Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a suction cup hook that can be attached to a flat surface to hang items. [Background technology]

[0002] Suction cup hooks have been widely used for a long time, utilizing the principle of suction cups to be attached to stainless steel, plastic surfaces, tiles, smooth glass surfaces, mirrors, refrigerators, and other metal-coated surfaces to hang items. Suction cup hooks allow you to hang items in unused space, which is convenient as it increases storage space.

[0003] As such a suction cup hook, for example, an adhesive gel hook has been disclosed that includes a suction cup that adheres to a wall or the like, an adhesive body attached to the center of the concave surface of the suction cup, and a support attached to the convex surface of the suction cup (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also disclosed is a hook with a suction cup that has a structure in which the suction force increases when an object is hung on the hook using the principle of leverage (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] (Embodiment) A gel suction hook according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. The gel suction hook 1 is a tool that uses the principle of a suction cup, which creates a vacuum in the internal space between the suction cup's adhesive surface and the wall surface, thereby fixing the object in place and preventing it from coming off, and can be attached to flat surfaces such as tiles, painted metal surfaces on refrigerators, plastic surfaces, glass, and mirrored surfaces to hang objects.

[0014] First, the overall structure of the gel suction cup hook 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the gel suction hook 1 comprises a main body 2, a push button 3, a gel suction cup 4, a pull-up suction cup 5, and a hook 6. In this embodiment, the direction toward the installation surface will be referred to as the installation surface direction, and the direction away from the installation surface will be referred to as the separation direction.

[0015] The main body 2 has a push button 3 attached to its surface side and comprises a cylindrical portion 2a having an internal space capable of accommodating a gel suction cup 4 and a pull-up suction cup 5, and an extension portion 2b integrally connected to the cylindrical portion 2a and extending downward. A hook 6 is detachably connected to the surface side of the extension portion 2b.

[0016] The push button 3 is a circular button that is arranged (connected) on the surface side of the cylindrical portion 2a of the main body 2 and is the part that the user presses when attaching the gel suction hook 1 to a desired installation surface. Here, by giving the user a single push of the push button 3, the user can attach the gel suction hook 1 to a desired installation surface very simply and easily.

[0017] The gel suction cup 4 is a circular suction cup made of an adhesive material S (for example, a polyurethane gel pad), and is formed integrally with the pull-up suction cup, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. The radius of this gel suction cup 4 is, for example, 54 mm. When the gel suction cup hook 1 is installed, the gel suction cup 4 is pressed toward the installation surface together with the pull-up suction cup 5 via the push button 3 and deformed, forcing out any air present between the suction surface of the gel suction cup 4 and the wall surface, forming a vacuum space. At this time, the adhesive force of the adhesive material S is added to the suction force of the vacuum space formed by the gel suction cup 4, making it possible to increase the suction force (load capacity) compared to when only a non-adhesive suction cup is used.

[0018] The pull-up suction cup 5 is a circular suction cup made of plastic resin such as ABS resin that has elasticity and a certain degree of hardness so that it can maintain its shape even when pressed, and is pressed against the wall surface together with the gel suction cup 4 when installed, and at this time, the pull-up suction cup 5 makes the gel suction cup 4 adhere evenly to the installation surface.

[0019] 3 and 4, the lifting suction cup 5 is formed with a plurality of radial holes 5a, 5c, radial protrusions 5b, and circular protrusions 5d. For example, the radial holes 5a are arranged radially on the inner periphery of the lifting suction cup 5, and the radial holes 5c are arranged radially on the outer periphery of the lifting suction cup 5. The radial protrusions 5b are arranged outer than the radial holes 5a and inner than the radial holes 5c. The circular protrusions 5d are circular protrusions connecting the outer edges of the plurality of radial holes 5a. With this configuration, when the gel suction cup 4 is pressed against the installation surface, an appropriate force is applied in the separation direction, forming a vacuum space with an increased vacuum between the installation surface and the suction surface of the gel suction cup 4. As a result, a larger pressure difference is always created between the vacuum space formed between the gel suction cup 4 and the installation surface and the external air pressure, allowing a greater suction force (load capacity) to be maintained. Therefore, the gel suction hook 1 can be installed with one push of the push button 3, and can also be used as a hook with a greater suction force (for example, 12 kg).

[0020] The lifting suction cup 5 also has a protrusion 5e formed thereon that extends from its center in the direction away from the push button 6, and this protrusion 5e passes through a through-hole 2c formed in the main body 2 and is connected to the push button 6.

[0021] The hook 6 is detachably connected to the extension 2b of the main body 2 and has a shape, for example, an upward-facing hook shape (L-shaped in side view), for hanging items such as clothes, bags, small items, umbrellas, etc. Note that the hook 6 can be replaced with one of an appropriate shape and size depending on the size of the item to be hung.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 5, the adhesive substance S of the gel suction cup 4 may cover both the front surface (the gel suction cup 4 side) and the back surface of the lifted suction cup 5.

[0023] As described above, the present invention provides a gel suction hook 1 comprising a main body 2, a push button 3 disposed on the surface of the main body 2, a pull-up suction cup 5 housed within the interior space of the main body 2 and pressed toward the installation surface of the gel suction hook 1 via the push button 3, a gel suction cup 4 having a suction cup integrated with the pull-up suction cup 5 to form a vacuum space between the installation surface of the gel suction hook 1, and a hook 6 connected to the surface of the main body 2 and shaped to hang an object. The pull-up suction cup 5 has a plurality of radially arranged radial holes 5a, 5c and radially arranged protrusions 5b, and the suction surface of the gel suction cup 4 is made of an adhesive material. This configuration allows the gel suction hook 1 to be attached to an installation surface such as glass with a single push and has sufficient load-bearing capacity.

[0024] The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the shape of the main body 2 is not limited to the above, and may be any shape as long as the push button 3 and hook 6 are attached to the surface side and there is an internal space to accommodate the gel suction cup 4 and the lift-up suction cup 5.
