摘要

A device ( 1 ) for distributing cleaning solvent ( 9 ) in the bore ( 3 ) of a barrel ( 5 ) of a large caliber weapon. The device ( 1 ) comprises an elongated outer casing ( 11 ), a distribution assembly ( 19 ), a container ( 25 ) and a triggering assembly ( 29 ). The distribution assembly ( 19 ) is mounted into a rear end of the casing ( 11 ), and has an inlet ( 21 ) for receiving cleaning solvent ( 9 ) and an outlet ( 23 ) for distributing cleaning solvent. The container ( 25 ) comprises a supply of cleaning solvent ( 9 ), having a valve ( 27 ) connected to the inlet ( 21 ) of the distribution assembly ( 19 ) for supplying solvent ( 9 ) from the container to said distribution assembly ( 19 ). The triggering assembly ( 29 ) is connected to the container's valve ( 27 ) and has a detecting component so as to trigger the valve ( 27 ), supplying the distribution assembly ( 19 ) with cleaning solvent ( 9 ) to be distributed onto the inner surface ( 7 ) of the bore ( 3 ).
