PHILIP ERNEST AIRD, OF ST. LOUIS, QUEBEC, CANADA.
GUN-CLEANER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 16,1907.
Application led Novmbel' 8, 1906. Serial No. 342,574.
To all 'whom t 'may concern:
Be it known that l, PHILIP ERNEST Auro, whose residence and post-oliice address is 77 7 Mance street, in the town of St. Louis,.Province 0f Quebec, Canada, and being a subject ol' the King of England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gun- Oleaners, of 'which the following is a i'ull, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and to use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the preferred form of the invention, though it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exact details of construction shown and describedJ as it is obvious that Various inodilications thereof will occur to persons skilled in the art.
This inuention relates to new and useful improvements in gun-cleaners, adapted for use in cleaning the linterior of both military and sporting rifles, shot guns and arms of Various sorts.
The object pf the invention is to provide a device which is simple, convenient and portable and which may be used indiscriminately with arms of various bores.
Figure l is a longitudinal sectional View ot' a gun barrel with my invention in position therein: Fig. 2 shows the device in position, provided with a patch, entering the open mouth of a gun barrel; Fig. 3 is a section ol a gun barrel with a slightly modified form of device therein, with a portion of the patch cut away for purposes of illustration; Fig. 4 isa view similar to Fig. 3, in section, for thc purpose of illustrating the bunching of the patch in the channel formed in the head and above the saine while in use; Fig. 5 illustrates a slightly modified form of device in which a sectional rod is used.
Referring to the parts 1 is a stem, which is preferably slightly attenuated near its lower end, as shown, so as to permit bunching oi the patch as illustrated in Fig. 4. Formed preferably integral with said stem is a head 2 which in Figs. 1 4 is perforated transversely at its lower end for the passage-oi the hook 3 which hook is used for the double purpose of securing the patch lt in position on the head and as a draft appliance to which the cord 5 may be attached for the purpose of drawing the device into a gun-barrel. To the opposite end of this cord 5- may be applied the weight 6- which weight may be used to carry the cord 5 through said barrel to permit-it being grasped by the operator.
Connected to the stem piece 7 and passing through the perforation 8- therein, is a cord 9 on which may be placed a stop 10 which is shownas a rigid perforated bar, and by ,knotting said cord to form an enlargement too great to pass through the perforation in said bar the bar will act as a stop to prevent passage ot' the head 2 into the enlarged cartridge chamber of a barrel at its breech.
In operation the patch 4- is placed on the head 2 surrounding the same; the pointed hook 3 is passed through the patch and the transverse. perforation a `in the head as shown in Figs. 1 4. The weight 6- is then dropped into and through the gun-barrel carrying with it, part way at least, the head 2 patch 4 and stem 1 and attached cord 9. The head may be drawn into the barrel until the stop 10- abuts against the mouth thereof alter which the device may be reciprocated longitudinally within the gun barrel to clean the interior thereof.
When the device is retracted the patch lt will be hunched or puckered into a mass as shown in Fig. 4 with portions thereof resting in and being locked in the annular channel ll surrounding said attenuated stem portion and this bunching will be intensified by the sharp or relatively sharp biting edge l2 surrounding said head channel ll so that no escape of particles of dirt will result when drawing the head toward the mouth oi the barrel.
The perforation a is preierablyextended through a slightly reduced end portion of the head 2 so as to orm a guide or the pin hook 3 and it is evident that there is a great advantage in using a pointed hook as thereby the patch may be secured in position without breaking the threads thereof, consequently it will resist great strain in use, whereas a textile patch which is perforated will quickly be shredded in use.
In Fig. 3 is, illustrated a modification in which serrations or obliquely disposed notches l3 are provided, which notches may be found elicacions in bunching the patch where the device is used to clean the enlarged cartridge chamber of a gun-barrel by rotation of the head 2 therein, as may sometimes be desirable.
In the modication of Fig. 5 a sectional rod l4 is provided of a common type and to this is screwed the stern 1 when desired. The head 2l of Fig. 5 has the channel lland sharp edge l2 surrounding` it as in the other views and this edge may be serrated or not as desired. This type of device is adapted for use by Sportsmen while that' shown in Figs. 1 4 is designed especially for military use.
It is especially desirable that the heads 2 2 shall be elongated so as to orm a solid backing for the cloth patch 4 thereby forming a tighter wedge in the gun-barrel and a patch of suicient size should be used to extend above and into the channel ll when in use. The hook 3 should also be elongated to avoid torsional displacement within the gun-barrel- This hook serves a useful purpose in preventing creeping of the patch away from the-head 2 and it is evident that one patch, or any larger number of patches,
may be secured in position thereby at one time to serve barrels of different bores.
t-Having described the invention, Whatisgclaimed as new is:
l. In a gun cleaner, a stem having an attenuated portion near its end and an elongated rigid head at the end of said stem, there being an annular channel formed in the upper face of said head of sufficient depth to receive a fold of cloth therein.
2. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stem portion and a rigid elongated head on the end of said stem, said head having a relatively deep annular channel formed in its `upper face and there being an acute biting edge surrounding said channel.
3. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stem portion terminating in an integral head having an annular channel in its upper face, there being a serrated outer edge to said channel.
4. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stem portion terminating in an integral head having an annular channel in its upper face and having a perforation extending transversely through its lower end.
5. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stem portion terminating in au integral head having an annular channel in its upper face and having a perforation extending transf versely through its lower end, in combination with a hook adapted to pass through said perforation to secure a cloth patch in position and means for moving said device longitudinally of a gun barrel.
6. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stem and an integral head, said head being perforated transversely at one end and provided with a relatively deep channel in its opposite end, said channel surrounding said stein, in combination with means for pinning a patch in position surrounding said head and iiexible means for reciprocating said head in a gun barrel.
7. In a gun cleaner, an attenuated stein and an integral head, said head being perforated transversely at one end and provided with a relatively deep channel in its opposite end, said channel surrounding said stem, in combination with means for pinning a patch in position surrounding said head and flexible means for reciprocating said head in a gun barrel, there being a transversely extending stop secured on said iexible means.
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two Witnesses.
PHILIP ERNEST AIRD.
