Abstract

A cleaning device (1) for cleaning a submerged surface (99), the cleaning device (1) forming a first end portion (11) and a second end portion (12), and the cleaning device (1) including at least one rotatable brush (20) arranged to roll across the surface (99). The cleaning device further includes a frame (10) with a first axis (A1) between the first end portion (11) and the second end portion (12), and a second axis (A2) perpendicular to the first axis (A1). The brush (20) is provided with a rotational axis (20R) which is slanted relative to the first axis (A1). A rotatable brush (20A-D) for cleaning a submerged surface is described as well. The rotatable brush (20A-D) has a bristle (26A-C) with a free end portion (28) and a circular circumferential path (31 ), where the free end portion (28) forms a secant angle (a) with the circumferential path (31) which is different from 90 degrees.

Abstract

A cage (1) provided with a suspended track (3), the track (3) being arranged to guide a tool carrier (2) movably attached to the track (3), and the cage (1) comprising a surrounding holding structure (10) provided with a railing (13). The circumference (3) of the track (3) is smaller than the circumference of the railing (13), and the track (3) is provided with a plurality of elongated coupling members (4) for attaching the track (3) to the holding structure (10). Radially to the longitudinal direction of the track, the track (3) is formed with a continuous tight surface, and the track (3) is arranged to be carrying a load on a top side (30).

Abstract

The present application discloses a device (1) for cleaning a surface of a structure, the surface being submerged in a water column, comprising: at least one fin (3) for steering the device (1) against the submerged surface while the device (1) moves, through the water column, in a direction parallel to the submerged surface; and at least one pivoting means for pivoting the at least one fin (3), in relation to the device (1), in reaction to a drag acting on the at least one fin (3), in which the pivoting of the at least one fin (3) is constrained for steering the device (1) against the submerged surface. In one embodiment the device comprises brushes (61) which rotate around their pivots (611) in reaction to a contact with the submerged surface.
