An apparatus (50) processes a surface of an inhabitable structure. The apparatus includes a laser base unit (300) which irradiates an interaction region with laser light, the laser light removing material from the structure. The laser base unit includes a laser generator (310) and a laser head (200, 1200) coupled to the laser generator (310). The laser head (200, 1200) includes a containment plenum (240) which confines and removes material from the interaction region. The containment plenum (240) includes a rubber seal (246) which contacts the structure and which substantially surrounds the interaction region, thereby facilitating confinement and removal of material from the interaction region, and providing reduced disruption to activities within the structure. The apparatus further includes an anchoring mechanism (110, 1110) releasably coupled to the structure and releasably coupled to the laser head (200, 1200). The apparatus further includes a controller (500) electrically coupled to the laser base unit. The controller transmits control signals to the laser base unit (300) in response to user input.

L'invention concerne un appareil (50) permettant de traiter une surface d'une structure habitable. Cet appareil comprend une unité de base laser (300) qui diffuse une lumière laser sur une région d'interaction, la lumière laser éliminant un matériau de la structure. L'unité de base laser comprend un générateur de laser (310) et une tête de laser (200, 1200) reliée au générateur de laser (310). La tête de laser (200, 1200) comprend une chambre de retenue conçue pour confiner et éliminer le matériau de la région d'interaction. Cette chambre de retenue (240) comprend un joint en caoutchouc (246) qui est en contact avec la structure et qui entoure sensiblement la région d'interaction, ce qui permet de faciliter la retenue et l'élimination de matériaux de la région d'interaction, et de réduire l'interruption d'activités dans la structure. L'appareil de l'invention comprend également un mécanisme d'ancrage (110, 1110) relié amovible à la structure et à la tête de laser (200, 1200). Ledit appareil comprend en outre un contrôleur (500) relié électriquement à l'unité de base laser. Le contrôleur transmet des signaux de commande à l'unité de base laser (300) en réponse à une entrée d'utilisateur.
