A hand held tool enabling a user to remove hair from a bar of soap, by providing a row of tines attached to one end of a handle, oriented perpendicular and pointed down at an obtuse angle to that handle, for optimal dragging along the surface of a bar of soap, in order to collect and remove unwanted hair in an efficient, safe, and resourceful manner, as a means to encourage social common courtesy and improve basic hygiene practices.

A peritoneal dialysis (PD) system includes a housing, a PD fluid pump housed by the housing, and a reusable line in fluid communication with the PD fluid pump. The reusable line is configured to be pulled into the housing. The PD system also includes an external tubing surface cleaning unit positioned and arranged to at least one of (i) remove debris from at least a portion of the exterior of the reusable line as it is pulled into the housing, or (ii) apply disinfectant to at least the portion of the exterior of the reusable line as it is pulled into the housing.

A means of integrating the materials and automating the actions required for the cleaning of optical fiber, where the present invention can hold cleaning material, dispense cleaning agent, and clean multiple fibers, while routing conduits and cleaning pads protect the optical fiber from mechanical stress.

A multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine is provided, including a cleaning chamber, a drive apparatus, and a rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism is arranged in an inner cavity of the cleaning chamber and is in transmission connection with the drive apparatus. At least one or more groups of rotation mechanism is arranged. The inner wall of the cleaning chamber is provided with a scraping mechanism that enhances a squeezing and frictional cleaning effect on a to-be-cleaned material.

A machine for the removal of waste from work benches includes plates arranged in a grid, where the machine includes a main body equipped with at least one channel suitable for riding over at least one plate of the grid and for sliding with respect to it in an advancing direction coinciding with the longitudinal development direction. The channel includes a top delimitation, a pair of lateral delimitations, and a downward-facing inlet opening. The lateral delimitations of the channel are defined by respective rotary tools where the top delimitation includes at least one rolling surface capable of rolling in the advancing direction so as to advance on the top edge. The tools have rotation axes inclined with respect to the advancing direction and rotate so as to pull down the rolling surface when they act on the flanks of the plate inserted in the channel.

An auto-retract scraper is described herein. The auto-retract scrape comprises a housing, a slider, a blade, a rotating hard stop, and a torsion spring. The rotating hard stop is rotated clockwise forcing the blade forward and out of the housing when the slider is engaged.

An automatic removal system for automatically removing a tape and a resin exposed to the outside of a battery module includes a removal assembly including a removal device for removing the tape and the resin, and an automatic multi-axis robot coupled to the removal assembly and configured to drive to remove the tape and the resin of the battery module.

A method of cleaning wafer-cleaning brushes includes passing a wafer having a first polished main side and an opposing unpolished backside between a pair of substantially cylindrical shaped wafer-cleaning brushes are rotated about an axial direction of the brushes while passing the wafer between the pair of wafer-cleaning brushes. A cleaning solution is applied to the brushes while passing the wafer between the pair of wafer-cleaning brushes. While passing between the pair of brushes, the first polished main side of the wafer faces a first direction, the first direction is an opposite direction to which a polished side of a production wafer faces during a subsequent polished wafer cleaning operation. The substantially cylindrical shaped wafer-cleaning brushes include a plurality of protrusions on an external surface of the brushes, and the brushes contact the wafer at least a portion of time the wafer is passing between the pair of brushes.

A method and corresponding control system for operating a tracker mechanism that supports a solar collector so as to enhance the effectiveness of wind-displaced cleaning elements on the solar collector surface. A controller (16) receives information indicative of current wind conditions, determines a cleaning orientation of the solar collector (10) that will enhance cleaning of the collector surface by the wind-displaced cleaning element (100) under the current wind conditions, and actuates at least one actuator (12) to bring the solar collector to the cleaning orientation. Also provided is a cleaning system for solar collectors which provides advantageous mechanical properties in the mounting of wind-displaceable cleaning elements to minimize localized stress at the attachment points which might lead to tearing and which facilitates replacement of the cleaning elements.

The invention relates to a cleaning device for a yarn forming element of an air-spinning nozzle, to a spinning position of an air-spinning machine and to a method for cleaning a yarn forming element of this type. In order to provide a spinning position of an air-spinning machine and a method for cleaning a yarn forming element of an air-spinning machine which allow long and trouble-free operation with constant quality and strength of the yarn produced, it is provided that the cleaning device has a cleaning strip and a storage unit for providing and retracting the cleaning strip, a fixed end of the cleaning strip being fastened to the storage unit, and a free end of the cleaning strip being able to be provided for cleaning and retracted again after the cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaning device has a cleaning strip guide for feeding the free end of the cleaning strip to the yarn forming element of the air-spinning nozzle for mechanical cleaning.
