FILAMENTOUS ABRASIVE CREVICE CLEANER

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a fibrillous abrasive crevice cleaner (FACC). In an illustrative example, a fibrillous abrasive tip may be made of a continuous combination of steel wool and wire. For example, the FACC may include a twisted multistrand handle extending from a distal end to a proximal end along a longitudinal axis. The FACC may include a continuous fibrillous mass fixedly coupled about the distal end of the twisted multistrand handle, such that the fibrillous mass forms a knot distal to the proximal end of the twisted multistrand handle. For example, the FACC may include a proximal end of the fibrillous mass captured between the twisted multistrand handle. The formed knot around the distal end of the twisted multistranded handle and the fibrillous mass being entwined into the handle may, for example, advantageously resist decoupling of the fibrillous mass from the twisted multistrand handle.

A flexible composite torsion shaft for attachment to a drive shaft includes an elongated core element having a circular cross section. A reinforcement comprising at least one polymer layer and multiple layers of reinforcing-fiber wound around the core element inside the at least one polymer layer. Each reinforcing-fiber layer is wound around the core element at a winding angle in a range of 40° to the hoop winding angle, depending on a width of a reinforcing-fiber being wound, relative to a longitudinal direction of the core element. At least one reinforcing-fiber-layer is wound at an opposite angle from another reinforcing-fiber layer inside the at least one polymer layer. The winding angle increases as an average layer diameter of reinforcing-fiber insider the at least one polymer layer increases.
