Abstract
A lockable valve-actuated suction apparatus includes a resilient anchor member having an inner side arranged to seal against a reference surface, and an outer side. The anchor member includes a vent port extending between its inner and outer sides. A movable member is slidably movable between a sealing position wherein the vent port is blocked and a venting position wherein the vent port is unblocked. A twist-to-lock coupling connection is provided between the movable member and the anchor member. The twist-to-lock coupling connection is operable by rotating the movable member between a locking state and an unlocking state. The locking state of the twist-to-lock coupling connection is characterized by the movable member being locked against the slidable movement relative to the anchor member. The unlocking state of the twist-to-lock coupling connection is characterized by the movable member being unlocked against the slidable movement relative to the anchor member.
