A lumen inspection device includes an elongate member and a sealing member at a distal end of the elongate member. The elongate member is inserted into a lumen of a medical instrument. The lumen inspection device is translated along the lumen. The sealing member resiliently bears against a sidewall of the lumen as the lumen inspection device is translated along the lumen of the medical instrument. A pressure source is activated to pressurize a region of the lumen adjacent to the sealing member. A fluid property of the lumen is monitored to detect whether the sealing member deforms in response to an obstruction in the lumen.

A system for use in maintaining a pipe having a sidewall is provided. The system includes a motorized apparatus sized to fit within the pipe and configured to travel along the pipe through an interior cavity. The motorized apparatus includes a plurality of leg assemblies each including a first leg portion, a second leg portion, and a joint rotatably coupling the first leg portion to the second leg portion. A drive mechanism coupled to the joint is configured to interact with the sidewall. The system also includes an actuator assembly configured to independently position each leg assembly relative to a body assembly to adjust a radial position of the joint of the associated leg assembly relative to the body assembly. The system also includes a controller configured to send instructions to the actuator assembly based at least in part on at least one of a dimension of the interior cavity and a desired force on the sidewall.

A cable coupling for use with rotating cables is described. The cable coupling comprises a ferrule, a compression die, an adapter die, and a threaded nut cap. In particular versions, the cable coupling is used with high speed drain cleaning cables.

The present disclosure relates to a system for cleaning a smoking substitute device, and particularly, although not exclusively, to a system comprising a smoking substitute device and a cleaning device, further in particular to a cleaning device. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a smoking substitute device, the cleaning device comprising a first section comprising a generally cylindrical outer surface, wherein at least part of the first section is adapted for insertion into a smoking substitute device consumable receiving cavity of a smoking substitute device, wherein at least part of the outer surface of the first section is adapted for cleaning the cavity, and wherein at least the first section is substantially rigid.

Effluent containment devices are made of flame-resistant material having a Flame Spread Index of greater than zero and less than 30. The material may also have anti-static properties, such as being formed of a dissipative material or one that resists flow electrification.

A motorized apparatus for use in maintaining a pipe includes at least one drive portion including a body assembly, a plurality of leg assemblies coupled circumferentially around the body assembly, a plurality of drive mechanisms coupled to the plurality of leg assemblies, and a drive portion coupling mechanism. The motorized apparatus also includes at least one maintenance portion including a body, at least one maintenance device coupled to the body, and a maintenance portion coupling mechanism configured to engage the drive portion coupling mechanism. The at least one drive portion is releasably coupled to the at least one maintenance portion by engaging the drive portion coupling mechanism with the maintenance portion coupling mechanism. The drive portion coupling mechanism and the maintenance portion coupling mechanism are each configured to engage another coupling mechanism when the drive portion coupling mechanism and the maintenance portion coupling mechanism are uncoupled from each other.

A saxophone cleaning tool is revealed. The saxophone cleaning tool includes a cleaner provided with a cleaning surface for cleaning an inner surface of a tube, a first pull body having one end connected with a first connection portion of the cleaner and the other end placed into the tube through a tube opening and descending into a curved portion, and a second pull body having one end connected with a second connection portion of the cleaner and the other end placed into the tube through a bell opening and descending into the curved portion. A free end of both the first and second pull bodies is provided with an assembly portion and a magnetic member. Thereby the cleaning tool is passed through the tube easily with the two free ends connected to form a loop which is pulled continuously for fast and cyclic cleaning of the saxophone.

A tool for opening or removing a blockage from a drain is shown. In one embodiment, the drain cleaning tool includes a drum, a spinning handle, a support handle, a cable, and a cable lock assembly. The spinning handle is coupled to the drum and rotatable to coil the cable after use of the drain cleaning tool. The support handle is positioned between the drum and a tip of the drain cleaning tool. In another embodiment, the drain cleaning tool includes a tip portion, a body, a handle, and a cable. The drain cleaning tool further includes a flexible portion of the cable and retention mechanism such that the drain cleaning tool can be folded.

The disclosure provides a cleaning brush configured to clean a working channel of the endoscope. The cleaning brush comprises a first joint, a second joint and a plurality of cleaning units, the plurality of cleaning units are sequentially connected, each cleaning unit comprises a cleaning portion configured to be in contact with the working channel of the endoscope, and the hardness of the cleaning portions of at least two cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units is different. The first joint and the second joint are respectively connected with two outermost cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units, and the first joint and the second joint are configured to be connected to make a ring-shaped cleaning brush. The cleaning brush is efficient in removing bioburden from the working channel of an endoscope.

A pyrolysis vapour condenser system (1) and a method for condensing pyrolysis vapour, the pyrolysis vapour condensing system comprising a condenser vessel (2), comprising a vapour inlet (3), and a cleaning device (9) for removing deposits from the vapour inlet (3). The cleaning device (9) is moveable between a cleaning position, in which it is disposed at least partially in the vapour inlet (3) for cleaning it, and a retracted position, in which the cleaning device (9) is retracted away from the vapour inlet (3) towards the condenser vessel (2).
