Abstract
A suction-security system includes an adhesion membrane coupled to a swing arm. Rotation of the swing arm lifts a center portion of the adhesion membrane, creating suction and adhesion of the suction-security system to an anchor surface. The swing arm may have a low profile enabling use of the suction security system in an enclosure with minimal loss of available interior space. The system may include a shield protecting the adhesion membrane, and a bushing in the shield permits rotation of a portion of the shield without disturbing adhesion of the adhesion membrane to the anchor surface. The suction-security system may be used in consumer items such as purses, backpacks, briefcases, and suitcases.
Claims19
A suction-security system comprising:
- an adhesion membrane;
- a shield surrounding a top of the adhesion membrane;
- a post coupled to a central portion of the adhesion membrane, the post extending through the shield;
- a swing arm coupled to the post such that rotation of the swing arm about an axis extending through the post lifts the post in a direction along the axis and lifts the central portion of the adhesion membrane in the direction along the axis.
A system comprising:
- an enclosure;
- and
- a suction system including:
- an adhesion membrane outside and attached to the enclosure;
- and
- a lift mechanism coupled to the adhesion membrane, wherein activation of the lift mechanism deflects a portion of the adhesion membrane to adhere the adhesion membrane to suitable surface contacting the adhesion membrane, the lift mechanism including an activation control inside of the enclosure.
A suction-security system comprising:
- an adhesion membrane;
- a post coupled to a central portion of the adhesion membrane;
- a shield surrounding a top of the adhesion membrane, the shield comprising a bushing through which the post extends, the bushing permitting rotation of a least a portion of the shield about the post;
- and
- a mechanism configured to lift the post and thereby lift the central portion of the adhesion membrane to create suction securing the adhesion membrane to an anchor surface.
