Patent ID: 8065754

Claim:
A pole plunger, comprising: a main shaft having opposed upper and lower ends and extending in a longitudinal direction, said main shaft having an upper portion and a lower portion; an upper disc mounted on said upper end of said main shaft, said upper disc having an upper radius associated therewith, said upper disc defining an upper plane, said upper plane being substantially orthogonal to said longitudinal direction; a lower disc mounted on said lower end of said main shaft, said lower disc having a lower radius associated therewith, said lower disc defining a lower plane, said lower plane being substantially orthogonal to said longitudinal direction, said lower radius being greater than said upper radius, whereby a user may selectively match said upper radius or said lower radius to a radius of a drain pipe to be plunged with said pole plunger, the user inserting the selected one of said upper or lower discs into said drain pipe; a handle portion having opposed proximal and distal ends, said distal end being releasably mounted to said main shaft, said handle portion extending in a lateral direction substantially orthogonal to said longitudinal direction, a handle disc mounted on said proximal end of said handle portion, said handle disc having a handle radius associated therewith, said handle disc defining a handle plane, said handle plane being substantially orthogonal to said lateral direction; and, a connector, said connector having a substantially tubular contour and extending in said longitudinal direction, said connector having an upper opening, a lower opening and a side opening formed through a side wall thereof, a distal end of said upper portion being releasably received within said upper opening, a distal end of said lower portion being releasably received within said lower opening, said distal end of said handle portion being releasably received within said side opening, wherein the user may selectively interchange the positions of said upper portion, said lower portion and said handle portion with respect to said upper, lower and side openings of said connector.
