Abstract
A container (10) to receive products such as an air freshener, disinfectant or deodoriser, or alternatively tape twine or dental floss. The container (10) has a hollow body (13) attached to a suction cup (25) by means of a hollow stem of the body (11) and a projection (26) of cup (25). When the cup (25) is attached to a supporting surface the skirt (18) of the body (13) terminates adjacent the supporting surface and/or cup (25) to inhibit tilting of the body (13). The body (13) cooperates with a wall (29) of the cup (25) to enclose a space within which the product is located.
Claims21
A container to receive a product, said container having:
- a hollow body within which the product is to be supported, said body having at least one peripheral skirt generally surrounding a transverse wall;
- a suction cap having a central portion attached to the transverse wall, and a cup flange extending from the central portion generally towards the peripheral skirt;
- and wherein
- said suction cup is secured to a supporting surface by applying a force to said transverse wall, towards said suction cup to resiliently deform the suction cup against said supporting surface, so that said peripheral skirt terminates adjacent or is abutting said cup flange or supporting surface when said suction cup is secured to said supporting surface to inhibit tilting of said hollow body relative to said suction cup and a disengagement of said suction cup from said supporting surface.
A container to receive a product, said container having:
- a hallowed body within which the product is to be supported, said body having a peripheral skirt generally surrounding a transverse wall, said peripheral skirt having an extremity and a recess extending from the extremity inwardly of the peripheral skirt;
- and
- a suction cap having a central portion attached to the transverse wall, and a cup flange extending from the central portion generally towards the peripheral skirt, said suction cap further having a suction cup wall extending from the cup flange and into said recess;
- and wherein
- said suction cup is secured to a supporting surface by applying a force to the hollow body towards said suction cup to resiliently deform the suction cup against said supporting surface and to further cause movement of the suction cup wall into said recess.
