Pressure plunger and associated methods

Abstract

A pressure plunger which consists of a hollow lower tube inserted into a clogged toilet or drain causing no significant displacement, of fluid. After the lower tube's compressible end is fixedly attached to a fluid channel, the actuator cylinder may be inserted into the lower tube to create pressure downward and upward to remove blockage. Unlike other designs this plunger consists of two separate sections, each integrally formed, which function together without assembly or disassembly. Vents near the top of the lower tube allow in air to release vacuum pressure when pulling near the top of the lower tube prohibiting fluid being pulled to the top of the lower tube. The lack of assembly and disassembly is also significantly different regarding cleaning and sanitizing. The upper actuator tube can be pulled out and cleaned on the outside and the lower tube can be easily cleaned from either end.

I claim: 
     
         1 . The plunger apparatus comprised of 2 separate sections, the first of which being a lower hollow outer tube chamber, can be placed to make a connection to a clogged fluid channel without displacing any significant amount of fluid and the actuator section which can be placed into the lower outer tube and moved reciprocally to generate pressure to draw and or eject fluid and thus dislodge an obstruction. 
     
     
         2 . The plunger apparatus, the sections of which are neither assembled or disassembled function together and can be easily separated and sanitized. 
     
     
         3 . The plunger apparatus of  claim 1  consisting of 2 separate sections, each including features that are integrally formed into 1 piece. 
     
     
         4 . The plunger apparatus of  claims 1  and  3  wherein the actuator including a cap configured to stop movement of the actuator with respect to the outer tube in a first direction. 
     
     
         5 . The plunger apparatus of  claims 1  and  3  wherein the lower hollow outer tube chamber and the actuator each including a recess facilitating a user to grasp each section during operation. 
     
     
         6 . The plunger apparatus of  claims 1  and  3  including a fitting integrally formed to the hollow outer tube which can compress to make contact with the surface of a fluid channel. 
     
     
         7 . The plunger apparatus of  claims 1  and  3  wherein the outer tube includes a vent allowing air to enter and release vacuum in upward movement nearing the top opening of the lower tube.
