Abstract

A surface foundation utilizing negative air pressure which may have a contiguous retention wall extending between an upper rim and a waist and a contiguous suction member extending between a pull ledge and the waist. The waist may further define a planer membrane joining the retention wall and the suction member. The retention wall may be configured to frictionally engage with an object placed internal to the retention wall and the suction member may be configured to have a pressurized engagement with any surface by use of an ambient atmospheric air pressure external to the suction member and a fractional atmospheric air pressure which is less than the ambient internal to the suction member. The pressurized retention of the surface suctioning receptacle permitting single handed manipulation of objects placed internal to the retention wall.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A surface mounting apparatus utilizing negative air pressure comprising:
 a contiguous retention wall extending between an upper rim and a waist, a contiguous suction member extending between a pull ledge and the waist, the waist defining a planer membrane joining the retention wall and the suction member; and,   the retention wall configured to frictionally engage with an object placed internal to the retention wall and the suction member configured to for pressurized engagement with a surface.   
     
     
         2 . The surface mounting apparatus utilizing negative air pressure of  claim 1 , wherein the suction member, the waist, and the retention wall are circumferentially shaped;
 the pull ledge and the upper rim having a larger diameter than the waist,   the pull ledge, the membrane, and the suction member defining a vacuum cavity for pressurized retention onto a surface; and,   the suction member configured to deflect radially outward away from the waist when engaged with a surface such that the volume of the vacuum cavity is reduced thereby resulting in lower air pressure inside the vacuum cavity than outside the vacuum cavity.   
     
     
         3 . The surface mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein, the retention wall has a highly polished surface. 
     
     
         4 . The surface mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein, the retention wall has a matte surface. 
     
     
         5 . The surface mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein, the retention wall has a bossed surface. 
     
     
         6 . The surface mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein, the retention wall has a grooved surface. 
     
     
         7 . A surface suctioning apparatus comprising:
 a waist, a suction member, and a retention wall;   the waist defining a narrowest portion of the surface suctioning apparatus and having a membrane spanning contiguously at the waist;   the suction member and the retention wall extending from, and at an outward angle of the waist such that the suction member and the retention wall each terminating in a larger diameter than the waist, the membrane further defining the top of the suction member and the bottom of the retention wall;   the suction member further defining a vacuum chamber configured to reversibly maintain a reduced air pressure from an ambient air pressure internal to the vacuum chamber when a downward force is applied to the surface suctioning apparatus and further having a pull ledge adjacent to the larger diameter,   wherein an upward force applied to the pull ledge normalizes the reduced air pressure of the vacuum chamber; and,   the retention wall terminating at an upper rim and further configured to frictionally engage with an object placed internal to the retention wall.   
     
     
         8 . The surface suctioning apparatus of  claim 7  wherein, the suction member, the retention wall, and the waist are circumferential, the upper rim and the pull ledge being annular in shape. 
     
     
         9 . The surface suctioning apparatus of  claim 7  wherein, the retention wall has a highly polished surface. 
     
     
         10 . The surface suctioning apparatus of  claim 7  wherein, the retention wall has a matte surface. 
     
     
         11 . The surface suctioning apparatus of  claim 7  wherein, the retention wall has a bossed surface. 
     
     
         12 . The surface suctioning apparatus of  claim 7  wherein, the retention wall has a grooved surface. 
     
     
         13 . A countertop suction device for the single-handed manipulation of containers inserted into the device comprising:
 a waist, a suction member, and a retention wall;   the waist further having a membrane spanning circumferentially planer across a narrowest portion of the countertop suction device;   the suction member extending circumferentially about the waist and extending outwardly and away from the waist and terminating in an annular pull ledge such that the pull ledge is larger in diameter than the waist, the terminal pull ledge being open to a direction opposite of the waist and thereby defining a vacuum cavity;   the suction member configured to further deflect radially outward away from the waist when engaged with a surface such that a volume of the vacuum cavity is reduced thereby expelling a gas and resulting in a lower air pressure inside the vacuum cavity than outside the vacuum cavity;   the pull ledge of the suction member configured to release contact with the surface such that the reduced air pressure inside the vacuum cavity is reversible;   the retention wall extending circumferentially about the waist and extending outwardly and away from the waist and terminating in an annular upper rim such that the upper rim is larger in diameter than the waist and is open at the terminal upper rim; and,   the retention wall configured to frictionally engage with an object placed internal to the retention wall such that the object is reversibly frictionally held in a static position.   
     
     
         14 . The countertop suction device for the single-handed manipulation of containers inserted into the device of  claim 13  wherein, the retention wall has a highly polished surface. 
     
     
         15 . The countertop suction device for the single-handed manipulation of containers inserted into the device of  claim 13  wherein, the retention wall has a matte surface. 
     
     
         16 . The countertop suction device for the single-handed manipulation of containers inserted into the device of  claim 13  wherein, the retention wall has a bossed surface. 
     
     
         17 . The countertop suction device for the single-handed manipulation of containers inserted into the device of  claim 13  wherein, the retention wall has a grooved surface.
