019 / 096447 A1 or WO 2018 / 158336 A1.

[0032] The closure device can, for example, form a winding section on the first closure part for winding a traction means (which in this case forms the first component), such as a traction rope, such as a shoe lace. For example, the first closure part can have a first toothing section and the second closure part can have a second toothing section. In the closed position in which the first and second closure parts are connected to each other, the toothing sections engage in a toothed manner with each other, wherein the first closure part can, for example, be twisted relative to the second closure part in a winding direction in order to wind the tension element onto the winding section of the first closure part, while reverse twisting counter to the winding direction is prevented due to the toothing engagement, so that the tension element cannot be unwound counter to the winding direction when the first and second closure parts are connected to each other in the closed position.

[0033] In another embodiment, the first closure part can have a rigid first engagement element and the second closure part can have a rigid second engagement element, which engage with each other in a form-fitting manner in the closed position. A force introduction element, for example in the form of a clip for fastening a strap, can be provided on the first closure part. The force introduction element can be movable relative to the first engagement element, for example, pivotable, and can be coupled to the rigid engagement element of the first closure part at a force introduction point. In this case, the force introduction point can be located in the region of the front end of the first engagement element, which faces the rigid second engagement element of the second closure part in the closed position.

[0034] In another design, the first closure part can have a blocking element in the form of a rigid pin, which can be locked and engaged with the spring-locking element of the second closure part. In this case, the closure part can be connected by being attached to the second closure part along the closing direction, and the closure device can be opened by the movement of the closure part along the opening direction different from the closing direction. In this case, the opening direction can for example be transverse to the closing direction orientation. The spring-locking element for example can have the form of a C-ring, which surrounds the pin-shaped blocking element of the first closure part in the closed position and sets up locking between the closure parts. In order to open, the blocking element can be pushed out of the zone of the spring-locking element along the opening direction, so as to remove locking in this way.

[0035] In one embodiment, a device includes a closure device of the type described above, wherein a first closure component is sewn, welded, or bonded to a first component of the device, and an integrated section of the connecting element is sewn, welded, or bonded to a second component of the device. For example, the device can be entirely or partially a textile device, such as a shoe, a garment, a bag, a backpack, or a case. The second closure component can be fastened to the textile section of the device, in particular, via the integrated section.

[0036] According to another aspect, a closure device for connecting two components to each other comprises a first closure part associated with the first component of the component and having a first magnetic element, and a second closure part associated with the second component of the component and having a second magnetic element. The first closure part and the second closure part can be attached to each other along a closing direction under magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, are mechanically and / or magnetically held together in the closed position and can be separated from each other to open the closure device. Additionally, the closure device has a fastening device for fastening the second closure part to the second component. The fastening device is configured to establish a bayonet connection with the second closure part.

[0037] In the closure device, the second closure part is thus fixed to the second component. This is achieved via a fastening device in the form of a bayonet closure, by means of which the second closure part can be fastened to the second component, for example to a housing part of the second component.

[0038] In this design, the second closure part is therefore fixed directly to the second component via the bayonet connection.For this purpose, the fastening device can be a component of the second component and can be integrated into the second component, for example into a housing part of the second component.

[0039] In order to establish the bayonet connection, the fastening device on the second component can, for example, have an opening into which the second closure part can be inserted so that the second closure part is fastened to the second component. The opening can, for example, be designed as a circular opening, wherein the second closure part can rotate in the opening around a (vertical) rotation axis centrally located relative to the circular opening to establish the bayonet connection. In the first rotational position, the second closure part can be attached to the second component. By twisting from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, the bayonet connection is established so that the second closure part is fixed to the second component.

[0040] The fastening device can, for example, include at least one engaging element protruding into the opening to establish a bayonet connection with the second closure component. For example, a plurality of engaging elements can be provided that extend into the opening. When the second closure component is inserted into the opening, the engaging element engages with the second closure component, wherein the bayonet connection is established by twisting the second closure component in the opening, thereby fastening the second closure component to the second component of the assembly.

[0041] In one embodiment, the fastening device has a side surface, in particular a cylindrical side surface, which extends around the opening and on which at least one engagement element is arranged. The second closure part is attached to the side surface in order to establish a connection with the second component.

[0042] In one embodiment, the second closure component has at least one engagement opening into which at least one engagement element engages when establishing the bayonet connection. The engagement opening can, for example, be formed on the cylindrical body of the closure component and can constitute an insertion section into which the at least one engagement element is inserted when the second closure component is attached to the connecting component. A locking section is connected to the insertion section, and when the second closure component is rotated about the rotation axis relative to the fastening device, the at least one engagement element is pushed into the locking section, thereby establishing the bayonet connection between the second closure component and the second component of the assembly.

[0066] Figures 1 to 5A 5C shows a first embodiment of a closure device 1 having a first closure part 2, a second closure part 3, and a connecting part 4. The first closure part 2 is associated with a first component 5, which in the embodiment shown is a traction mechanism in the form of a belt or rope for clothing or shoes, for example. In contrast, the second closure part 3 is associated with a second component 6, which is, for example, a textile section of clothing or shoes, wherein the second closure part 3 is fixed to the second component 6 in the ready position via the connecting part 4.

[0067] The closure device 1 is designed as a magnetomechanical closure device. In the ready position, the second closure part 3 is fixed on the connecting part 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and 3 The first closure part 2 can be attached to the second closure part 3 in the closing direction X and thus connected to the second closure part 3, wherein the first closure part 2 and the second closure part 3 each have magnetic elements 24, 34, which face each other in a magnetically attractive manner when the closure parts 2, 3 are attached to each other, thereby magnetically assisting the attachment.

[0068] exist Figure 3 In the closed position shown in FIG, the closure parts 2, 3 are held together due to the magnetic attraction between the magnet elements 24, 34.

[0069] As from Figure 2 、 3 As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the first closure part 2 has a body 20 that, on the side facing the second closure part 3, forms a toothing section 23 in the form of a conical internal toothing. A winding section 22 in the form of a winding groove is formed on the body 20, onto which a traction element 5, for example, in the form of a traction rope, is wound and from which the traction element 5 can be unwound again. A gripping element 21 is fixedly arranged on the body 20, via which a user can grip the first closure part 2 in order to establish or release the connection between the closure parts 2, 3 or to twist the first closure part 2 relative to the second closure part 3.

[0070] The second closure part 3 has a body 30 on which a toothing section 33 is formed on the side facing the first closure part 2, said toothing section 33 circumferentially surrounding the pin section 32. A magnet element 34 associated with the second closure part 3 is accommodated in the pin section 32 in an accommodating opening 301.

[0071] In the closed position of the closure device 1, the toothed sections 23, 33 of the closure parts 2, 3 are in toothed engagement with one another, and the pin section 32 of the second closure part 3 engages in the first closure part 2 for rotational support. In the illustrated embodiment, the toothed sections 23, 33 are shaped so that the first closure part 2 can be twisted relative to the second closure part 3 in the winding direction while the toothed sections 23, 33 slide relative to one another, for example, to wind the traction element 5 onto the winding section 22 of the first closure part 2. However, reverse rotation is prevented by the toothed engagement, so that the traction element 5 can be tightened but not easily loosened, at least when the closure parts 2, 3 are not loosened from one another.

[0072] In order to open the closure device 1 , the first closure part 2 can be removed from the second closure part 3 counter to the closing direction X, against the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic elements 24 , 34 .

[0073] In the embodiment shown, the second closure part 3 is fixed to the associated component 6 via a connecting part 4. In this case, the connecting part 4 can be produced as a simple, cost-effective component, for example made of plastic, and in particular without magnetic elements.

[0074] The connecting element 4 forms an integrated section 42 which extends in a planar manner and can be flexibly deformed, for example. The connecting element 4 can be fixed to the component 6 via the integrated section 42, for example by sewing, welding or gluing.

[0075] If combined Figure 4B from Figure 1As can be seen in FIG, the connecting part 4 is formed as a cylindrical collar with side surfaces 40 formed thereon, said side surfaces surrounding an opening 400. In order to fasten the second closure part 3 to the connecting part 4, the body 30 of the second closure part 3 can be inserted into the opening 400, so that the fastening means 41 in the collar interact with the body 30 of the second closure part 3 and thus establish a fastening between the second closure part 3 and the connecting part 4.

[0076] The operating device 41 is constituted by an engagement element 410 in the form of a protrusion protruding inwardly into the opening 400. When the second closure part 3 is attached to the connecting part 4, the engagement element 410 engages with the engagement opening 31 on the body 30 of the second closure part 3, so that a connection between the second closure part 3 and the connecting part 4 is established via this.

[0077] The engagement element 410 and the engagement opening 31 are designed to establish a bayonet connection. When the second closure member 3 is inserted into the opening 400, the engagement element 410 first engages with the axially open insertion section 310 of the engagement opening 31. Figure 5B from Figure 1 If the engagement element 410 has been inserted into the insertion section 310, the second closure component 3 can be twisted relative to the connecting component 4 along the fastening direction U around the rotation axis D, so that the engagement element 410 enters the locking section 311 of the engagement opening 31, which is connected to the insertion section 310 along the fastening direction U, as shown in combination with Figure 5B and 5C from Figure 1 As seen in.

[0078] Figure 5C The locking position is shown when the bayonet connection is established, in which the engagement element 410 is located in the locking section 311 and, via this, the second closure part 3 is connected to the connecting part 4 in a form-fitting manner.

[0079] A blocking element 312 is formed in the locking section 311 in the form of a protruding locking bead which, in the fastened position when the bayonet connection is established, engages with an associated locking opening 411 on the engagement element 410, as can be seen from FIG. Figure 5C Thus, the second closure part 3 is fixed in the fastened position relative to the connecting part 4 to prevent loosening.

[0080] In the illustrated embodiment, the second closure part 3 is connected in the ready position via the connecting part 4 to an associated component 6, such as a textile section of clothing. The second closure part 3 can also be released from the connecting part 4 by releasing the bayonet connection by releasing the coupling element 410 from the coupling opening 31. This allows, for example, maintenance, renewal, or repair of the closure device 1 by replacing or restoring the second closure part 3. This also allows for simple recycling, as the second closure part 3 can be easily released from the connecting part 4 and reused.

[0081] Figures 6 to 13A 13B shows another embodiment of a closure device 1 having a first closure part 2, a second closure part 3 and a connecting part 4. The second closure part 3 can again be fastened to the associated component via the connecting part 4, wherein the closure parts 2, 3 can be connected to one another in a ready position in order to thereby establish a connection between the associated components.

[0082] In the illustrated embodiment, the first closure part 2 comprises a body 20 in the form of a rigid element, on which a coupling member 25 is formed at one end. A force introduction element 26 in the form of a clamp is hingedly connected to the body 20 in a pivotable manner about a force introduction axis 260. An operating element 27 in the form of a connecting plate is provided on the body 20 and can be operated by a user to release the closure parts 2, 3 from each other by grasping the operating element 27 and thereby pulling the closure parts 2, 3 apart.

[0083] For example, a connection between the first closure part 2 and an associated component in the form of a belt or the like can be established via the force introduction element 26 .

[0084] The second closure part 3 has a body 30 on which a rigid engagement element 35 is formed, which forms a blocking section 350 in the form of an undercut on a rigid section 351. A blocking element 36 is formed on the body 30, laterally offset and parallel to the engagement element 35.

[0085] The first closure part 2 and the second closure part 3 have magnetic elements 24, 34, respectively, as shown in FIG. Figure 9B As seen in the cross-sectional view.

[0086] In order to close the closure device 1, the closure parts 2, 3 can be attached to each other along the closing direction X, as in Figures 7 to 8 As seen in the transition.

[0087] In the closed position of the closure device 1 , the engagement element 25 of the first closure part 2 engages positively with the engagement element 35 of the second closure part 3 , wherein the engagement is protected by a blocking element 36 on the body 30 of the second closure part 3 .

[0088] By positioning the force introduction axis 260 between the contact surface 352 on the coupling element 35, to which the coupling element 35 is directed in the closed position, and a vertical plane A passing through the center of gravity of the magnetic element 34, a stable retention of the closure parts 2, 3 relative to each other in the closed position is achieved, in that the closure parts 2, 3 are magnetically attracted to each other in the closed position by the magnetic elements 24, 34 and the engagement between the coupling elements 25, 35 is further protected by the blocking element 36.

[0089] Furthermore, in the closed position, the protective protrusions 28 on the body 20 of the first closure part 2 engage with associated protective openings 300 on the body 30 of the second closure part 3 in order in this way to protect the lateral position of the closure parts 2, 3 relative to each other.

[0090] The user can remove the first closure part 2 from the second closure part 3 by pulling the operating element 27 and thereby remove the blocking caused by the blocking element 36. By pulling the operating element 27, the closure parts 2, 3 can thus be released from each other in a simple manner.

[0091] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the connecting part 4 has a fastening device 41 which is designed to produce a positive connection with the second closure part 3 .

[0092] The fastening device 41 has two mutually parallel extending form-fitting elements 412, between which the body 30 of the second closure part 3 can be pushed along a fastening direction U perpendicular to the closing direction X, as in combination with Figures 10 to 13A 、 Figure 13B from Figure 6 In the fastened position, the body 30 is located between the form-fitting elements 412 and contacts the stop element 413 via the front edge, so that the body 30 adopts a defined position between the form-fitting elements 412 along the fastening direction U. The position of the body 30 relative to the connecting part 4 is protected in this case by a locking element 414, which is deflected when the body 30 is pushed in and engages with the rear edge of the body 30 in the fastened position, thereby securing the retention of the second closure part 3 on the connecting part 4 along the fastening direction U.

[0093] By releasing the locking of the locking element 414 , the connection between the second closure part 3 and the connecting part 4 is released in that the second closure part 3 is pushed counter to the fastening direction U to disengage from the form-fitting element 412 .

[0094] The connection by the form-fit element 412 in the fastened position can be realized in such a way that in the event of excessive load, for example when a tearing force exceeding a limit force is exerted on the second closure part 3, the second closure part 3 Figure 3 It is possible to disconnect the form-fit element 412 in the vertical direction. In this way, an emergency release can be provided in the event of excessive load.

[0095] exist Figures 14 to 16 In another embodiment shown in FIG, the closure device 1 has the same Figures 1 to 5A -5C embodiment described the same closure parts 2, 3. The closure parts 2, 3 and Figures 14 to 16 and Figures 1 to 5A -5C embodiment of the closure member is identical in function and structure, wherein the closure member 2 for simplified overview is in Figures 14 to 16 Not shown in the figure.

[0096] According to Figures 1 to 5A -5C embodiment compared to the Figures 14 to 16 In the embodiment of the present invention, no separate connecting component 4 is provided, but the fastening device 41 can be integrated into the housing component of the associated second component 6, so that the second closing component 3 can be directly fastened to the second component 6 via the fastening device 41.

[0097] If already based on Figures 1 to 5A As described in -5C, the fastening device 41 comprises an engagement element 410, which is arranged in an opening 400 and projects inwardly into the opening 400, which is formed in the housing part of the assembly 6. By being inserted into the opening 400, the engagement element 410 can engage with the engagement opening 31 on the body 30 of the closure part 3 to establish a bayonet connection, so that a form fit between the engagement element 410 and the body 30 of the closure part 3 is established in this way, for example according to the previous Figures 1 to 5A -5C as described.

[0098] In accordance with Figures 14 to 16 In the embodiment of the present invention, the closure part 3 is therefore fixed directly to the associated second component 6 via a bayonet connection. In this regard, no connecting part 4 is provided that is separate from the second component 6, but rather the fastening device 41 is directly integrated into the second component 6, for example into a housing part of the second component 6.

[0099] In addition, reference should be made to the Figures 1 to 5A -Description of an embodiment of 5C.

[0100] The basic idea on which the present invention is based is not limited to the above-described exemplary embodiments, but can also be implemented in other ways.

[0101] In the embodiment shown, the second closure element is detachable from the connecting element, which enables the second closure element to be repaired, renewed or restored in that the second closure element can be detached from the connecting element and replaced or repaired.

[0102] Furthermore, due to the releasable connection, simple recycling is possible in that the second closure element or at least a part of the second closure element, for example the magnetic element of the second closure element, can be used again.

[0103] The connecting element can be produced simply and cost-effectively and can also be adapted to the associated components.

[0104] Since the second closure part is not fixed directly to the associated component but indirectly via the connecting element, the closure device can also be integrated into components in which direct fastening of the second closure part to the associated component is not easily possible.

[0105] For example, the connecting element can be produced together with the associated component by being fixed to the component during production, or alternatively also produced integrally with the second component. The second closure element is then fixed to the connecting element, thereby preventing the second closure element from being damaged, for example by thermal effects on the magnetic elements of the second closure element during production of the component.
