SUCTION SYSTEM WITH REVERSIBLE DOME SPRING

摘要

A suction system includes a sucker having a working face and a dome spring attached to the sucker. The dome spring has a convex dome position and a concave dome position relative to the sucker and is configured such that, when the top of the dome spring is pushed inward past a critical moment, the dome spring reverses position without any further application of external force. The dome spring is attached to the sucker such that a change in position of the dome spring from the concave dome position to the convex dome position pushes the working face of the sucker in a direction away from the dome spring and a change in position of the dome spring from the convex dome position to the concave dome position allows the working face of the sucker to move in a direction towards the dome spring.

1. A suction system, comprising:
a sucker comprising a working face; and a dome spring attached to the sucker; wherein the dome spring has a convex dome position and a concave dome position relative to the sucker and is configured such that, when the top of the dome spring is pushed inward past a critical moment, the dome spring reverses position without any further application of external force; wherein the dome spring is attached to the sucker such that a change in position of the dome spring from the concave dome position to the convex dome position pushes the working face of the sucker in a direction away from the dome spring and a change in position of the dome spring from the convex dome position to the concave dome position allows the working face of the sucker to move in a direction towards the dome spring.
