  • Patent number: 6655228
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual directional power feed for use with handheld drills or stationary frame mounted power sources. The device comprises a housing, two pairs of wheel bearings rotatably mounted to the housing, a cap rotatably mounted to the housing, and a biasing bearing rotatably mounted to the cap. The cap is rotatable to a first position such that rotation of the threaded cable in a first direction causes the threaded cable to translate along its longitudinal axis in a first direction. The cap is further rotatable to a second position such that rotation of the threaded cable in the first direction causes the threaded cable to translate along its longitudinal axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction. Further, the present invention discloses a bearing and support assembly for coupling a power feed device to a power unit comprising a support plate and a bearing.

  • Patent number: 5309595
    Abstract: A drain cleaning apparatus has a cylindrical drum containing a supply of flexible line suitable for cleaning a drain. A frame is provided for rotatably supporting the drum and, in addition, the frame mounts a motor for rotating the drum relative to the frame and a control unit for selectively advancing cable from the drum and causing the cable to move back into the drum as the drum and cable length are rotated in use. The apparatus includes a wheeled cart which can be connected to at least one of the frame and drum for releasably operatively connecting the cart and the one of the frame and drum to allow the cart to be used to transport the drum and frame as a unit. Alternatively, the cart is adapted to be releasably connected to the drum to allow the drum to be transported by the cart without the frame.
