Abstract

A suction cup mount has a suction plate and a housing, wherein the suction plate and the housing are connected to each other in such a way that the housing can be pressed onto the suction plate and the suction plate includes a circumferential connection to a mount frame of the housing, which releases itself at a defined release force acting on the housing.

Claims (26)

1. A suction cup mount comprising:

a single oval-shaped suction plate comprising a middle region and a circumferential region,

a housing comprising a mount frame, the housing being connected to the single oval-shaped suction plate in such a way that the housing can be pressed onto the single oval-shaped suction plate, the mount frame being supported on the circumferential region of the single oval-shaped suction plate via a circumferential connection,

a first lever device configured to lift the middle region of the single oval-shaped suction plate against the mount frame, the first lever device comprising a first lever and a first holding stamp connected to the first lever, the first holding stamp being connected to the middle region at a first point, the first lever acting on the single oval-shaped suction plate via the first holding stamp,

a second lever device configured to lift the middle region of the single oval-shaped suction plate against the mount frame, the second lever device comprising a second lever and a second holding stamp connected to the second lever, the second holding stamp being connected to the middle region at a second point, the second lever acting on the single oval-shaped suction plate via the second holding stamp,

wherein the first and the second points are spaced apart from each other,

wherein the first holding stamp is distinct from the second holding stamp, and the first holding stamp and the second holding stamp are spaced apart from each other,

wherein the first lever is operable to exert a force on the single oval-shaped suction plate at the first point via the first holding stamp separately and independently of the second lever and the second holding stamp,

wherein the second lever is operable to exert a force on the single oval-shaped suction plate at the second point via the second holding stamp separately and independently of the first lever and the first holding stamp

and

wherein the first and the second levers are able to be swiveled in opposing directions around first and second axes, respectively, arranged in parallel in order to separately and independently lift the single oval-shaped suction plate at the first and the second points in the middle region of the single oval-shaped suction plate.

2. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential connection is designed as a flexible connection.

3. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential connection is designed as a predetermined breaking point.

4. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential connection is designed as a tongue-and-groove connection.

5. The suction cup mount according to claim 4 , wherein the groove is arranged on the single oval-shaped suction plate and the tongue is arranged on the housing.

6. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential connection is ring-shaped.

7. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the first lever comprises a flexible release tab, and

wherein the flexible release tab is arranged under the first lever as an extension of the first lever in order to facilitate a release of the first lever in a tangible manner.

8. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , further comprising a mount arranged on the mount frame in a detachable manner.

9. The suction cup mount according to claim 8 , wherein the mount is arranged between the first and the second levers.

10. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , wherein the single oval-shaped suction plate comprises a release tab, and

wherein the release tab radially protrudes from the mount frame further than remaining areas of the single oval-shaped suction plate.

11. The suction cup mount according to claim 1 , further comprising a pressure sensor arranged between the first and the second points.

12. The suction cup mount according to claim 11 , wherein the pressure sensor comprises a mechanical pressure indicator.

13. The suction cup mount according to claim 11 , wherein the pressure sensor comprises a pressure indicator.

14. The suction cup mount according to claim 11 , wherein the pressure sensor comprises a transmitting device.
