Abstract
The invention relates to a device for maintaining on a non-horizontal surface an apparatus adapted to move along said surface. Said device consists, according to the invention, of a support (1) adapted to move normally to the surface carrying the apparatus, of a rocking lever (5) having a flexibility held within a certain range to allow it to accommodate changes in curvature, and of at least two suction cups mounted close to the ends of the rocking lever. There is thus afforded a more reliable, less expensive holding effect.
