Abstract
A holder for mounting a hand tool to a surface has a suction cup positionable upon a surface. A yoke is connected to a central area of the suction cup, and is movable in a vertical direction relative to the surface, to distort the suction cup to secure the suction cup and yoke to the surface. A frame includes a cradle shaped to receive and support the hand tool, and a base. An extension connects the base and the cradle. A cam pin is movable within the frame, and has a cam profile that slides along the cam engagement surface of the yoke to displace the yoke along a vertical axis to increase or decrease the pressure between the suction cup and the surface.
Claims17
A holder for mounting a hand tool to a surface, the holder comprising:
- a suction cup positionable upon the surface, the suction cup having a central area;
- a yoke connected to the central area, the yoke movable in a vertical direction relative to the surface, to distort the suction cup and create an area of low pressure between the suction cup and the surface, to secure the suction cup and yoke to the surface, the yoke including a cam engagement surface;
- a frame including
- a cradle shaped to receive and support the hand tool when the hand tool is placed onto the holder;
- a base;
- an extension connecting the base and the cradle;
- and
- a cam pin movable within the frame, the cam pin including a cam profile slideably engageable with the cam engagement surface of the yoke to push the yoke vertically away from the surface or allow the yoke to move towards the surface to increase or decrease the pressure between the suction cup and the surface,
- wherein the yoke is biased by a resilient bumper.
