ABSTRACT:
A sweep member is provided defining a pair of generally circular disk-shaped assemblies secured together as a single unit with the assemblies each disposed, generally, in a diametric plane of the other assembly generally normal to the medial plane thereof and with the centers of the assemblies generally coinciding. An elongated flexible tension member is attached at one end to a peripheral portion of one of the disk-shaped assemblies remote from the other assembly and the flexible tension member may be supported at the other end thereof with the remaining portion of the tension member depending downwardly therefrom and suspending the sweep member therebelow. The sweep member may be lowered, by means of the tension member, into the upper end of a chimney passage in which the sweep member is loosely, but snugly, received and moved downwardly through the passage while vertically reciprocating the flexible tension member in order that the sweep member may scrap and rub the side walls of the chimney passage clean of foreign material therein. A plurality of the sweep members may be pivotally joined together in chain fashion and a weight member may be suspended from the lowest sweep member in order to facilitate the cleaning operation.
