Reciprocally rotatable complementary surface adhering portions (34 and 44) are provided integral to each of two manufactured objects (30 and 40) to be rotatably adhered, such as a bowl and a holding base. Being complementary in rotation, these adhering portions mobilize the forces of intermolecular attraction in any smooth, viscous, continuously flowable, non-curing liquid (50) compressed into a liquid film (52) across their interface and are rotatable upon each other while adhered. Media for rotatably adhering comprise a variety of liquids, among which are common household products such as honey, syrup, liquid soap, and many other such viscous liquids. Depending upon the viscosity of the liquid employed, portions so adhered at normal room temperatures will temporarily resist a tensile force in excess of 0.454 kg (1 lb) per 6.55 cm2 (1 inch2) equivalent to a pull of 13.62 kg (30 lbs) on a bowl having a base adhering radius of 7.93 cm (3.125 inches). Parallel movement inhibiting abutment means (56 and 56′) are provided for inhibiting parallel movement of either manufactured object away from the other, while, at the same time, permitting their rotation upon each other while adhered. Thus separation by application of shear force or by simply sliding them apart is estopped, which means that some application of tensile force is required to effect separation whereby unadhering is controlled. Since unadhering can only be effected by application of some degree of tensile force, grappling means (62 and 64) are provided in certain embodiments to facilitate prying structures apart.

A pair of adhering structures for employing both the shearing properties and the forces of intermolecular attraction in a viscous, continuously flowable, non-curing liquid to rotatably, controllably, and releasably adhere two manufactured objects together, each said adhering structure being integral
A pair of adhering structures for employing both the shearing properties and the forces of intermolecular attraction in a viscous, continuously flowable, non-curing liquid to rotatably, controllably, and releasably adhere two manufactured objects together, each said adhering structure being integral to each of two manufactured objects to be rotatably, controllably, and releasably adhered together, each said adhering structure comprising: (a) an adhering surface portion of predetermined size integral to said adhering structure, said portion having a surface contour that is symmetrically concentric around its axis and essentially complementary in size and shape to the other said portion of the other said adhering structure, whereby said portion of one said adhering structure may be reciprocally fitted to and rotated upon the other said portion of the other said adhering structure around their respective axes without breaking a common complementary interface; (b) integral to each said adhering structure: rotatable, non-locking, parallel movement inhibiting abutment means for reciprocally abutting said abutment means of the other said adhering structure to inhibit movement of one said portion way from the other said portion in a direction parallel to their imaginary planes when said portions have been reciprocally fitted together, said abutment means uninhibitedly permitting rotation upon each other of said portions and uninhibitedly permitting separation of said portions by tensile force acting in a direction perpendicular to their imaginary planes when fitted together; whereby said portions, when reciprocally fitted together, may mobilize, within a predetermined range of temperatures, the forces both of intermolecular attraction in, and the shearing and lubricating properties of, a film of a viscous, continuously flowable, non-curing liquid when spread intermediately between said portions across said common complementary interface, whereby said portions may lubricatively rotatably adhere to said film of said viscous, continuously flowable, non-curing liquid as a flowable adhering medium and thereby lubricatively rotatably adhere to each other; whereby said adhering structures to which said portions are integral may be adhered to each other in location, lubricatively rotated upon each other while remaining adhered in location, inhibited from being slid apart by shear force acting in a direction parallel to the imaginary planes of said portions when lubricatively rotatably adhered, and optionally separated from each other by a tensile force sufficient to break the bonds of intermolecular attraction mobilized between them when lubricatively rotatably adhered; whereby the two said manufactured objects to the each of which each of said adhering structures is integral may be rotatably, controllably, and releasably adhered together.
