Abstract: A cleaning tool (100) for a pipe is provided comprising a substantially cylindrical body (102) and a plurality of holes within the body section (102) for receiving resilient biasing means. A plurality of bristle heads (104) extend radially from the body. Each bristle head (104) is movable between an extended position and an inward position and the biasing means bias the bristle heads in the direction of the extended position. A housing may be provided for each resilient biasing means that is received in each of the plurality of the holes in the body.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus (2) comprising a hollow first cylindrical end collar (4), a hollow second cylindrical end collar (6) and a substantially tubular cleaning section, open at each end, extending therebetween, wherein the tubular cleaning section comprises a plurality of elongate strip brushes (8) disposed between the first cylindrical collar (4) and the second cylindrical collar (6) and arranged such that there are radical openings in the tubular cleaning section between said elongate strip brushes (8).

Abstract: A strip brush (10) includes a plurality of elongate bristles (12) and a spine formation (14), the bristles having first and second free ends (16) and being gripped by the spine formation (20) between said ends. The spine formation includes a length of material having first and second spaced folds and the plurality of bristles are trapped between the folds such that the first and second folds define opposing ends of said spine formation. The spine formation is formed of a single sheet of planar material which is folded and/or otherwise deformed into the required profile.
