Abstract

Sugekopp med vakuumkammer er basert på at en sugekopp forbindes med et forseglet vakuumkammer. Når vakuumkammeret(1) kobles sammen med sugekoppen (2) gjennom en rørforbindelse (3), brytes et segl i vakuumkammeret (4) og luften i sugekoppen strømmer inn i kammeret. Dette skaper sugekraft mot en anleggsflate begrenset av en tetningsring (5) som er diffusjonstett over tid.Vacuum chamber suction cup is based on connecting a suction cup to a sealed vacuum chamber. When the vacuum chamber (1) is coupled to the suction cup (2) through a pipe connection (3), a seal is broken in the vacuum chamber (4) and the air in the suction cup flows into the chamber. This creates suction force against an abutment surface limited by a sealing ring (5) which is diffusion-proof over time.

Description

Oppfinnelsen angår et sugekoppsystem basert på vakuumkammer, beregnet for ulike typer oppheng på egnede veggflater og takflater på bad, kjøkken og toalett, i hus, garasje o The invention relates to a suction cup system based on a vacuum chamber, intended for various types of suspension on suitable wall surfaces and ceiling surfaces in bathrooms, kitchens and toilets, in houses, garages etc.

Folk kvier seg ofte for å bore, f. eks. i baderoms-fliser. Sugekopper er et alternativ, men mange erfarer at disse har begrenset bærekraft og at de faller ned etter en stund. Firm Everloc har utviklet et system for å øke sugekraften inni sugekoppen ved å skape større ro og dermed et kraftigere vakuum inni sugekoppen ved hjelp av en dreiningsbevegelse. Min oppfinnelse antas å være enklere og billigere å produsere enn Everlocs patent, og antas å være like enkel, kanskje enklere å bruke. Bærekraften antas å være bedre. People are often reluctant to drill, e.g. in bathroom tiles. Suction cups are an alternative, but many people find that these have limited durability and that they fall down after a while. Firm Everloc has developed a system to increase the suction power inside the suction cup by creating greater stability and thus a stronger vacuum inside the suction cup by means of a turning movement. My invention is believed to be easier and cheaper to manufacture than Everloc's patent, and is believed to be just as simple, perhaps easier to use. The durability is believed to be better.

Oppfinnelsen baserer seg på et forseglet vakuumkammer som gjennom en lufttet rørforbindelse kobles til en stiv sugekopp som munner ut i en tetningsring. Når sugekopp kobles til vakuumkammeret, brytes en forsegling inne i kammeret. Luften i sugekoppe strømmer inn i kammeret, og dermed skapes det et vakuum mot en anleggsflate avgrenset tetningsringen i enden av sugekoppen. The invention is based on a sealed vacuum chamber which, through an air-tight pipe connection, is connected to a rigid suction cup which opens into a sealing ring. When the suction cup is connected to the vacuum chamber, a seal inside the chamber is broken. The air in the suction cup flows into the chamber, and thus a vacuum is created against a contact surface delimited by the sealing ring at the end of the suction cup.

Vakuumkammeret kan enten skrus fast til sugekoppen eller forbindes ved hjelp av ulike typ hurtigkoblinger/løsbare koblinger. The vacuum chamber can either be screwed to the suction cup or connected using various types of quick couplings/detachable couplings.

Innretningen består altså hovedsakelig av to deler, et diffusjonstett vakuumkammer i stivt solid materiale 1, som kobles til en diffusjonstett sugekopp i stivt materiale 2. Når røret 3 på sugekoppen kobles til vakuumkammeret, brytes et segl i kammeret 4. Luften i sugekoppe strømmer gjennom rørkoblingen og inn i kammeret og skaper sugekraft mot en flate som e avgrenset av en diffusjonstett tetningsring 5 som sitter i enden på sugekoppen. The device thus mainly consists of two parts, a diffusion-proof vacuum chamber in rigid solid material 1, which is connected to a diffusion-proof suction cup in rigid material 2. When the tube 3 on the suction cup is connected to the vacuum chamber, a seal is broken in the chamber 4. The air in the suction cup flows through the pipe connection and into the chamber and creates a suction force against a surface which is bounded by a diffusion-proof sealing ring 5 which sits at the end of the suction cup.

Figur 1 viser de to hoveddelene før sammenkobling. Figur 2 viser hoveddelen sammenkoblet. Figure 1 shows the two main parts before connection. Figure 2 shows the main part connected together.

Oppfinnelsen fordrer diffusjonstetthet i vakuumkammer, rørkobling og sugekopp. I tillegg det være diffusjonstetthet mellom sugekoppens tetningsring og flaten den festes på. Det på få problemer å få vakuumkammeret og selve sugekoppen lufttett. Når det gjeld tetningsringen som sitter i enden av sugekoppen, lages denne av tetningsstoff som silikon liknende materiale som er fleksibelt og formbart og som utjevner små ujevnheter i underlag Rørkoblingen vil trenge en elastisk tetning. Hv sisk r uørse fatst, trengs en gjengetetning. Ved hurtigkoblin egr det andre typer tetninger som gjelder. The invention requires diffusion density in the vacuum chamber, pipe connection and suction cup. In addition, there should be diffusion density between the suction cup's sealing ring and the surface it is attached to. There are few problems in getting the vacuum chamber and the suction cup itself airtight. When it comes to the sealing ring that sits at the end of the suction cup, this is made of a sealing material such as silicone-like material which is flexible and malleable and which evens out small unevenness in the substrate. The pipe connection will need an elastic seal. If the screw is firmly fixed, a thread seal is needed. In the case of quick couplings, other types of seals apply.

Claims

Producing a sealed vacuum drawn item is considered unproblematic. Vacuum h been drawn industrially for many years. The vacuum chamber and suction cup must be made of a rigid, solid material that can withstand vacuum pressure. This can be, for example, hard plastic or metal.

However, once the seal has been broken in the vacuum chamber, the chamber cannot be used again. When adjusting the attachment point, a new vacuum chamber must be connected. The idea is that these chambers are so cheap to produce that each suction cup comes with one, perhaps two, extra vacuum chambers.

The vacuum chamber is given shape according to function, depending on whether the attachment is to be used as a wall suspension, ceiling suspension, peg, hook, hanger etc.

Patent claims

1. Suction cup with vacuum chamber is characterized by the fact that a sealed vacuum chamber (1) is connected to a suction cup (2) through a detachable pipe connection (3) so that when the seal of the vacuum chamber (4) is broken, a vacuum will be created against a contact surface delimited by the suction cup's sealing ring (5).

2. Suction cup with vacuum chamber, according to claim 1, is characterized by the fact that the vacuum is ready-made and that the device can be used as an attachment for almost all types of surfaces suitable for suspension by the vacuum chamber being shaped according to the suspension function.
