  • Patent number: 8517208
    Abstract: A muck bucket for containing backflowing waste from an end of a pipe includes an enclosure having a continuous wall. The continuous wall includes an upper edge defining an upper opening and a lower edge defining a lower opening. The lower edge is configured to surround the end of the pipe and form a watertight seal with a surface surrounding the end of the pipe. There is at least one flange peripherally extending outwardly from the lower edge of the enclosure. The flange is secured to the surface surrounding the end of the pipe via a screw, a bolt, or an adhesive. The screw, bolt, or adhesive is included to maintain a water-tight seal between the lower edge and the surface.

  • Patent number: 7478480
    Abstract: A chain pipe-cutter is made up of chain links joined together by cross bars, the cross bars further engage cutting wheels. A pair of adapters each having a U-shaped body with a pair of longitudinally oriented legs joined together by a back portion from which the legs depend. The legs have holes so the adapters may engaged with one of the chain links at a terminal position on the chain by cross bars. The back portions providing a groove having a longitudinal orientation so that with the chain wrapped around a brittle pipe the adapters are positioned in near adjacency, and may be further forced into convergence by a tool engaging each of the longitudinal grooves to sever the pipe.
