Patent

CA 2232618

A vehicle for traversing a surface, for example for carrying out an inspection, survey or maintenance operation upon that surface, comprises two or more bodies (10, 11) interconnected by means (12) to move the bodies towards and away from each other, each of the bodies being supported upon a multiplicity of resilient bristles (15) extending from it. By relative movement of the bodies, the vehicle is able to traverse the surface, which may be flat or curved, for example the internal or external surface of a tubular conduit such as a tunnel, shaft or pipe.

Engin se déplaçant sur une surface, par exemple pour effectuer une inspection, un relevé ou une opération de maintenance sur cette surface, composé d'au moins deux corps (10, 11) reliés par un élément (12) qui les éloigne et les rapproche l'un de l'autre, chaque corps s'appuyant sur une multiplicité de poils souples (15) qui le prolongent. Le mouvement relatif des corps permet à l'engin de se déplacer sur la surface, qui peut être plane ou incurvée, par exemple sur la surface interne ou externe d'un conduit tubulaire tel qu'un tunnel, un puits ou une conduite.
