A deformable device mountable by suction on a mounting surface including a
body having an inner surface and a periphery. The inner surface has a
concave portion and a suction portion contiguous with suction created to
mount the body on the mounting surface. The inner surface includes a
boundary defining the suction portion, an additional portion between the
boundary and the periphery, and a bend adjacent the boundary at which the
inner surface curves away from the mounting surface. The body is
deformable from an undeformed shape to an actuated shape to mount the
body on the mounting surface by positioning the inner surface of the
undeformed body adjacent the mounting surface thereby forming a cavity
and deforming the body to the actuated shape thereby sealing the body
against the mounting surface and forcing fluid from the cavity to create
suction between the body and the mounting surface.
