CLEANING non' non GUNS. 4
Application led August 12, 1927. Serial No. 212,593.
This invention relates to improvementsin cleaning rods for firearms. One-objectof the invention among others is.to provide a device which will allow` the cleaning rod to rotate freely in a riiied barrel as the rod is pulled endwise through the barrel.
Another object of the invention is to pro-- vide a device which will obviatethe necessity of turning the hand when the rod is drawn through a riiied barrel.
And a still further' object of the invention islto provide a device which will facilitate the thoroughness of the cleaning operation.
Other objects will appear as the description of the invention proceeds.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of thecleaning rod,. i
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional'view particularly showing the handle,l
Figure 3 isa transverse sectional view on the line 3 3 of Figure 2, looking inthe direction indicated by the arrows, and
Figure 4 .is a view similar to Figure 2, showing a slight modiiication of the invention.
which is iiattenedat one end and provided Referring more particularlyjo the drawlings, the 'numeral 10 indicates a rod element with a slot 11 to receive the usual cleaning rag. Formed on the other end of said element is a disc or head 12'..
Swiveled on the rod element 10 is a cas ing 13 open at one end and closed at the other end by an end wall 14 having an axial opening .therein which rotatably receives said rod element. The disc 12 is freely ac commodated within the casing and interposed between the end wall 14 and the disc are hall bearings 15. -Overlying the disc are similar bearings indicated by the numeral 16. Snugly fitting in the casing is a metal thimble 17 and associated with said thimble is a rounded grip 18 formed of wood or other suitable material. Atone end said grip is reduced to form a shank 19 fitting snugly in the'thimble, and formed at the base of said shank is a flat shoulder 23 which overhangs the open end of the casing abutting the edge thereof. Formed in the casing 13, the thimble 17, and the reduced shank ofthe grlp and fitting through said openings is a transverse pin 20 which is upset at both ends to maintain the coacting parts in operative relation.-
. In use, a cleaning rag' is inserted into the f carried by the rod element will follow the rifles, causing said element torotate, thus aiding the cleaning of said ril-les. The head of the rod element will rotateffreelyl inthe casing due to the ball bearings underlyingv and overl ing the disc. Oil should be introduced mto the casing to keep the bearings in good condition. f
Referrin 'to Figure -4, I showA a device similar to t e one'shown in Figures 1 and 2 with the exception that I employ a hollow rounded metal grip 22 with one end reduced to form a shank 24 which is fitted snugly within t-he casing 13, thus obviating the necessity for the-thimble 17. Otherwise, the modication is identical with the preferred form of the invention and operates in a like manner.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:-
A gun cleaner comprising a rod, a flat cir-Y cular disk at oneA end .of said rod constituting a head for the rod, a cylindrical casing open at one end and having a wall at its other end formed with a central opening, said rod being passed through said opening with its head received in the casing and being freely rotatable relative to the casing, bearing balls about said rod bet-Ween the head thereof and the end wall of said casing, a hand griphaving at one end a .reduced yintegral portion forming a neck, the said neck being received in said casing through the open end thereof and having a Hat end face spaced from the` head of'said rod, bearing balls in said casing' between the head of said rod and thel ilat end face -of said neck, .and a securing pin 'passed transversely through the casing and
