  • Patent number: 7441734
    Abstract: A vehicle-used suction disk retainer has a seat. The seat is installed with a suction disk and a buckling seat which are connected as an integral body. An adjusting sheet is installed in an embedding groove of the seat. As the retainer is used in a car, when the adjusting sheet is moved, the buckling seat has a force to pull a part of the suction disk to move downwards and the suction disk presses downwards. Thereby the upper and lower forces are fixed. When a reverse action is applied, it can be pulled up from the ear. Thereby the retainer can be fixed, which can be used to place a device, such as a PDA32. Furthermore, the retainer is compact, light and small volume and thus it is portable and usable.
