A handle for use with a firearm cleaning rod may include an ergonomic handle. The ergonomic handle comprises a core having a top end, a grip, and a base; a bolster disposed on the top end provides an additional point for a user to apply force to the cleaning rod when cleaning a firearm. Below the bolster is the grip, which consists of a palm-engaging section and a finger-engaging section, where an inward curvature exists on the palm-engaging surface below the bolster; both sections may be covered with a textured overall for improved gripping by a user. Within the base is a housing that contains a connector for the purpose of securely connecting a cleaning rod to the ergonomic handle. The cleaning rod may include an accessory end for connecting firearm barrel cleaning accessories.

A cleaning device includes a handle having a longitudinal axis and a wiper connected to the handle. The wiper includes a plurality of ridges arranged along the longitudinal axis to form a hollow member. The plurality of ridges have a plurality of contact surfaces for contacting a surface to be cleaned.

A well cleaning tool includes an elongate body having a longitudinal axis, a central fluid bore aligned with the longitudinal axis and a cleaning element mounted on the elongate body and being displaceable with respect to the elongate body in a direction inclined to the longitudinal axis. The cleaning element comprises at least one fluid channel in fluid communication with the central fluid bore and extending through the cleaning element in a direction inclined to the longitudinal axis.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and assembly each adapted for enabling an imaging element cleaning apparatus to be placed through an abdominal wall of the patient without the use of a trocar or cannula. By eliminating the need for and use of a cannular or trocar, such embodiments advantageously overcome dimensional compatibility issues exhibited between the inside diameter of the central passage of commercially-available trocars and cannulas and the outside diameter of the sheath of an imaging element cleaning apparatus comprising such a sheath. Such dimensional compatibility issues are overcome by enabling an imaging element cleaning apparatus of the present disclosures to be placed through the abdominal wall of a patient without the use of a trocar or cannula. As a result, the sheath of the aforementioned imaging element cleaning apparatus can be in direct contact with the abdominal wall tissue.

A cleaning pig assembly is provided for use on a tubular drag conveyor. The assembly is quickly and easily mounted anywhere along the cable, chain, or rope via slots in the assembly components. The components include a puck, a plate, a drag disc, and a cleaning member or tool sandwiched between the puck and the plate. The drag disc provides interference fit on the cable, chain, or rope holding the assembly on the cable, chain, or rope and prevents sliding of the assembly along the cable, chain, or rope during use. The cleaning assembly is installed without the use of tools or clamps. Multiple interchangeable cleaning members are provided depending on cleaning needs.

Devices and methods for cleaning and/or drying endoscopic instruments, such as endoscopes, are provided. A drying device for use with an endoscopic instrument comprises an elongate member configured for advancement through an internal lumen within the endoscopic instrument and a drying member removably coupled to a portion of the elongate member. The drying element comprises a variable pressure region shaped and configured to increase the hydrodynamic fluid friction force and fluid pressure force applied to the wall of the internal lumen of the endoscope to more effectively remove all of the moisture and fluid from the internal surfaces of an endoscopic instrument.

Provided is a wellbore scraper assembly for use with a wireline. The wellbore scraper assembly, in one example, includes a tubular housing, a plurality of hydraulically deployable scraper features associated with the tubular housing, the plurality of hydraulically deployable scraper features configured to move from a first retracted state to a second radially extended state, and a hydraulic deployment system coupled to the plurality of hydraulically deployable scraper features, the hydraulic deployment system configured to move the plurality of hydraulically deployable scraper features from the first state to the second state.

A system to clean well casing in a downhole well operation. The system comprises an inner collar having flow ports and an out collar having jet ports in fluid communication with the flow ports. The inner collar couples with a section of a tool string and the outer collar rotates about the inner collar in response to fluid flow through the tool string. The inner collar can include a sleeve. The sleeve can be moved from a first position to a second position causing the jet ports to be in fluid communication with the flow ports. The inner collar remains relatively stationary with respect to the rotation of the outer collar. In addition, the jet ports are angled in a way that a portion of force generated by the fluid flow through the jet ports induce rotation of the outer collar in the opposite direction of the fluid flow.

A well cleaning tool (100) comprising: an elongate body (102) having a longitudinal axis; a central fluid bore (120) aligned with the longitudinal axis; and a cleaning element (110) mounted on the elongate body (102) and being displaceable with respect to the elongate body (102) in a direction inclined to the longitudinal axis, wherein the cleaning element (102) comprises at least one fluid channel (150) in fluid communication with the central fluid bore (120) and extending through the cleaning element (110) in a direction inclined to the longitudinal axis.
