Abstract

A magnet fixing device in a cleaning tool ( 1 ) for use in a borehole where the cleaning tool ( 1 ) is externally provided with at least one projection ( 8 ) and at least two recesses ( 6 ) and where at least one magnet ( 12 ) is disposed in the projection ( 8 ), as the magnetic field from the at least one magnet ( 12 ) is active in that it is arranged to at least attract a magnet sensitive material ( 20 ) into a recess ( 6 ) or hold the material ( 20 ) in the recess ( 6 ), and where the magnet ( 12 ) runs through the projection ( 8 ), whereby the one magnet ( 12 ) pole is active in a first recess ( 6 ) while the other magnet ( 12 ) pole is active in a second recess ( 6 ).

Claims (7)

1. A magnet fixing device in a cleaning tool for use in a borehole wherein the cleaning tool is externally provided with at least one projection and at least two recesses and where at least one magnet is disposed in the projection, as the magnetic field from the at least one magnet is active being arranged to at least attract a magnet sensitive material into a recess or hold the material in the recess, characterised in that the magnet runs completely or partly through the projection, whereby the one magnet pole is active in a first recess while the other magnet pole is active in a second recess.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the projection comprises a through bore.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the bore is provided with a shoulder for positioning of the magnet in the bore.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the bore is tangential relative to the cleaning tool cross-section.

5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the bore is inclined relative to the cleaning tool cross-section.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the bores along the projection, if they are inclined, are drilled alternatingly from the two sides of the projection.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the cleaning tool projections is magnet free.
