There is provided an applicator device (1) for applying a composition to an end of a pipe. The applicator device comprises an applicator head (3), the applicator head having a cavity (9) with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted. The applicator head comprises at least one brush (10) and at least one aperture (12) for delivering the composition into the cavity, each brush having bristles which extend into the cavity (9) to wipe against the end of the pipe, each aperture being closer to the opening of the cavity than to a base of the cavity. There is further provided an applicator device (1) comprising a supplementary brush for wiping the composition over an internal surface of the pipe, a container (60) of flux composition for connecting to the applicator device, and a method of applying a composition to an end of a pipe.

An endoscope-cleaning device ensures effective cleaning of an endoscope. The endoscope-cleaning device includes a long flexible core member inserted into a twisted tubular body including a weft yarn including a microfiber yarn, wherein the microfiber yarn is made of polyester and the tubular body is twisted at 5 twists/5 cm to 15 twists/5 cm.

An apparatus and method for using an endoscope pre-cleaning and cleaning device. The device includes an elongated and flexible substrate and an abrasive element running along the length of the substrate. The abrasive element extends in an outward direction from the substrate and can have bristles in a continuous line along the substrate. The bristles can be various lengths, thicknesses, materials, and grouped in various densities along the substrate.

Modular and flexible interchangeable brush system to scrub a container. The brush system includes a handle having a first core and a second core. A sleeve is provided into which the first core and the second core are disposed. A flexible stem is removably connected to the first core of the handle. The flexible stem has at least one gap into which a resilient material is disposed. The location of the gap is at a bend location along a longitudinal axis of the handle. A first brush is operatively connected to the flexible stem, and a second brush is operatively connected to, and received within, the second core of the handle.

The invention relates to a personal, reusable straw and a case comprising a holder for the straw, where the case comprises elements to flush, wash, clean, sanitize, and/or dry the straw in the holder. A pump may pump fluid from a fluid reservoir to lead fluid into and/or around the straw. A fan may blow air to the straw for drying the outside and/or inside of the straw. A heating element may dry the straw. A UV or other light source may provide light which is directed to sanitize the outer and inner surfaces of the straw. A controller in the case may control these elements. The controller may include a wireless transceiver for communication with a mobile application to enable a user to control the elements manually and/or via a program.

Method of cleaning sucker rods using a portable cleaning tool containing a rotating brush assembly to remove scale and corrosion residue on the sucker rods is described herein. The brush is annular with an empty or hollow center, such that the rod can penetrate through the hole in the brush. The tool is powered by air compression, and also contains a mechanism of removing the collected debris for disposal. The cleaning tool assembly could be either a standalone device on site placed on a mounted rack, or could be attached to the rod to be cleaned.

A cleaning device for cleaning a dispensing nozzle assembly of a beverage dispenser is disclosed. The dispensing nozzle assembly may include a macro-ingredient/diluent outlet and a number of micro-ingredient outlets surrounding the macro-ingredient/diluent outlet. The cleaning device may include a handle, a head end rotatably attached to the handle, a guidance protrusion extending from the head end, a first set of bristles extending from the head end and surrounding the guidance protrusion, and a second set of bristles extending from the head end adjacent to the first set of bristles.

There is provided a cleaning tool configured for cleaning an aerosol-generating device including a heating chamber and a heating element disposed in the heating chamber, the cleaning tool including: multiple prongs configured to be inserted into the heating chamber of the aerosol-generating device and to clean at least the heating element; and an actuating element configured to move the multiple prongs between a first position and a second position, wherein the multiple prongs are expanded towards inner sidewalls of the heating chamber in the first position and contracted towards the heating element in the second position.
