Hook Device

Abstract

A hook device for mounting on a wall surface includes a base unit and a hooking unit. The base unit has a glue-receiving recess that opens rearwardly, a rear end face that surrounds the glue-receiving recess and that is adapted to be adhered onto the wall surface, and an inlet in spatial communication with the glue-receiving recess for introducing glue to fill the glue-receiving recess after the rear end face is adhered onto the wall surface. The hooking unit includes a mounting seat connected to the base unit, and a hooking rod disposed on the mounting seat.

1 . A hook device adapted for mounting on a wall surface, the hook device comprising:
 a base unit having a glue-receiving recess that opens rearwardly, a rear end face that surrounds the glue-receiving recess and that is adapted to be adhered onto the wall surface, and an inlet in spatial communication with the glue-receiving recess for introducing glue to fill the glue-receiving recess after the rear end face is adhered onto the wall surface; and   a hooking unit including a mounting seat connected to the base unit, and a hooking rod disposed on the mounting seat.   
     
     
         2 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base unit includes a base plate and a looped adhering member adhered to a rear side of the base plate such that the base plate and the adhering member cooperate to define the glue-receiving recess, the adhering member having the rear end face of the base unit, the inlet being formed in the base plate. 
     
     
         3 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the mounting seat is connected detachably to the base plate. 
     
     
         4 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a hollow connector connected removably to the base plate at the inlet and adapted for coupling with one end of a glue tube to permit flow of glue in the glue tube into the glue-receiving recess via the connector and the inlet. 
     
     
         5 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the connector includes a plate-connecting section inserted removably into the inlet, and a tube-coupling section connected to the plate-connecting section and adapted to couple threadedly with the glue tube. 
     
     
         6 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the inlet has a periphery that defines a hole and that is formed with at least one radial inward stop flange extending into the hole, and the plate-connecting section has a tubular part that is extended rotatably into the hole and that is formed with a radial outward stop projection disposed to abut against a rear side of the stop flange when the tubular part is rotated relative to the inlet to bring the stop projection and the stop flange into alignment in a front-rear direction. 
     
     
         7 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a coupling unit including a male coupling member provided on one of a front side of the base plate and a rear side of the mounting seat, and a female coupling member provided on the other of the front side of the base plate and the rear side of the mounting seat, the male and female coupling members being coupled removably to each other to connect detachably the mounting seat to the base plate. 
     
     
         8 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the male coupling member extends upwardly into the female coupling member to connect the mounting seat to the base plate. 
     
     
         9 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the male coupling member is provided on the front side of the base plate, the female coupling member is provided on the rear side of the mounting seat, the front side of the base plate is formed with a rib, and the female coupling member is formed with a rib-engaging groove to engage releasably the rib when the mounting seat is connected to the base plate. 
     
     
         10 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hooking rod is connected pivotally to a front side of the mounting seat. 
     
     
         11 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the front side of the mounting seat is formed with a pivot slot that extends in a left-right direction, and the hooking rod has a rod portion and a pivot axle portion connected to a bottom end of the rod portion and retained rotatably in the pivot slot such that the rod portion is pivotable between a non-hooking position adjacent to the front side of the mounting seat and a hooking position remote from the front side of the mounting seat, the hooking rod further having a limiting portion that extends from the bottom end of the rod portion and that is disposed to abut against the front side of the mounting seat to limit further pivoting movement of the hooking rod when the rod portion is pivoted from the non-hooking position to the hooking position. 
     
     
         12 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the front side of the mounting seat is provided with a first magnetic component, and the rod portion is provided with a second magnetic component for attracting magnetically with the first magnetic component to retain releasably the rod portion at the non-hooking position. 
     
     
         13 . The hook device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the looped adhering member is made from an air permeable foam material.
