<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for removing deposit in a branch pipe, by which a deposit removed from a branch pipe branched from a main pipe is prevented from being discharged to the main pipe side. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus 10 for removing the deposit in the branch pipe includes a support pipe 11 fixed to the branch pipe 3 branched upward from the main pipe 2 and a drain pipe 12, and a deposit-removing mechanism 14 for removing the deposit A deposited on the inside wall of the branch pipe 3. The end side of the deposit-removing mechanism 14 is provided with a falling object-holding mechanism 20 having a lid member 21 having an expandable diameter for passing through the branch pipe 3 without making a contact with the deposit A in a reduced diameter state and covering an opening portion 2a of the branch pipe 3 of the main pipe 2 in an increased diameter state after passing through the branch pipe to prevent the removed deposit Ar from falling into the main body 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
