Zusammenfassung:An article and method for coupling two or more objects together using magnetically attractive forces. Such magnetic forces are generated by corresponding magnet(s) and/or metal piece(s) positioned at or near the periphery of the two or more objects. Multiple magnet(s) and/or metal p?ece(s) may be regularly spaced-apart or asymmetrically spaced around the periphery of the two or more objects. Alternatively, corresponding annular magnet(s) and/or piece of metal may also be used. The coupling device of the present invention is generally designed to hold tubular objects together, including a container and lid. Coupling device of present invention has numerous advantages, including, for example, rapidassembly and disassembly, superior ergonomics for the user, increased adjustability for specific applications, and improved durability.
