Abstract:
In combination with an article of equipment having a plurality of frictional members on its base for non-slip contact with a supporting surface, and a carrying case for enclosing and transporting the article of equipment,at least one pair of complementary securement members for securing the article of equipment within the carrying case, a first of said pair of securement members for attachment to the base of the article of equipment at a base securement location, and a second of said pair of securement members for attachment within the volume of the carrying case, at a carrying case securement location facing said base securement location when the article of equipment is within the carrying case, said first securement member having a thickness sufficient to interfere with the non-slip contact between the plurality of frictional members on the base of the carrying case and a supporting surface, when said first securement member is attached to the base of the equipment, said first securement member including supplemental frictional members secured thereto, of a thickness greater than the thickness of the remaining portion of the first securement member, such that said supplemental frictional members project beyond said remaining portion when said first securement member is attached to the base of the equipment, and that said supplemental frictional member will establish non-slip engagement with a supporting surface, said supplemental frictional members comprising at least one suction cup.
