Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to means for demountably securing the housing (3) of a container for presenting decorative items to a smooth surface irrespective of its inclination. A rubber suction cup (12) is operatively attached to the bottom of the container housing (3), and a pin (11) is secure to, and extends upwardly from, the central, distortable, portion of the cup (12). The pin (11) is axially translatable within a sleeve guide (4) mounted behind the cup (12) on the housing (3). At least one thrust rod (6) is translatable radially with respect to the pin (11) and slideably received within a pair of aligned slots (5 & 13) which penetrate the pin (11) and sleeve guide (4), respectively. The thrust rod (6) presents an obliquely inclined camming surface (9) which engages the slot (13) such that radial translation of the thrust rod (6) effects axial translation of the pin (11) to actuate the vacuum cup (12 ). The camming surface (9) does not interact with slot (13).
