Benefits of technology

"The invention is a detachable basket for watercraft that can be easily attached and detached without altering the board. The basket has sidewalls and an open top, and it is securely fastened to the watercraft using a vacuum attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism includes a lever that can be moved between two positions to manipulate a diaphragm that creates a negative pressure seal. The basket can also be attached to other devices or accessories using flexible cords. The bottom of the basket has a vacuum attachment device with a flexible skirt that creates a negative pressure seal when manipulated by the lever. The invention provides a simple and easy way to attach a basket to a watercraft, and it allows for easy detachment."

Problems solved by technology

That is, if water is retained in the basket, the watercraft to which the basket is attached may become unstable or even top heavy and capsize.

Abstract

A detachable basket is quickly fastened to a substantially flat surface of a watercraft such as a board. The detachable basket includes at least one quick fastener that includes a flexible skirt defining a vacuum chamber. A fluid evacuator is arranged as part of the vacuum chamber and allows fluid to be dispelled from within the vacuum chamber to create a negative pressure within the vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber partially collapses to create a seal between the quick fastener and the flat surface of the watercraft. The fluid evacuator may be opened to allow atmospheric pressure to enter the vacuum chamber to quickly disengage the flexible skirt from the flat surface.

Description

[0001]There are no related patent applications.[0002]The present application was not subject to federal research and / or development funding.TECHNICAL FIELD[0003]Generally, the present invention relates to a detachable basket that may be easily and quickly fastened to a substantially flat surface via at least one vacuum producing fastener or attachment device. More specifically, the invention is a detachable basket having at least one hand actuated or finger actuated suction-creating fastening device affixed to the bottom of the basket. When said fastening device is activated, it secures the detachable basket to a substantially flat surface. This fastening device develops a negative air pressure between an upper interior flexible surface of the fastening device and the substantially flat surface. The fastening device is affixed to the bottom of the detachable basket to secure the detachable basket to substantially flat surface in a quick and simple manner. The atmospheric pressure th...
