Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/GB93/00342 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 19, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 19, 1994 PCT Filed Feb. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/16582 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 2, 1993.A compliant mounting to attach a suction cup (11) to a support rod (10) is configured so that tilting movement of the cup occurs in such a way that translation of the mouth of the cup is minimised. The effective centre of the cup pivotal movement should lie within the confines of, or closely adjacent the cup. In the embodiment this is achieved by providing a sleeve (50) having an open lower end across which is stretched a resilient membrane (52). The membrane has a central aperture in which is secured the cup (11). Tilting movement of the cup occurring by subjecting the cup to a one-sided force A results in a complex pivotal cup motion by deformation of the membrane (52).
