Abstract
A monolithic suction cup mounting platform formed of a substantially rigid plate having first and second opposing faces; a suction cup mounting surface formed on the first face of the plate; at least one flexible leg coupled to the second face of the plate and having a bonding surface facing away from the plate; and a bonding agent adhered to the bonding surface of the flexible leg.
Claims16
A suction cup mounting platform, the mounting platform comprising:
- a substantially rigid plate having first and second opposing faces;
- a suction cup mounting surface formed on the first face of the plate;
- a skirt portion coupled to the second face of the plate;
- a plurality of flexible legs coupled to the skirt portion and having a bonding surface facing away from the plate;
- a rib joined between the second face of the plate and the skirt portion;
- and
- a bonding agent adhered to the bonding surface of the plurality of flexible legs.
A suction cup mounting platform, the mounting platform comprising:
- a substantially rigid plate having first and second opposing faces;
- a suction cup mounting surface formed on the first face of the plate;
- a skirt portion coupled to the second face of the plate;
- a plurality of flexible legs coupled to the skirt portion and having a bonding surface facing away from the plate;
- a rib joined between the second face of the plate and the skirt portion;
- and
- a bonding agent adhered to the bonding surface of the plurality of flexible legs;
- wherein the skirt portion further comprises an opening between adjacent legs and communicating with a periphery of the skirt, the rib being joined between the second face of the plate and the skirt portion adjacent to one of the openings.
A suction cup mounting platform, the mounting platform comprising:
- a substantially rigid monolithic plate having first and second opposing faces;
- a substantially smooth and planar surface formed on the first face;
- a plurality of radially extended and substantially flexible leg members spaced away from the plate at a central portion of the second face thereof, each of the leg members having a bonding surface facing away from the plate;
- a substantially tubular spacer coupled between the leg members and the plate adjacent to the central portion of the second face thereof, wherein the spacer further comprises a terminal skirt portion distal from the second face of the plate and having the leg members extended therefrom;
- a rib joined between the plate at the second face thereof and the terminal skirt portion;
- and
- a pressure sensitive adhesive coupled to the bonding surface of each leg member.
A substantially transparent suction cup mounting platform, the mounting platform comprising:
- a monolithic platform formed of a substantially transparent material, the monolithic platform comprising:
- a substantially rigid plate portion comprising first and second opposing spaced apart faces,
- a substantially smooth and planar surface formed on the first face,
- a spacer portion projected from a central portion of the second face, and
- a flared skirt portion formed on the spacer distal from the second face, the skirt portion comprising a plurality of substantially flexible radial leg members comprising a bonding surface facing away from the plate;
- a rib joined between the flared skirt portion and at least one of the spacer and the second face of the plate;
- and
- a pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to the bonding surface of each leg member.
