Definitions

  • Suction cups have been adapted over the years to provide more stable fixings for kitchen gadgets, window thermometers etc. and most recently navigation devices. Suction cups that are to be used for in-car navigation devices need to be relatively stable when attached to uneven surfaces and/or under vibrations.
  • a mount wherein both the suction cup and the spring element are arranged to be changed from a start state to the attached state via an intermediate state, the start state being the state of the suction cup and the spring element before being in contact with the surface, the intermediate state being the state wherein the suction cup and spring element are pressed against the surface and during this transition, the spring element is in frictional contact with the suction cup.
  • the spring element for instance the tips of the fingers, straddle the suction cup, having a positive effect to the sticking force of the mount.
  • a mount where during changing the mount from the start state to the intermediate state, the spring element is tensioned to pull the central part of the suction cup away from the surface and to press the suction cup towards the surface along a substantial circumferential edge of the suction cup.
  • the spring element 120 may be made in an engineering plastic with good spring properties and arranged in the shape of a round based cone or dome.
  • the cone or dome defines a cavity, which is shaped in such a way that, in an assembled state, the suction cup 110 can be moved up or down in the cone or dome in order to function properly.
  • an opening is formed, defined by an inner edge 123 to receive connection member 130, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the cone or dome is formed by a plurality of fingers 121.
  • the spring element 120 may comprise 2, 3 or 4 fingers, but may also comprise any number of fingers (multi- fingers), such as shown in Fig. 1.
  • connection member 130 comprises a foot portion 131 that is to be attached to the mounting surface 112 of the suction cup 110. Foot portion 131 may for instance be attached to the mounting surface 112 by overmoulding or gluing or in any other suitable way, as will be understood by a skilled person. Furthermore, the connection member 130 is provided with a circular rim 132, which in an assembled state, presses against the inner edge 123 of the spring element 120, as will be further explained below, with reference to Fig.'s 2 and 3.
  • Fig. 3 it can be seen that the foot portion 131 of the connection member 130 is engulfed by the overmoulded material of the suction cup 110.
  • the end position of the suction cup 110 and the spring element 120 when attached to the surface does not need to be the same as the original start position of the suction cup 110 and the spring element 120 before it is attached, as the spring element 120 is loaded when the mount is in position.
  • - start state state of the suction cup 110 and the spring element 120 when not attached to a surface, both the suction cup 110 and the spring element 120 are in a relaxed state;
  • an attached state state that is reached upon release after the suction cup 110 and spring element 120 are pressed against the surface.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une monture comportant une ventouse (110) à aspiration prévue pour passer d'un état de départ à un état fixé, la mouture étant, dans l'état fixé, fixée à une surface en maintenant une dépression à l'intérieur de la ventouse à aspiration. La monture comporte en outre un élément (120) à ressort relié à une partie centrale de la ventouse (110) à aspiration. Lorsque la ventouse (110) à aspiration se trouve à l'état fixé, l'élément (120) à ressort est agencé pour écarter la partie centrale de la ventouse (110) à aspiration de la surface. En outre, l'élément à ressort presse la ventouse (110) à aspiration vers la surface le long d'un bord circonférentiel substantiel de la ventouse (110) à aspiration.
