Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 438,176, filed on January 10, 2023, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a handheld drain cleaner that can be used to clean drains to improve drain flow. Background Art

[0004] Drain cleaners are typically designed to clean sections of drains. Drain cleaners typically have a flexible cable attached to a handheld drain auger that is pushed into the drain when the user rotates a cylinder anchoring the cable. Similar to a handheld drain auger, a drain wand can be used to clear blockages in long, straight runs of pipe.

[0005] Many handheld drain augers have flexible cables thin enough to pass through common sink traps, and advantages of handheld drain augers include their relative low cost and their ready availability at hardware stores. However, conventional handheld drain augers are not effective at allowing strong pushing or pulling forces to be applied to the flexible cable, resulting in insufficient power to clear clogs. Furthermore, even when using a drill to directly rotate the flexible cable, a user pushing the drill axially toward the flexible cable may not generate sufficient force to provide a strong pushing or pulling force to the flexible cable. Summary of the Invention

[0050] This product uses a drain cleaner, such as a handheld drain cleaner, that uses a collet to move a rotating cable attached to a flexible shaft. The user's hand controls the upward and downward movement of the rotating cable. A hand drill rotates the cable.

[0051] The swivel cable and flexible shaft are not gripped by the user. Instead, the user grips a cable gripper or cleaner. This allows the swivel cable to enter the drain with greater force and allows the user to feel resistance when cleaning or clearing a clog in the drain.

[0052] The flexible shaft allows the cable to rotate without loss of torque.

[0053] The cable can be rotated at the speed of a hand drill. The rotating cable can be moved up or down the drain. These movements allow you to clear a clogged drain or clean the drain.

[0054] The length of the flexible shaft or rotating cable can be adjusted by grasping and releasing the flexible shaft.

[0055] The product is compact and light, and easy for the user to maneuver.

[0056] like Figure 1-18 As shown in FIG. 1 , for example, a handheld drain cleaner is provided that can be used to clean a drain (eg, when clogged) or to improve drain flow.

[0057] In this regard, Figure 1 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an upper perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a close-up view of an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 is a lower perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] refer to Figure 1-4 , the handheld emission device cleaner 1 may include a body 10 having a first section 20 and a second section 40. The first section 20 is adjacent to the second section 40, and the first section 20 is coupled to the second section 40. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first section 20 and the second section 40 may be welded together at their outer surfaces, but this is not required, and the first section 20 and the second section 40 may be attached to each other by fastening means such as rivets, a combination of nuts and bolts, screws, or by fitting their pieces together, but is not limited thereto.

[0059] The first section 20 may include a lower portion 22 connected to a lower handle 25 and an upper portion 21 connected to an upper handle 24. When the upper handle 24 and the lower handle 25 are squeezed together or released by the user 100 (as per Figure 8 ), the upper portion 21 can move relative to the lower portion 22 based on the movement of the upper handle 24 relative to the lower handle 25. The upper handle 24 is coupled to the upper portion 21 by a lever that can close or release the upper portion 21 relative to the lower portion 22. The upper portion 21 and the lower portion 22 can be movably coupled by a hinge 33.

[0060] refer to Figure 1 and 2 The first section 20 further includes a housing including a first upper housing 32 and a first lower housing 23. The first upper housing 32 and the first lower housing 23 may be coupled to each other, and the means of coupling thereof may include welding, using rivets, by a combination of nuts and bolts, using screws, or fitting the pieces together, but is not limited thereto.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first section 20 may be generally cylindrical in shape, such that the first upper shell 32 and the first lower shell 23 may also each have a cylindrical shape. However, the shapes of the first section 20, the first upper shell 32, and the lower shell 23 may vary, such that rectangular, oval, polygonal, and other shapes are within the scope of the present invention. In various embodiments, the shapes of the first upper shell 32 and the first lower shell 23 may be the same, or may differ from each other.

[0062] The upper portion 21 may be formed in a semicircular or semi-annular shape and may partially surround the first upper housing 32. The upper portion 21 is coupled to the first upper housing 32. For example, the means for coupling the upper portion 21 and the first upper housing 32 may be a first bolt 27 attached to the first upper housing 32 at a first end and to the upper portion 21 at a second end. The upper portion 21 is capable of pivoting relative to the first upper housing 32 at a hinge 33 that accommodates the first bolt 27. When the upper portion 21 pivots, the upper handle 24 attached to the upper portion 21 is capable of moving away from or toward the lower handle 25.

[0063] The upper portion 21 also includes an upper slot 29 (e.g., a horizontal slot) at a location between the attachment point to the upper handle 24 and the hinge 33 (or first bolt 27). The upper slot 29 includes a chamber or space to accommodate a second bolt 28 extending outward from the first upper housing 32. The second bolt 28 is connected to or attached to a collet 80 positioned inside the first section 20 (see FIG. Figure 9 As the upper portion 21 pivots relative to the first upper housing 32 , the chamber or space in the upper slot 29 enables the second bolt 28 to move or slide across the upper slot 29 , thereby enabling the second bolt 28 to raise or lower the collet 80 relative to the first upper housing 32 .

[0064] The first upper housing 32 also includes a lower slot 26 (e.g., a vertical slot) at the lower portion 22. The lower slot 26 is located at a position on the lower portion 22 between the attachment point to the lower handle 25 and the attachment point to the second section 40. The lower slot 26 exposes a side portion of the collet 80 positioned inside the first section 20. The lower slot 26 also accommodates a second bolt 28 extending outward from the first upper housing 32 and includes a chamber or space that allows the second bolt 28 to move or slide across the lower slot 26 relative to the first upper housing 32. Therefore, when the upper portion 21 pivots relative to the first upper housing 32, the second bolt 28 moves or slides across both the upper slot 29 and the lower slot 28, thereby raising or lowering the collet 80 in the first upper housing 32. The lower slot 26 and the upper slot 29 are elongated in the cross direction. In one example, the lower slot 26 and the upper slot 29 are elongated in the vertical direction and overlap.

[0065] The first lower housing 23 may be attached to the lower portion 22 by means of a first connection 34. The first connection 34 may be a weld, but is not limited thereto, and other attachment means such as rivets, nut and bolt combinations, screws, or by fitting pieces together are within the scope of the present disclosure, but are not limited thereto.

[0066] refer to Figure 4 The first lower shell 23 may include a first lower hole 35 that can communicate with the inner space of the first upper shell 32. The first lower shell 23 also includes an inner space. The bottom surface of the first lower shell 23 is circular and has the first lower hole 35 at the center of the bottom surface.

[0067] refer to Figure 5-8 The drain cleaner 1 can be configured such that the body 10 is coupled to a drill 70 capable of rotating the shaft 50 and the auger head 60 positioned at the end of the shaft 50 to clean the drain 90. The conduit 60 can house the shaft 50 so as to protect the user from fluids, dust, and dirt that may come into contact with the shaft 50 while the shaft 50 is in the drain. The conduit 61 can be connected to the body 10 via a conduit connector 62 and a conduit receiver 63.

[0068] refer to Figure 1-4 9, the first lower housing 23 accommodates a first rotating gear 38 coupled to a first bearing 36. The first bearing 36 includes a first central hole 37 that communicates with the first lower hole 35. A collet 80 is also accommodated in the interior space of the first upper housing 32. In addition, a collet head 84 can be partially inserted into the first central hole 37.

[0069] refer to Figure 9, a first rotating gear 38 is provided inside the first section 20. The first rotating gear 38 may be supported by a first bearing 36. The upper portion 21 may include a collet portion 30 including a collet 80. The collet 80 may have a shape with slits or cutouts (such as a cone, but may also be cylindrical or other polygonal shapes, such as a hexagon). When the collet 80 is forced against the first rotating gear 38 or the inner wall of the first central hole 37 of the lower portion 22 by movement of the handles 24, 25, these slits or cutouts enable a portion of the wall (collet head) 84 of the collet 80 to press or snap onto the shaft 50. An urging device 85 (such as a spring) may be provided in the first section 20 to interact with the collet portion 30 to urge the collet 80 to disengage from the first rotating gear 38 or the first central hole 37 of the lower portion 22. The collet portion 30 may have a planar upper surface aligned with the upper edge of the first upper housing 32.

[0070] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 13-15 The collet 80 may include a collet body 81, a collet recess 82 positioned on the collet body 81, a collet shaft 83 connected to the collet body 81, a collet head 84, and a collet surface 801 or recess 86 positioned on one side of the collet body 81. A push device 85 may also be provided with the collet 80.

[0071] The collet 80 can be placed in the interior space of the first upper housing 32, whereby the collet head 84 is positioned toward the first central hole 37 and the collet body 81 is positioned toward the first upper hole 31. The collet body 81 can be a circular disk that can rotate in the interior space of the first upper housing 32. The collet shaft 83 can be a cylindrical body having an internal bore that is connected to the collet body 81, and the collet head 84 can be a partial cone that has an internal bore that is also connected to the collet shaft 84. The internal bores of the collet head 84, the collet shaft 83, and the collet body 81 communicate with each other in the axial direction to provide an internal path for connecting the end of the collet head 84 to the end of the collet body 81.

[0072] The collet head 84 may be a partial cone or a frustum of a cone having a profile that changes from a first end to a second end of the collet head 84 in the axial direction of the collet head 84. The first end of the collet head 84 is narrower than the second end of the collet head 84, and the first end of the collet head 84 is capable of being coupled to the first central bore 37 of the first bearing 36. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first end of the collet head 84 may be inserted into the first central bore 37 to squeeze portions of the first end of the collet head 84 together, which narrows the opening of the internal bore of the collet head 84 at the first end.

[0073] The urging device 85 may have a first end that contacts the first bearing 36 and a second end that contacts the collet body 81 at the collet recess 86 or the collet groove 87. When the collet 80 is urged toward the first bearing 36, the urging device 85 may be pushed or compressed, causing the spacing between the coils of the urging device 85 to become narrower. When the pressure on the collet 80 is released, the urging device 85 rebounds, pushing the collet 80 away from the first bearing 36, and the spacing between the coils of the urging device 85 becomes wider.

[0074] refer to Figure 9 , the collet recess 82 receives the second bolt 28, and movement of the upper handle 24 is transmitted to the collet 80 through the second bolt 28 to provide pressure that pushes the collet 80 toward the first bearing 36. At the same time, the release of pressure by the upper handle 24 allows the urging device 85 to transmit movement away from the first bearing 36 to the upper handle 24 through the second bolt 28.

[0075] The shaft 50 may be flexible. The collet 80 and the shaft 50 may rotate. The shaft 50 may be fed through a passageway included in the first upper hole 31 in the middle of the first section 20 (such as the first rotating gear 38 and the collet 80) and may be gripped when the handles 24 and 25 are squeezed. The shaft 50 may be released when the handles 24 and 25 are released, allowing the length of the shaft 50 to be adjusted for cleaning the discharge device. The shaft 50 may be connected to the auger head 60 by a connector 55.

[0076] refer to Figure 1-4 9, the second section 40 includes a housing including a second lower housing 41 and a second upper housing 42. The second upper housing 42 contains a second rotating gear 48 and has an outwardly extending central shaft 43. The central shaft 43 can be coupled to a drill 70, which can rotate the second rotating gear 48 connected to the central shaft 43. The second rotating gear 48 is in communication with the first rotating gear 38, such that rotation of the drill 70 is transmitted to the first rotating gear 38 via the second rotating gear 48. The rotational speed of the shaft 50 can be controlled by the rotational speed of the drill 70.

[0077] The second lower housing 41 can be attached to the first lower housing 23 at a second connection 44, and can enable the second rotating gear 48 to communicate with the first rotating gear 38. At the second connection 44, a second cutout 46 can be formed on the side wall of the second lower housing 41, which allows a portion of the second rotating gear 48 to protrude outside the second lower housing 41. When the second lower housing 41 is coupled to the first lower housing 23, a portion of the second rotating gear 48 can extend through the hole at the second cutout 46 to partially enter the internal space in the first lower housing 23, and the teeth of the second rotating gear 48 can intermesh with the teeth of the first rotating gear 38.

[0078] The drainage cleaner 1 may be held by one hand 110 of the user 100 , and the drill 70 may be held by the other hand 110 of the user 100 , to give the drainage cleaner 1 stability and ease of use.

[0079] The conduit 61 may surround a portion of the shaft 50 distal from the exhaust cleaner 1 to protect the user 100 and maintain cleanliness.

[0080] A vacuum device 95 may be used with the exhaust cleaner 1 and may be connected to the conduit 61 to remove or suction up debris.

[0081] Figure 13 Details are shown of the second lower housing 41, the first lower portion 26, and the lower handle 25. Details of the elements positioned within the interior space of the second lower housing 41 and the first lower portion 26 are also shown.

[0082] For example, the second rotating gear 48 is connected to the second bearing 47. The central shaft 43 is directly connected to the second rotating gear 48, so that rotation applied to the central shaft 43 also rotates the second rotating gear 48. The second bearing 47 supports the rotation of the central shaft 43 and the second rotating gear 48. The second gripper 49 at the bottom portion of the second rotating gear 48 can be placed on a recessed portion of the second lower housing 41 that communicates with the second lower hole 45. In addition, when the second rotating gear 48 is placed in the interior space of the second lower housing 41, the second upper housing 42 can cover the interior space of the second lower housing 41. The second upper housing 42 includes a second upper hole 450 that communicates with the interior space of the second lower housing 41. The second upper hole allows the central shaft 43 to pass through the second upper housing 42.

[0083] The second upper shell 42 and the second lower shell 41 can be connected and matched to form the second section 40. The second upper shell 42 and the second lower shell 41 can be connected by fasteners. In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the fasteners can be screws that pass through the second upper shell 42 and connect to the second lower shell 41, but this is not required, and the second upper shell 42 can be connected to the second lower shell 41 by welding (such as through a third connection). However, the use of fasteners (such as screws) allows the second upper shell 42 and the second lower shell 41 to be separated to access the second rotating gear 48 for maintenance or replacement, as an example.

[0084] refer to Figure 14, the collet head 84 may include a plurality of segments or partial walls that annularly define the inner bore of the collet head 84. The plurality of segments of the collet head 84 may include at least two or more segments, but embodiments of the present disclosure may include three segments, four segments, or five segments, but are not limited thereto. The collet shaft 83 may also include a plurality of segments or partial walls that annularly define the inner bore of the collet shaft 83. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of segments of the collet head 84 may be the same as or different from the number of segments of the collet shaft 83. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, each segment of the collet head 84 may be respectively connected to each segment of the collet shaft 83.

[0085] Cutouts are formed between the multiple segments of the collet head 84 and the collet shaft 83, extending from the first end of the collet head 84 to the collet shaft 83. Each segment of the collet head 84 is independently movable. When the first end of the collet head 84 is pressed into the first central bore 37 of the first bearing 36, the multiple segments of the collet head 84 are squeezed together, shrinking the size of the opening at the first end of the collet head 84 to impact the shaft 50 extending through the collet head 84, the collet shaft 83, and the inner bore of the collet body 81. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as the collet head 84 is further inserted into the first central bore 37, the multiple segments of the collet head 84 are squeezed together more due to the tapered shape of the collet head 84 at the first end. When the collet head 84 is squeezed together with greater force, a greater amount of force is applied to the outer surface of the shaft 50, ensuring that the shaft 50 is clamped by the partial wall of the collet head 84 and rotates with the rotation of the first rotating gear 38. The collet head 84 may be squeezed together with greater force by applying greater squeezing force to the upper and lower handles 24 and 25 .

[0086] refer to Figure 15 , the second rotating gear 48 may be connected to the second gripper 49 on one side and to the second gripper 401 on the other side. The second bearing 47 may be connected to the second gripper 401. Each of the second gripper 49, the second rotating gear 48, the second gripper 401, and the second bearing 47 may be attached to the central shaft 43 so that the second rotating gear 48 rotates as the central shaft 43 rotates.

[0087] refer to Figure 15 , the collet 80 includes an inner bore in the form of a collet passage 88 surrounded by a collet head 84 which is supported by a collet bearing 89 connected to a collet surface 801 of the collet body 81 .

[0088] Figure 16 is a collet according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 17 Show the basis Figure 16 Details of a collet of another embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 18An exhaust cleaner according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0089] exist Figure 16 In, because Figure 16 The collet can be constructed with Figure 9 and 13 -15 are substantially the same, differing only in the configuration of the collet head and one or more patterns of the separating wall, so redundant descriptions will be omitted. The same reference numerals will be used for the same components. Figure 9 and 13 -15 to proceed.

[0090] refer to Figure 16 The collet 800 includes a collet body 81 having a collet recess 82. The collet 800 also includes a collet head 840, which may have a plurality of partial walls separated by primary cutouts extending from the collet body 81 toward the distal end of the collet head 840 at a first end of the collet head 840. Furthermore, at least one partial wall further includes a secondary cutout positioned in the middle of the at least one partial wall. Thus, the at least one partial wall may have two halves defined by the secondary cutout, and the two halves may be connected at the first end of the collet head 840 distal to the collet body 81. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the at least one partial wall may have two or more secondary cutouts and a plurality of secondary sections or halves. Furthermore, the connection of the secondary sections of the at least one partial wall defined by the secondary cutouts may be located near the first end of the collet head 840, at a location distal to the first end of the collet head 840 (e.g., near the collet body 81), or a combination thereof.

[0091] refer to Figure 17 , further details are shown Figure 16 Collet 800. The same reference numerals will be used for the same components. Figure 17 , the collet head 840 has a primary cutout and a secondary cutout extending in a direction substantially parallel to the axial direction of the collet head 840. Figure 17 As shown in FIG, the collet 800 need not have a collet shaft, or may have a short collet shaft. Figure 17In the embodiment of the present invention, the collet 800 includes a collet base 830 that connects a collet head 840 to the collet body 81. Due to the compact size of the collet base 830, the collet head 840 can be more tightly connected to the collet body 81, and the collet head 840 can provide stronger support to the collet body 81. At the same time, the primary cutouts and secondary cutouts in the partial wall of the collet head 840 provide flexibility to the collet head 840 to better grip the shaft 50.
