ABSTRACT:
A chimney cleaner is designed to be permanently installed in a chimney and is secured to a topmost portion of the chimney through the use of an adjustable mounting assembly. The chimney cleaner is primarily designed for removing creosote and the mounting assembly for the cleaner includes a small pulley fastened to a carrying bar, such carrying bar being positioned over the topmost portion of the chimney through the use of upstanding support arms with the pulley serving to retain a chain or other flexible pulling means on which a creosote cutter may be hung. The cutter is provided with at least one serrated edge to facilitate the creosote removing operation, and a second chain may be hung from the bottommost portion of the cutter to permit a dislodging of the cutter in the event that it becomes jammed within the chimney. In one embodiment, the chimney cleaner may be operated from outside of the chimney, while in a second embodiment, an operating chain is provided within the chimney. With respect to the second embodiment, a second mounting assembly is provided for use with the first mounting assembly and includes a pair of guide eyes through which the operating chain may be directed, and the use of an eyebolt permanently attached to several pieces of angle iron, such eyebolt being extensible in length so as to wedge the angle iron firmly in position within the cleanout compartment of the chimney.
