Supporting structure

Abstract

An improved supporting structure, having body member made of flexible material. The body member is tightly wrapped by an exterior covering member made by injecting mold process. The exterior covering member is made of soft material with a bellow configuration. The body member can be bent with a desired angle by folding the exterior covering member. One end of the supporting structure has a suction device to attach the supporting structure to a wall, while the other end has a supporting device for supporting an object. The body member and the exterior covering member are integrally formed, such that the manufacturing cost and time can be reduced, while the flexibility is improved.

1 . A supporting structure, comprising: 
 an elongate body member made of flexible material and being bendable and foldable with unlimited angle;    an exterior covering member, directly formed on the elongate body member by an injection mold process, wherein the exterior covering member exposes two ends of the elongate member and has a bellow configuration;    a suction device, connected to one of the exposed end of the elongate body member; and    a holding device, connected to the other exposed end of the elongate body member.    
   
   
       2 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexible material includes aluminum material.  
   
   
       3 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the exterior covering member includes soft plastic material.  
   
   
       4 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the exterior covering member has a diameter gradually reduced from two ends to a center thereof.  
   
   
       5 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate body member has a roughened exterior surface.  
   
   
       6 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the suction device includes a suction disk.
