ABSTRACT:
A water-resistant clock with a plurality of double suction cups by which it may be retained on a smooth surface. A crystal is attached to the front casing with a front gasket. Three arms extend from the clock's casing, spaced apart on the clock's circumference at equal 120 degree angles. On the rear side of each arm is a double suction cup, by which the clock may be attached to a wall. Pull tabs on each suction cup make it easier to remove the suction cups, and thereby the clock, from the surface to which it is attached. The clock's rear casing is fastened to the front casing in a watertight manner. A back cover fits against a protruding rear circular gasket between the back cover and the rear casing to form a watertight seal. The rear gasket is partially covered by three outwardly extending arcuate prongs, which engage three inwardly extending arcuate prongs on the back cover, when the back cover is closed, creating a water-resistant seal that protects the clockworks. The suction cups should be made of rubber or flexible plastic such as polyvinyl chloride or an injection-molded elastomer, and be capable of retaining the clock on a smooth flat vertical surface for an extended period of time, as in a shower stall.
