Preferred Embodiment 10:
Referring now to Fig. 10 which is a side view of Preferred Embodiment 10 of an article attaching device according to the present invention, The purpose of the frictional surfaces 101 and 102 are for firmly clamping an article in the article attaching device , no matter what shape they are to be.
Preferred Embodiment 11:
Fig. 1 1A is a side view on an application of Preferred Embodiment 11 of an article attaching device according to the present invention. The two side extensions 1101 and 1102 have bumps 1103 and 1104 for clamping thereby an article 1105. In general, a pillar bump, as shown in Fig. 1 IC is used for holding a thicker article or an article with a thicker edge like the article 15. The side view of another variety of the bump is shown in Figs.
1 it. The bump is one with a cure surface for decreasing the frictional force when a paper document is pushed into the device. Furthermore, the article attaching device may comprises a hook 1106 or a ring 1107 on one of the ends of two side extensions.
Preferred embodiment 12:
Figs. 12A & 12B are respectively a top and a side view of Preferred
Embodiment 12 of an a an article attaching device according to the present invention, A hook 1201 is mounted on the main part 1202 and the hook 1201 has an optional curling degree. On the sucking body 1203, there exists a lifting piece 1204 in order that a user can easily remove the sucking body 1203 from the plane surface. An article, e.g., a pair of glasses 1205, can be inserted in the vacant space 1206 by a side 1207 thereof as shown in Fig. 12A. and an article, e.g. a key 1213, can be hanged on the hook 1201 as shown in Fig. 12B. Besides, a flower a pencil...etc. also can be inserted in the vacant space 1206 and a rope, a toy...etc. also can be hanged on the hook 1201. Furthermore, the fitting part of this preferred embodiment is not a connection hole but a ring 1208 connected with and protruding from the main part 1202, and having an opening 1209 to receive therein the connecting head 12 10 of said sucking body 1203. The ring 1208 further comprises two flexible hooks 1211 and 1212 on two opposite sides of the wall of the opening 1209 to prevent the connecting head 1210 ofthe sucking 1203 in the ring 1208 from getting out.
Preferred Embodiment 13:
Besides the hook 1201, the main part 111 of the device can also serve as a hook for hanging thereon an article if one of the side extensions 1111 and 1112 is curled to an extent, as shown in Figs. 13A-13C. On the other hand, another purpose of the curling side extension is to prevent the edge of the side extension from hurting people when the main part is made of a metal.
To sum up, the present invention has advantages of bearing heavier article, lasting longer holding time and being able to be reused over and over. Besides, it can be used not only for clamping thereto but also for hanging thereby or inserting therein an article.
