Abstract
A burr removal tool for preparing a pipe for soldering includes a cylinder that has a pair of wells each recessed into opposing ends of the cylinder for insertably receiving an end of a pipe. The cylinder has a plurality of first bristles each disposed within a respective one of the wells. The plurality of first bristles in a respective one of the wells scrubs the pipe when the pipe is inserted into the respective well for abrading burrs from the pipe. A pair of brushes is each coupled to and extends away from the cylinder thereby facilitating a respective one of the brushes to be inserted into the pipe for scrubbing inside of the pipe. Additionally, each of the brushes is perpendicularly oriented with the pair of wells in the cylinder.
Claims7
A burr removal tool for removing burrs from an outer surface or an inner surface of a pipe, said tool comprising:
- a cylinder having a pair of wells each being recessed into opposing ends of said cylinder for insertably receiving an end of a pipe, said cylinder having a plurality of first bristles each being disposed within a respective one of said wells, said plurality of first bristles in a respective one of said wells scrubbing the pipe when the pipe is inserted into said respective well for abrading burrs from the pipe;
- and
- a pair of brushes, each of said brushes being coupled to and extending away from said cylinder thereby facilitating a respective one of said brushes to be inserted into the pipe for scrubbing inside of the pipe, each of said brushes being perpendicularly oriented with said pair of wells in said cylinder.
A burr removal tool for removing burrs from an outer surface or an inner surface of a pipe, said tool comprising:
- a cylinder having a pair of wells each being recessed into opposing ends of said cylinder for insertably receiving an end of a pipe, said cylinder having a plurality of first bristles each being disposed within a respective one of said wells, said plurality of first bristles in a respective one of said wells scrubbing the pipe when the pipe is inserted into said respective well for abrading burrs from the pipe, each of said wells being recessed into a respective one of a first end or a second end of said cylinder, said well in said first end having a diameter being greater than a diameter of said well in said second end thereby facilitating said well in each of said first end and said second end to accommodate pipes of varying diameters, each of said wells having a bounding surface, each of said first bristles extending away from said bounding surface of said respective well thereby facilitating said first bristles to abrade an outer surface of the pipe when the pipe is inserted into said respective well, said first bristles being distributed around a full circumference of said respective well and along a full depth of said respective well;
- a cushion being wrapped around said cylinder thereby facilitating said cushion to be gripped for manipulating said cylinder, said cushion being comprised of a resiliently compressible material thereby facilitating said cushion to enhance comfort for gripping said cushion, said cushion extending substantially between said first end and said second end of said cylinder;
- and
- a pair of brushes, each of said brushes being coupled to and extending away from said cylinder thereby facilitating a respective one of said brushes to be inserted into the pipe for scrubbing inside of the pipe, each of said brushes being perpendicularly oriented with said pair of wells in said cylinder, each of said brushes comprising:
- a stem being coupled to and extending away from an outer wall of said cylinder, said stem extending through said cushion, said stem associated with each of said brushes being spaced apart from a center of said outer wall of said cylinder, said stem having a distal end with respect to said outer wall;
- and
- a plurality of second bristles, each of said second bristles being coupled to an extending outwardly from said stem thereby facilitating said second bristles to abrade an inside surface of the pipe when said respective brush is inserted into the pipe, said plurality of second bristles being distributed around a full circumference of said stem, said plurality of second bristles being distributed from said distal end of said stem toward said cylinder, each of said second bristles associated with a first one of said brushes having a length being greater than a length of each of said second bristles being associated with a second one of said brushes thereby facilitating each of said first brush and said second brush to accommodate pipes of varying diameters.
