Gun bore cleaning device

摘要

A device for cleaning a bore of a firearm. One or more bore-cleaning bodies may include a core and a fabric cover, and a central member used to compress the core longitudinally and expand it radially to apply radial force pressing the fabric cover against the interior bore surface. A small-bore version may include flexible portions to be able to negotiate a breech mechanism of a repeating small arm.

主权项

1. A bore-cleaning device comprising:
(a) an elongate bore-cleaning body having a leading first end and including a generally cylindrical core having a pair of opposite ends; (b) an internal tensioning member extending longitudinally through said generally cylindrical core of said bore-cleaning body; (c) a pair of end members, each of said end members being outwardly adjacent a respective one of the opposite ends of the core and interconnected with the internal tensioning member so as to be capable of applying a selected amount of pressure longitudinally to the generally cylindrical core, so as to compress the core in a longitudinal direction and thereby cause the core to expand radially; (d) a cover of flexible material surrounding the core and having an outer wiping surface; and (e) a connector interconnected with the bore-cleaning body at said first end thereof and arranged to receive a tension-bearing member useful for pulling said bore-cleaning device through a bore.
