Abstract

Jet Plunger, a DIY rooter, powered by high water pressure using sweeper nozzle to clear out clogged bathroom sink, toilet bowl, bathtub, shower stall, kitchen sink, and outdoor drains.
Sweeper nozzle (FIG. 2)
Let V1=velocity at conical section area A1 and diameter D1, V2+velocity at conical section area A2 and diameter D2. According to fluid mechanics A1×V1=A2×V2, (D1/2)×V2
V2=(D1/D2)×V1 The sweeper nozzle 1 choice D1= 10/16″, D2= 3/16″ V2=(10/3)×V1
V2=11.11×V1, Therefore the water velocity at its outlet is much greater then at its inlet.
A cut of 15/16″ garden hose is slid into the sweeper nozzle and glued with the rubber cup. This tube is not required if a sweeper nozzle is mould with a rubber cup.

Description

  • Rubber cup (FIG. 1) a ½″ diameter of hole is punched at the center of the cup.
  • Sweeper nozzle (FIG. 2, FIG. 4—20) made of aluminum, water presser of 80 PSI maximum.
  • Sweeper nozzle supporter (FIG. 4—21) 15/16″ cut from garden hose.
  • Garden hose (FIG. 4—30) ¾″ inner diameter, or pocket garden expandable hose internal tube 7/16″outer diameter:
  • Faucet adapter (FIG. 4—40) 15/16″—27 male X ¾″ male hose.
  • Note: This substitute specification contains no new matter because a pocket garden expandable hose just contains a soft tube and it is easy to handle.
  • Rubber cup (FIG. 1) a ½″ diameter of hole is punched at the center of the cup.
  • Sweeper nozzle (FIG. 2, FIG. 4—20) made of aluminum, water presser of 80 PSI maximum.
  • Sweeper nozzle supporter (FIG. 4—21) 15/16″ cut from garden hose.
  • Garden hose (FIG. 4—30) ¾″ inner diameter, or pocket garden expandable hose internal tube 7/16″ outer diameter.
  • Faucet adapter (FIG. 4—40) 15/16″—27 male ¾″ male hose.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Each time my bathroom sink or toilet bowl clogged, I have tried to use the traditional plunger but is failed most of time because of weak rubber cup and limit of human power. Then I came up with this idea using high water pressure generated by a sweeper nozzle.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
  • FIG. 1 Traditional plunger.
  • A wooden pole is pulled out from the plunger. A rubber cup is used for the new plunger.
  • FIG. 2 Sweeper nozzle
  • As stated above a sweeper nozzle has multiple water pressure can replace human power.
  • FIG. 3 Pop-up stopper
  • It helps the user how to remove and reinstall the stopper. Please see instructions bellow.
  • FIG. 4 Jet plunger
    •
  • This diagram shows how a Jet Plunger is connected. First, you are asked to remove the existing aerator temporarily and replace it with a faucet adapter (40). A garden hose is connected between the adapter (40) and a sweeper nozzle (20)
  • A sweeper nozzle and a sweeper nozzle supporter (21) are glued with a rubber cup (10). This supporter is not required when a rubber cup is mould with a sweeper nozzle.
    • INSTRUCTIONS
  • Step 1 is not required if using an outdoor faucet.
  • 1. Remove the aerator from the faucet.
  • 2. Connect the female end of the hose to the faucet or faucet adapter.
  • 3. Connect the male end of the hose to the sweeper nozzle.
  • 4. Remove any drain basket or stopper cap from the clogged sink.
  • 5. Place and hold the Jet Plunger cup over the drain.
  • 6. Turn on the cold water and check for leaks. If no leaks, turn water and increase the volume gradually.
  • 7. Turn off water. Remove the Jet plunger cup and check if clog has been cleared.
  • 8. Repeat steps 5-7 until clog clears.
  • If you need a deeper clean of your bathroom sink unscrew (off) the pivot nut (FIG. 3—1) and pull off the pivot rod (FIG. 3—2) out enough to remove the pop-up stopper (FIG. 3—3) temporarily. Screw back (on) the pivot nut. After clear clog reinstall the pop-up stopper.
