AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing drain cleaning methods require the removal of pivot rods, which is inconvenient and time-consuming, and can lead to spillage of fluid or refuse during the cleaning process.
Method used
A drain cleaner system comprising an extension rod and a cleaning member with flexible members forming a spiral configuration, allowing the cleaning member to pass over the pivot rod without removal, and optionally including a rigid adapter and a pipe cover to prevent outgassing.
Benefits of technology
Facilitates efficient cleaning of sink drains without the need to remove pivot rods, reducing inconvenience and spillage, while maintaining the pivot rod in place during the cleaning process.

Abstract
A drain cleaner may include an extension rod. A cleaning member may be configured to couple with the extension rod, the cleaning member having one or more flexible members. The flexible members may in implementations include polymer fin-like structures, or in other implementations may include bristles. The cleaning member may have one or more slits therein configured to allow a pivot rod of a sink to pass through while cleaning a sink drain. A drain cleaner system may include a pipe cover configured to be coupled with an open end of a pipe, to prevent or reduce outgassing therefrom, during a cleaning operation. In implementations the cleaning member may clean the sink drain by squeegeeing an inner sidewall of the sink drain using one or more outer edges of the one or more flexible members. One or more rigid members or rigid adapters may be coupled with the cleaning member.
