Device for selectively immobilizing a container on a surface, container including the device, and method for manufacturing the device

A device for selectively immobilizing a container on a surface, the device comprising:

• a mounting element configured to engage the container;
• and
• a bottom comprising
• a central portion,
• a peripheral edge forming a lip,
• a groove configured to engage the container, and
• at least one opening,
• wherein the bottom is configured such that at least the container and the bottom cooperate to form a suction cavity for selectively immobilizing the container on the surface, and
• wherein the device is formed as a single-piece molded product.

A combination of a container and a device for selectively immobilizing the container on a surface, the combination comprising:

• a container comprising a body having a terminal end defining a bottom;
• and
• a device mounted on the terminal end of the container body, the device comprising
• a mounting element configured to engage the container, and
• a bottom comprising
• a central portion,
• a peripheral edge forming a lip,
• a groove configured to engage the container, and
• at least one opening,
• wherein the bottom is configured such that at least the container and the bottom form a suction cavity for selectively immobilizing the container on the surface.

A device for selectively immobilizing a container on a surface, the device comprising:

• a mounting element configured to engage the container;
• and
• a bottom comprising
• a central portion at least partially located at a geometric center of the bottom,
• a peripheral edge forming a lip, and
• at least one opening having a perimeter defined at least partially by the central portion and the peripheral edge of the bottom,
• wherein the bottom is configured such that at least the container and the bottom cooperate to form a suction cavity for selectively immobilizing the container on the surface, and
• wherein the device is formed as a single-piece molded product.

A device for selectively immobilizing a container on a surface, the device comprising:

• a mounting element configured to engage the container;
• and
• a bottom comprising
• a central portion,
• a peripheral edge forming a lip,
• a groove configured to engage the container, and
• a plurality of openings intermediate the central portion and the peripheral edge of the bottom, the openings being separated by at least one radially extending tab,
• wherein the bottom is configured such that at least the container and the bottom cooperate to form a suction cavity for selectively immobilizing the container on the surface, and
• wherein the device is formed as a single-piece molded product.

A combination of a container and a device for selectively immobilizing the container on a surface, the combination comprising:

• a container defining a height dimension and a cross-section dimension, the container comprising a body having a terminal end defining a bottom;
• and
• a device mounted on the terminal end of the container body, the device comprising
• a mounting element engaging the container, and
• a bottom comprising
• a central portion comprising material,
• a peripheral edge forming a lip, and
• at least one opening extending away from the central portion,
• wherein the bottom is configured such that at least the container and the bottom cooperate to form a suction cavity for selectively immobilizing the container on the surface, and
• wherein the height dimension of the container is significantly greater than the cross-section dimension of the container.
