Abstract
A device and method for holding or securing an article against a surface using a suction cup connected to a bi-stable snap action ribbon spring. The device and method utilize the bi-stable characteristics of a snap action ribbon spring together with the adhesion characteristics of a suction cup to create a self-latching, spring-loaded mechanism for securing an article to a surface. The device and method for holding or securing an article against a surface using a suction cup connected to a bi-stable snap action ribbon spring can be used to greatly simplify the ease in draining liquid from a hollow container in an effortless manner by the use of gravity by allowing the liquid within the hollow container to accumulate or settle towards the vicinity approximate to the opening where the liquid is dispensed from.
