Abstract
A closure includes a first magnetic assembly, a second magnetic assembly and an actuator coupled to the first magnetic assembly and the second magnetic assembly. The actuator is arranged to reconfigure the first and second magnetic assemblies from a closed configuration in which the magnetic assemblies are attracted to one another to an open configuration in which the magnetic assemblies are repelled from one another. Where the magnetic assemblies are coupled to respective sides of an aperture in a flexible substrate, operation of the actuator will tend to open and close the aperture.
