Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device that is adsorbed on a surface of a ship, an oil storage tank, or a building and is movable along the surface so as to perform operations such as cleaning, painting, and inspection on the surface.

- Partitioning means in the form of a lip extending along the surface have been demonstrated to be superior to other forms of dividing means in various properties, including overriding properties. However, it does include a lip that extends along the surface.
- the following problems to be solved remain in the conventional partitioning means. For example, if the surface on which the device is adsorbed is a curved surface having a relatively small radius of curvature, the lip is not curved according to the curved surface due to the rigidity possessed by the lip of the partitioning means, and the lip is not curved. It tends to be gradually separated from the surface from the periphery. If this tendency is promoted, the inner peripheral edge of the lip is also detached from the surface, thus opening the depressurized space, and there is a possibility that the adsorption of the device to the surface is impaired. .
