An article of manufacture for providing motorized drain cleaning and clearing is disclosed. The motorized drain cleaner includes a three ring aluminum frame surrounding a rotating drum containing a drain snake drum, the rotating drain snake drum being coupled to a multi-directional motor, an outside frame coupled to a pair of pivoting wheels at its base, the outside frame having a plurality of frame support arms connecting a handle to a base about the pair of wheels and a control panel between the plurality of frame support arms about the handle, a pair of pivot support arms coupled between the three ring aluminum frame and the plurality of frame support arms of the outside frame permitting the three ring aluminum frame and the drain snake drum contained therein to pivot upward and downward about the pivot support arms, the drain snake drum coupled to a feed neck that is connected to a drain snake outlet coupled to the three ring frame supporting the drain snake outlet about a center of rotation of the rotating snake drum, and a drain snake cable having a cutting tool coupled to an outward end and being coupled to the drain snake drum such that rotation of the drain snake drum within the three ring frame causes the drain snake cable to rotate accordingly, the drain snake cable arranged to pass through the drain snake outlet as the drain snake cable exits the drain snake drum.

A tool that removes a scale inside a pipe includes: a laser tool including a laser head to output a laser beam, and a robotic arm that is articulated and that is connected to the laser head. The robotic arm includes segments that are connected by flexible robotic arm joints to enable movement of the laser head in six degrees of freedom, and a control system to control the robotic arm to direct output of the laser beam. The tool also includes a drilling shaft attached to the robotic arm of the laser tool.

A drain cleaner includes a shroud with a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end and a drum assembly positioned within the shroud. The drum assembly is rotatable relative to the shroud. The drum assembly includes an inner drum and a drum cover extending entirely over an open forward end of the inner drum. The drain cleaner also includes a flexible cable stored within a cavity defined by the inner drum and the drum cover of the drum assembly. The flexible cable is supported by the inner drum. The drain cleaner further includes a handle assembly coupled to and extending rearwardly from the shroud. The handle assembly includes a motor, a grip, and an actuator to selectively energize the motor. The actuator is positioned in an area defined between the grip and the shroud.

A pipe cleaning machine includes: a handle for holding; a drum connected to the handle and rotatable with respect to the handle; a cable disposed in the drum; an electric motor driving the cable to rotate and including an electric motor shaft extending along a first axis; and a cable feeding assembly for feeding the cable. The drum includes an exposed portion, where the ratio of the surface area of the exposed portion to the total surface area of the drum is greater than or equal to 40% and less than or equal to 100%.

A surgical tool, systems, and method for cleaning an anatomical space is provided. At least one brush is disposed on a shaft extending through a tube. The tube includes a corresponding brush slot for each brush. A motor is operable to rotate the shaft to cause the at least one brush to move from a closed position to a cleaning position. The at least one brush is positioned entirely inside of the tube when in the closed position and at least partially outside of the tube when in the cleaning position. A fluid source is operable to supply fluid to the at least one brush as the at least one brush passes through the brush slot.
