ABSTRACT

The specification discloses a magnetizable device for engaging articles of
varying surface contours. The device is characterized by a number of
independently movable magnetizable elements which depend from a slot in the
device housing; the elements being retained by element-arresting projections
extending from each element's upper-most end. In one embodiment, the slot
of the present invention is a bobbin assembly, including first and second
halves which join to define a substantially rectangular slot.
