Claims20
A multifunction cleaning device for fluid conduits employed to communicate wastewater for treatment, such a sewers and drains comprising:
- a bracket member;
- means for engagement of said bracket member to a distal end of a pole;
- a plurality of prongs engaged at first ends to said bracket member and extending from respective first ends engaged with said bracket member in a direction opposite from said pole, to respective distal ends;
- an innermost pair of said plurality of prongs extending to respective said distal ends a first distance from said bracket member;
- additional said prongs from said plurality of prongs and located on opposing sides of said innermost pair, extending to respective said distal ends;
- a separation distance between said innermost pair, said separation distance being equal to or slightly larger than a pressure hose employed for translation through said fluid conduit for a cleaning thereof;
- said plurality of prongs defining a raking component engageable with solid material within said wastewater flowing through said fluid conduit;
- and
- said innermost pair defining an engagement component removably engageable with an exterior surface of said pressure hose in a frictional engagement between said innermost pair in an as-used urging position of said cleaning device, whereby force imparted to said pole by a user is communicated to said hose to impart a translation to said hose within said fluid conduit.
