Power tool adapter for a drain cleaning device

A power tool adapter system for a drain cleaning device, the power tool adapter system comprising:

• an adapter body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion of the adapter body being oppositely disposed relative to the distal end portion of the adapter body, the proximal end portion of the adapter body comprises a shank section for being inserted into a recess of a powered rotary motion input device, the shank section having a generally hexagonal cross-sectional shape;
• a manual handle having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion of the manual handle being oppositely disposed relative to the distal end portion of the manual handle;
• wherein the distal end portion of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to a proximal end portion of a drain cleaning device, the drain cleaning device having a plurality of protruding elements disposed thereon, the plurality of protruding elements configured to grab and collect debris from a drain pipe;
• wherein the shank section of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to the powered rotary motion input device that is sufficient to rotate the plurality of protruding elements of the drain cleaning device about a rotational axis so as to grab and collect the debris from the drain pipe;
• and
• wherein the distal end portion of the manual handle is configured to be coupled to the proximal end portion of the drain cleaning device so that the drain cleaning device is able to be rotated by a selected one of the powered rotary motion input device and the manual handle, thereby enabling a user to select either powered or manual rotation of the drain cleaning device.
