Attachable magnetic clip and system

Abstract

A magnetic clip device attaches to the clothing of a person and uses magnetic fields to secure the clip to the person's clothing and the secure instruments to the magnetic clip. The clip comprises a strip of flexible material preferably of a generally linear ship. The material having two ends with a magnet incorporated and secured to each end of the material. The flexible characteristic of the material enables the person to bend the material such that the magnetic on the opposite ends attract each other.

1 . A magnetic clip device to be secured to a person's clothing and capable of securing portable items to the person's clothing, the magnetic clip device comprising:

       5 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 1  wherein said clip material further comprises two strips of flexible and durable material attached together.  
   
   
       6 . The magnet clip device as described in  claim 5  wherein said magnets are internally secured to said clip material between said two strips of clip material.  
   
   
       7 . The magnetic clip device as descried in  claim 6  wherein said magnets are internally secured to said clip material with stitching material such that the magnetic a stabilized between the strips.  
   
   
       8 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 6  wherein said magnets are partially exposed through openings in the strips of clip material.  
   
   
       9 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 7  wherein said magnets are internally secured to said clip material with an adhesive material such that the magnetic a stabilized between the strips.  
   
   
       10 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 9  wherein the adhesive material is a form of glue material.  
   
   
       11 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 1  wherein portable items could be secured to the clip through a groove depression attached to the clip material, said groove having a depth such that a top edge of the portable item is lower that a top edge of the groove.  
   
   
       12 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 1  wherein said a clip material further comprises a first and second surface and further comprises a magnet secured to each said surface and end of said clip material.  
   
   
       13 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 12  wherein each said magnet is secured to said clip material by an adhesive material.  
   
   
       14 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 6  further comprising a third magnet externally attached to said clip material.  
   
   
       15 . The magnetic clip device as described in  claim 14  further comprising additional third section of flexible material attached to one side of said clip material such that a pouch with an outer surface and an inner surface is created between said third section and said clip material, said third magnet being attached to the outer surface of the pouch.  
   
   
       16 . A magnetic clip system for to be secured to the person's clothing and capable of securing portable items to clothing of the person, the magnetic clip system comprising: 
 a flexible and durable clip material having a generally linear shape with first and second ends and capable of being folded as desired by a person around an article of clothing;    a first magnet secured at a first end of said material and a second magnet secured at a second end of said material such that when said material is folded magnetic forces from each secured magnet attract the magnets to each other causing the ends of the material to clip together, thereby securing the article of clothing between the magnets; and    a portable item attached to a magnet secured to said clip material.    
   
   
       17 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 16  wherein said clip material further comprises two strips of flexible and durable material attached together and wherein said magnets are internally secured to said clip material between said two strips of clip material.  
   
   
       18 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 17  further comprising additional third section of flexible material attached to one side of said clip material such that a pouch with an outer surface and an inner surface is created between said third section and said clip material, and further comprising a third magnet being attached to the outer surface of the pouch.  
   
   
       19 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 18  further comprising a third magnet externally attached to the pouch such that the clip contains multiple magnets that can simultaneously attach to multiple items.  
   
   
       20 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 19  wherein said third magnet is capable of attaching items through a groove in the third magnet such the contact is established between the item and the magnet in a manner that contact is better maintained and sliding between the third magnet and the item is reduced.  
   
   
       21 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 20  wherein said attachable item is a badge item.  
   
   
       22 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 16  wherein an item is attached to the clip material through a depression in the material of the clip.  
   
   
       23 . The magnetic clip system as described in  claim 16  further comprising a lanyard attached to said flexible and durable clip material for securing said flexible and durable clip material around a person's neck.
