SLIP-RESISTANT SEAT
20220322827 · 2022-10-13 ·

A slip-resistant seat includes a seat and anti-slip units. The seat includes a rest portion, legs and butting portions. The legs are disposed below the rest portion. The butting portions are disposed beside the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units are disposed at the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units each include a fitting element, anti-slip portion, adsorption element and force-bearing portion. The adsorption elements are disposed beside the fitting elements, respectively. The fitting elements are higher than the adsorption elements. The anti-slip portions are disposed at the bottoms of the fitting elements. The force-bearing portions are disposed on the top surfaces of the adsorption elements. The fitting elements are fitted to the bottoms of the legs. The butting portions are separated from the force-bearing portions, respectively, by a prepressing distance. When the seat carries a load, the fitting elements are pressed downward, and the prepressing distance shortens.

NONDESTRUCTIVE WINDOW MOUNTABLE SILICONE EDGE GRAPHIC
20230062225 · 2023-03-02 ·

A silicone edge graphic mountable to a window with suction cups is shown. The silicone edge graphic may have a frame where the suction cups are attached to the frame and offset from the frame so that the frame is not touching a mounting surface of the window or the wall of the window when mounted to mitigate damage to the window or wall. When the silicone edge graphic is mounted to the window, the frame may rest on a support surface, such as a window sill or the ground, to provide additional support for the weight of the silicone edge graphic.

VERTICAL SURFACE CLEANING AUTONOMOUS DEVICE
20220330778 · 2022-10-20 ·

A vertical surface cleaning device comprising a main body, a cleaning arm, a cleaning head, and leg mechanisms with grippers. The cleaning head applies a cleaning fluid on a surface to carry out a cleaning operation. A waste collector is provided to collect a waste material arising from the cleaning operation. The grippers may remain in a grip or in a release state. The segments of the leg mechanisms are articulatable to configure a first group of the leg mechanisms to stably hold the main body at a first place with the grippers remaining in the grip state. A second group of the leg mechanisms move in a desired direction with their grippers in release state while the first group stably holds the main body. The first group of the leg mechanisms then moves in the same direction while the second group holds the main body at a second place.

Portable vacuum gripper
20220331993 · 2022-10-20 ·

A vacuum gripper for gripping an object surface using vacuum suction is configured to be portable or operated by a hoist. Battery conservation measures are included to provide a long term vacuum generation capability, together with manually rechargeable mechanism. A manually-operated vacuum pump is also integrated to the vacuum gripper as a safeguard for the battery-operated vacuum pump failure. The vacuum gripper includes an elastic deformable vacuum seal for gripping objects with irregular surfaces, together with press rods or pin array configured to assist the vacuum seal in filling any gaps between the vacuum seal and the object surface.

LEAK DETECTION DEVICE

The invention relates to a leak detection device comprising: a portable leak detection bell-like member comprising a sealing joint and configured to define a detection chamber between the main body and the test zone, the detection bell-like member further comprising a carrying handle which is provided with a control member which can be manually activated to produce a control signal, a gas suction circuit which is intended to connect the detection chamber to a vacuum pump, the gas suction circuit being provided with a controlled valve which can be switched into an open state to connect the detection chamber to the vacuum pump and a closed state to isolate the detection chamber from the vacuum pump, and a control unit which is configured to switch the controlled valve in response to the control signal.

VEHICLE INTERIOR TRIM SECURING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

A vehicle interior trim securing system includes a trim piece that includes a trim piece body. The trim piece includes a wire harness support that extends outward from the trim piece body that includes a support portion including an inner portion, an outer portion and a connecting portion that connects the inner portion and the outer portion forming a channel that is sized to receive a wire harness. A sealing structure includes a suction cup that is connected to the outer portion and a pull tab connected to the suction cup. The pull tab is partially covered by the trim piece body with the suction cup adhered to a floor underbody panel and has a length such that a free end extends laterally beyond the trim piece body.

Modular storage system

A modular storage system includes a number of receptacles and lids with different sizes and features that are interchangeably coupleable to each other in a stacking arrangement. A first lid has slits to provide access to a receptacle and a second lid has a suction cup and is structured to be interchangeably coupleable to the receptacle and the first lid. A user can remove the second lid from the top of the first lid and secure the second lid to the bottom of the receptacle with the suction cup secured to an external surface. A third lid includes an opening covered by a deflectable membrane. The membrane prevents liquid from spilling from the opening if the receptacle is knocked over. A straw can be inserted through the membrane and opening to provide further functionality.

Carrier device for securing an accessory to a vehicle

A carrier device for securing an accessory to a vehicle is provided. The carrier device includes a support frame, a first suction cup mounted at the first end of the support frame, and a second suction cup mounted at the second end of the support frame. The carrier device also includes a first vacuum pump configured to selectively adjust the pressure within the first suction cup, and a second vacuum pump configured to selectively adjust the pressure within the second suction cup. The suction cups may be pivotally mounted to the support frame such that the rotational position of the first and second suction cups relative to the support frame is adjustable to selectively couple the carrier device to a vehicle. The carrier device may also include a support frame having a length that is adjustable to adapt to the size of a vehicle, and/or to adapt to the size of an accessory.
