CA 2541004

The invention concerns a surface traversing apparatus that includes a frame, a seal having a seal perimeter that is mounted to the frame, and a drive configured to move the apparatus relative to the surface. The seal perimeter is adapted substantially for rolling contact with the surface to be traversed. The device is capable of suction adhering and moving along horizontal, vertical, inverted surfaces and the like, and overcoming obstacles or surface irregularities while maintaining suction adhesion to the surface. The device can be propelled along the surface with a locomoting rolling seal assembly, which provides both a seal to affect the vacuum adhesion and the locomotion to drive the device across the surface.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de déplacement sur une surface comportant un châssis, un joint présentant un périmètre de joint, monté sur le châssis, et un entraînement destiné à déplacer le dispositif par rapport à la surface. Le périmètre de joint est essentiellement adapté à un contact par roulement avec la surface devant être parcourue. Ledit dispositif est capable d'adhérer à la surface par aspiration, de se déplacer le long de surfaces horizontales, verticales, inversées et similaires, et de surmonter des obstacles ou des irrégularités de surface tout en adhérant à la surface par aspiration. Ledit dispositif peut être mû le long de la surface à l'aide d'un ensemble de joint de roulement d'entraînement produisant un joint pour l'adhérence par aspiration et l'entraînement pour le déplacement le long de la surface.
