An assembly for securing an openable aperture closure member (11) in closed position relative to an aperture defined by a main frame (12) . The assembly further includes a compressible gasket disposed between the closure member (11) and the frame (12) defining the aperture. Each of the aperture closure member (11) and the main frame (12) includes a respective portion (20, 42) of a magnetic means for securing said closure member (11) to the frame (12), wherein said magnetic means for securing includes a magnetic field in one portion (20) and a magnetically attractive portion (42), one of the magnetic field portion and the magnetically attractive portion being disposed on the openable closure member and thus being adapted to be movable by an operator with the openable closure member alternately into a magnetically attractive closure position and a magnetically unattractive opening position. The gasket is at least partially compressed when the closure member (11) is secured to the aperture, and the magnetic locking means (20, 42) overcoming the force needed to compress the gasket .

La présente invention concerne un ensemble qui est utilisé pour fixer un élément de fermeture (11) d'une ouverture ouvrable dans une position fermée par rapport à une ouverture définie par un dormant principal (12). L'ensemble comprend également un joint compressible placé entre l'élément de fermeture (11) et le dormant (12) définissant l'ouverture, ces deux derniers éléments (11) et (12) comportant une partie respective (20, 42) d'un moyen magnétique de fixation dudit élément de fermeture (11) sur le dormant (12). Le moyen magnétique de fixation comprend un champ magnétique dans une partie (20) et une partie d'attraction magnétique (42), une des ces deux parties (20) et (42) étant placée sur l'élément de fermeture ouvrable et étant ainsi adaptée pour être déplacée par un opérateur alors que l'élément de fermeture ouvrable se trouve alternativement dans une position de fermeture par attraction magnétique et une position d'ouverture dénuée d'attraction magnétique. Le joint est au moins partiellement comprimé lorsque l'élément de fermeture (11) est fixé sur l'ouverture, ledit moyen de fermeture magnétique (20, 42) développant une force supérieure à la force nécessaire pour comprimer le joint.
