Portable Apparatus For Rotatively Maintaining A Pumping Conduit On An Incline

U.S. Patent : # 6,443,169 Inventor: Fernando M. Ferreira

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Portable Apparatus For Rotatively Maintaining A Pumping Conduit On An Incline we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The present invention relates generally to pipe-cleaning devices and, more specifically, to a portable apparatus for rotatably maintaining a length of conduit on an incline to facilitate the cleaning of fresh concrete and other material from therewithin. The invention allows an operator to use one hand to easily rotate the conduit resting on roller bearings secured to an inclined platform while the other hand remains free to simultaneously introduce a liquid jet spray therethrough. A rotatable pylon stop is located on the lower bearing side of the platform to prevent the conduit from sliding down the incline while providing minimal resistance to the conduit's rotatability.


Objects of the present invention:

  • to provide a portable apparatus for rotatably maintaining a length of conduit on an incline that is easy and safe to use by providing a stable inclined platform

  • to provide a portable apparatus for maintaining a length of conduit on an incline having a platform comprising two sections that are connected by a hinge to permit the platform to fold in half for practical transport and storage

  • to provide a portable apparatus for rotatably maintaining a length of conduit on an incline having a motor with a drive mechanism to rotate the conduit rather than having the operator turn it manually


Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.
