Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system that comprises an electric motor, an electric motor housing, a cable and a heat shield. the electric motor housing substantially surrounds the electric motor with the exception of a protruding shaft of the electric motor. The cable is coupled to the electric motor, the cable is constructed to rotate within a stovepipe or chimney.

Abstract: Disclosed is a control method of a lifting apparatus for a highly-mounted device. The control method includes (a) outputting a descending signal in a state where the main body and the lifting body are coupled; (b) determining whether the lifting body is normally released downward from the main body according to the descending signal; and (c) stopping the driving motor or executing the step (a) again when the lifting body is not normally released downward, wherein in the step (b), it is determined whether the lifting body is normally released downward from the main body by checking whether a weight of the lifting body is applied to the wire rope.

Abstract: One embodiment of a pipe universal connector having pluralities of conduits (25, 33, 35) which communicates with other pipes (63), appliance (67) and access bin (39). At least one or more conduits consist of flexible material that can instantly adjust-on-demand to desired angle, offset, turns and positions, making this connector able to replace a T-pipe, Y-pipe and more. In addition, damper (27) and gutter (53) inhabits the intersection (59) to control access to energy and environmental modules, debris, draft and downdraft movement.

Abstract: A chimney cleaning apparatus and method of using the same to clean a chimney. The chimney cleaning apparatus comprises a support structure for attaching the chimney cleaning apparatus adjacent an exhaust outlet of a chimney. An adjustable rotatable arm is supported by the support structure and a drive mechanism rotates the adjustable rotatable arm relative to the support structure. A cable is attached to a free end of the adjustable rotatable arm and the cable, during use, extending into a discharge passage of the chimney to facilitate cleaning of the chimney when the drive mechanism rotates the adjustable rotatable arm.
