A drain cleaner is disclosed having a housing with an interior region for storing a flexible drain cleaning cable. The drain cleaning cable can be extended from the drain cleaner and includes a rotatable member within a non-rotating sheath. The drain cleaner includes an engageable drive shaft coupled to the rotatable member. In certain versions, the drive shaft is coupled to the rotatable member through a torque limiting device such as a clutch. Upon engagement of the drive shaft with a rotary power source, a rotating distal end of the flexible cable can be used to dislodge obstructions in pipes. The interior region of the drain cleaner is configured to promote efficient coiling of the drain cleaning cable. The drain cleaner includes additional features for reducing wear of cable and components, and securely retaining the cable to the drain cleaner.

A drain cleaning device including a drum, a cable positioned within the drum, a motor coupled to the drum to rotate the drum, a cable feed device operable to extend the cable out of the drum and retract the cable into the drum, a sensor operable to detect a performance characteristic of the drain cleaning device, and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the motor, the cable feed device, or both. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the performance characteristic of the drain cleaning device, and send an instruction to the motor, the cable feed device, or both to change an operating parameter of the motor, the cable feed device, or both based on the signal received from the sensor.

A portable drain cleaning machine includes a flexible shaft advancing and retreating device, a casing device, a motor device, a drum device, a flexible shaft, protection tubes, and a joint. The flexible shaft advancing and retreating device is connected with the protection tube. The protection tubes are connected with the casing device. Both the motor device and the drum device are arranged in the casing device. The motor device cooperates with the drum device. The flexible shaft includes one end connected with the drum device and the other end arranged in a funnel-shaped structure. The flexible shaft penetrates the flexible shaft advancing and retreating device and the protection tube. Any adjacent two of the protection tubes are connected by the joint. The drum device includes a drum body, a flexible shaft disc, and a motor connecting plate. The flexible shaft disc is arranged on the drum body.

Apparatus for cleaning and disinfecting sink drains and overflow holes. The apparatus includes: a cleaning fluid dispenser having a cleaning fluid reservoir, and a dispensing mechanism with a fluid dispensing port. Cleaning fluid is forced from the cleaning fluid reservoir out via the fluid dispensing port. A flexible tube is attached to the fluid dispensing port, and a support wire is affixed at its proximal end to the inside of the fluid dispensing port. A cylindrical brush is attached to a distal end of the support wire, which runs inside the tube along its length from the dispensing port to the cylindrical brush, so the tube can provide cleaning fluid to the cylindrical brush. The flexible tube is durable under repeated use, sliding in and out of the overflow hole and the drain of a sink, while the wire prevents the tube from kinking.
