Abstract

1,070,560. Flushing guns. RIGBY-BARRAS INTERNATIONAL Ltd. July 9. 1965 [Dec. 11, 1964]; No. 50643/64. Heading F2N. A compressed air-operated flushing gun for cleaning pipes comprises a cylinder 1, a manuually-operated pump 4 and/or a non-return valve 11, Fig. 2 (not shown), for connection to a compressed air line or foot pump, an air-release valve 13, which is actuated by a spring-loaded rod 14 fitted with a trigger 15, controlling an outlet from said cylinder, and an adapter 12 incorporating a non-return valve 18 for connection to a water supply. The cylinder is pressurized by the pump or through the valve 11 to any suitable pressure, which pressure is indicated by a gauge 10, and the adapter connected to the pipe to be cleaned or flushed. Said pipe is filled with water through the one-way ball valve 18. The trigger 15, pivoted to the handle 17, is then squeezed to open the air-release valve thereby releasing the compressed air and sending a pressure pulse through the pipe.
