  • Patent number: 10060110
    Abstract: A mechanized, light weight, and compact drain opener that is different and more effective than any present art device available, as it is easily portable, of low cost, and enables virtually anyone the ability to employ a powerful, easily operated, non-manual, thrusting and pumping action upon a clogged drain, by ability of the device to be easily placed immediate to a clogged drain, and powered by any common, inexpensive electric drill, commonly found in most homes, as opposed to existing art devices, that when portable, are generally manually operated, difficult to use, and only marginally effective, or when effective, are large, cumbersome, motor-driven devices, that are of a prohibitive cost to own, by the average person.

  • Publication number: 20150020297
    Abstract: In general, a flush toilet with a built-in clog removal system is described. In one embodiment, the disclosed toilet is defined by: a bowl connected to an drain pipe; at least one one-way valve positioned pipe; and a pump in fluid communication with the pipe so that (a) initiating the pump to force the piston downward or upward causes fluid-flow in the pipe so that the one-way valve closes or opens as a result of pressure or a vacuum against debris clogging the drain.

  • Patent number: 8684022
    Abstract: A device to clear a blockage from an HVACR condensate drain line. A piston connected to a rod with a handle is inserted directly into the distal or outlet end of a condensate drain pipe and then rapidly withdrawn to create a vacuum or suction within the drain line. When sufficient suction pressure is created, it will dislodge a blockage in the drain line. Typically the piston has a proximal end with a diameter slightly greater than the inside diameter of the condensate drain pipe. Upon removal of the device from the drain pipe, the proximal end is caused to expand to its full diameter, creating an airtight and fluid tight seal with the inner diameter of the drain pipe, allowing for the creation of negative pressure and/or suction upstream to dislodge the blockage.

  • Patent number: 7962974
    Abstract: A system and method for a plunger for unclogging a toilet. A plunger system comprising an elongated cylinder, a flexible material at a first end of the elongated cylinder, an air reservoir located inside the cylinder having an outlet extending through the flexible material, and a valve adapted to release compressed air stored inside the air reservoir through the outlet. The flexible material is capable of being expanded to seal the exit port of a toilet. A method for unclogging a toilet with a plunger device comprising the following steps: inserting a first end of a plunger device into an exit port of the toilet, expanding a flexible material attached to the first end of the plunger device to seal the exit port, and releasing a bolus of air into the exit port past the flexible material to unclog the toilet.

  • Patent number: 7188377
    Abstract: A pump having a vessel with a hollow interior. An adaptor may be associated with the vessel and include an opening that facilitates selective flow of fluid relative to the interior. A piston may be slidably mounted within the vessel's interior and movable relative to the adaptor. The pump may also include a piston actuator having a first actuator end and a second actuator end in which the first actuator end is operably associated with the piston. The second actuator end may extend outside the interior such that the piston actuator is configured for facilitating selectable movement of the piston within the vessel. A valve assembly selectively attachable to the adaptor to facilitate selective flow of fluid relative to the adaptor.
