Gun barrel and tube cleaning device

摘要

A gun barrel cleaning device comprises a weight, a cord, a boreguide sleeve, a sheath, a brush, a cleaning element, and a lubrication element. The weight provides a mass that helps to insert the device into the barrel of a gun. The weight may be coupled to the high tensile strength cord, which in turn may be coupled to the tubular sheath. The boreguide sleeve may cover the sheath where it is coupled to the cord to smooth the transition from the cord to the sheath. The brush may be connected to the cord and encased by the sheath. The cleaning element, also encased by the sheath, may remove dirt from the gun barrel. The lubrication element, coupled to the sheath, may deposit lubrication in the gun barrel. The gun barrel may be cleaned and lubricated by pulling the device through the barrel.

主权项

1. A gun barrel cleaning device for cleaning and lubricating an inner surface of a gun barrel, the cleaning device comprising:
a tubular sheath including a leading end, a trailing end, and a wall; a flexible cord for pulling the cleaning device through the gun barrel, the cord coupled to the leading end of the sheath; a boreguide sleeve for easing the entry of the sheath into the gun barrel, the sleeve including a leading end coupled to the cord and a trailing end coupled to the sheath; and a lubrication element for depositing a lubricant along the inner surface of the gun barrel, the lubrication element including a first end and a second end and oriented such that the lubrication element is folded upon itself to form an uncovered open loop and the first end and the second end are connected to the trailing end of the sheath, the lubrication element further including a width and a thickness, wherein the width is greater than the thickness so as to aid in the absorption of the lubricant for subsequent depositing along the inner surface of the gun barrel.
