Wheel cleaning apparatus and method
A system and method for cleaning a cart wheel includes an elongated body having a central channel having an entry end and an exit end. A shuttle slidably engages the elongated body and is engageable by a wheel entering the central channel from the entry end such that the wheel pushes the shuttle along the central channel and disengages the shuttle adjacent the exit end, wherein a sliding engagement between the wheel and the shuttle cleans the wheel.
Detachably attachable implement scraper
An implement scraper provides a scraper bar for scraping debris into a bucket, such as a five-gallon bucket, and is detachably attachable to the bucket by a bucket coupler. The bucket coupler is configured with a latch that rotates to secure the implement scraper to the rim of the bucket. The latch may be pivotably coupled between a latch pivot aperture. A rim extension is configured to extend along a rim of the bucket and the scraper bar is coupled to the rim extension and may extend across an extension angle of the bucket. A debris aperture is formed between the scraper bar and the rim extension to allow debris to fall therethrough into the bucket. A magnetic coupler is configured to retain a metallic implement to the implement scraper by one or more magnets.
WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM
An aircraft windshield wiper system includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade coupled to a first end of the wiper arm, and an output shaft coupled to a second end of the wiper arm. The wiper blade includes a fluid dispensing system including nozzles, a fluid control unit, fluid lines, fluid source, and a user interface. The wiper blade with the fluid dispensing system is configured to dispense a variety of fluids directly from the wiper blade onto the windshield of an aircraft.
SPLINE CLEANING DEVICE
A spline cleaning device for cleaning splines formed within a component of a gas turbine engine. The spline cleaning device comprises: a central support; a central support sleeve that surrounds and is movable with respect to the central support; a scraper having protrusions that substantially correspond to the splines, the scraper being attachable to the central support sleeve, and configured to remove surface contaminants from the surface of the splines; and a collector sump that is attachable to the central support and configured to collect the surface contaminants that have been removed from the surface of the splines.
Biological cleanup kit
The present disclosure relates to a kit for cleaning biological fluids from a surface. The kit comprises at least one protective article of clothing, absorbent powder, a trash bag, surface sanitizer, an absorbent towel, a scraper, a handle, and a dustpan. The dustpan is configured to be securely coupled to the handle. The dustpan has a lid and a base and can alternate between an open position and a self-sealing closed position. In the closed position the base and lid define an interior volume having a height along a y-axis, a width along an x-axis, and a depth along a z-axis. An adhesive strip is coupled to a lip of the dustpan and is configured to interact with a surface and temporarily engage the dustpan with the surface. The absorbent powder is a mixture of a super absorbent polymer and perlite.
Method of unclogging ducts in parts obtained by additive manufacturing
A method of unclogging ducts in a part made by additive manufacturing, the ducts running from at least one well that opens out into the surface of the part, the method comprising the steps of: fabricating a guide with a body that is designed to fit in the well, the guide having internal channels that extend from a base of the guide that is accessible by a user to an outside wall of the body; cleaning the well and inserting the body of the guide in the well so that channels in the guide open out in register with inlets of ducts that are to be unclogged; and inserting a thin flexible tool, e.g. a metal cable, through the base of the guide into at least one channel therein and causing the tool to penetrate into the duct in register in the part so as to unclog it.
Vacuum-assisted popcorn ceiling scraper
A popcorn ceiling scraper includes a scraping head with multiple blades, at least one of which is oriented horizontally in the same plane as the scraping head with other blades extending vertically from the scraping head. The ceiling scraper has a funnel arranged below the scraping head, and the funnel and the scraping head are formed to reach to an edge or juncture between a ceiling and a wall.
TOILET SEAT CLEANING DEVICE
A toilet seat cleaning device removably connected to at least a portion of a toilet, the toilet seat cleaning device including a plurality of seat cleaning units removably connected to at least a portion of a seat of the toilet to cleanse the seat using a liquid in response to each of the plurality of seat cleaning units moving from a rear portion of the seat in a first position to at least partially toward a front portion of the seat in a second position, a liquid storing container connected to the plurality of seat cleaning units to store the liquid therein, and a sensor connected to the plurality of seat cleaning units to send a command to the plurality of seat cleaning units to move the plurality of seat cleaning units in response to a departure of a user from the seat.
Optical window cleaning device, optical window cleaning method and underwater optical device
Disclosed is an optical window cleaning device, including: a cleaning brush; and a wiper arm. The wiper arm includes a first link, a torsion mechanism, a second link and a wiper arm drive system. A second end of the first link is hinged to a first end of the second link. The cleaning brush is hinged to a first end of the first link, a rotation trajectory of the cleaning brush and a rotation trajectory of a hinge joint between the second end of the first link and the first end of the second link are both located in a first plane. A rotation trajectory of the second link and the rotation trajectory of the hinge joint are located in the first plane. The torsion mechanism provides the first link and the second link with a force that rotates the first link relative to the second link.
Cleaning Device
A cleaning device for cleaning inner surfaces of an object such as a bottle or vase. A device includes a shaft, a slidably coupled runner, a hub, arms pivotally coupled to the hub, stretchers, cleaning heads attached to the tips of the arms, and arm rod coupled to the runner. The arms can include wiping material along their length. When retracted, the device can be inserted into an object. Pushing on the rod leads to extension of the arms. The extended arms can be held in place by a securing means such as a set screw. The device can then be moved rotationally, translationally or both relative to the object. The securing means can then be released, and the arms can be retracted by pulling the rod. The device can be removed from the object, and the cleaning heads can be removed.
