Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to apparatus used for cleaning gun bores, and more particularly to a gun cleaning kit that can be carried easily by a hunter or marksman in the field.
- Cleaning and polishing the gun bore can significantly improve shooting accuracy and consistency. The sooner copper, powder and lead fouling are removed from the bore or barrel, the easier is the cleaning task. Timely cleaning can even preserve the value of the gun. Therefore, frequent cleaning is desirable.
- a bore cleaning kit typically includes a cleaning rod, brushes and jag attachments of appropriate caliber, pre-cut patches, and cleaning solvent.
- the barrel is cleaned using a solvent-bearing brush attached to the end of the cleaning rod which is run through the bore to loosen residue.
- a jag-mounted patch impregnated with solvent to mop out any loose residue and dirt. Patches containing cleaning solvents are run through the bore until a patch comes out clean. A dry patch may then be run through the bore.
- Gun cleaning kits typically contain a collection of materials used to clean and oil a gun. These cleaning kits have not changed much since the 1920's, but the way in which people hunt has changed. No longer do hunters have gun bearers, nor do hunters hunt from a horse drawn wagon or motorized vehicle. Today hunters trek off into the bush, carrying whatever they believe will be needed to sustain them for the length of time they will stay in the woods.
- a new and improved firearm cleaning kit is provided.
- the firearm cleaning kit includes one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, at least one pre-moistened gun patch disposed in at least one of the chambers, the pre-moistened gun patch(es) formed of a gun patch-appropriate material which remains intact while being run through a gun barrel, and a lid for selectively covering at least one of the openings to the chamber(s) having the pre-moistened gun patch(es).
- the gun cleaning kit includes a one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, at least one pre-moistened gun patch disposed in at least one of the chambers, the at least one pre-moistened gun patch having a size suitable for use with a gun having a bore size of about .177 caliber to about .458 caliber, and a lid for selectively covering at least one of the openings corresponding to the at least one of the chambers having the at least one pre-moistened gun patch.
- the gun cleaning kit includes a one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, a plurality of pre-moistened gun patches disposed the chambers, wherein the gun patches are pre-moistened with at least one of gun oil and bore cleaner, and a plurality lids each covering and sealing a different opening for minimizing the escape of odors therefrom.
- FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of the gun cleaning kit in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the gun cleaning kit shown in FIG. 1 , with the lids removed;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a chamber of the gun cleaning kit without a lid adapted to store patches pre-moistened with gun oil;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a chamber of the gun cleaning kit without a lid adapted to store patches pre-moistened with gun cleaner;
- FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of the gun cleaning kit in accordance with the invention.
- a firearm cleaning kit shown generally at 10 includes a housing 12 .
- the housing is made of a plastic or other material that is impervious to the chemicals used in cleaning and oiling firearms.
- the housing material also preferably resists crushing and puncturing.
- the housing 12 includes one or more walls 13 , 44 , 46 and 48 defining compartments or chambers 14 , 16 , 18 and 20 , each chamber having an opening 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 .
- the exact number of chambers is not critical, however four chambers will be described.
- One or more of the chambers is adapted to hold moistened gun patches 22 , as discussed in further detail below.
- Each opening 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 can be covered by a different lid 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 , respectively.
- less than one lid per opening can be provided, such that one lid would cover two or more chamber openings.
- the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 are preferably attached to the housing when the openings are uncovered, though they may not be. Attaching the open lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 to the housing 12 lessens the chances of losing the lid sin the field.
- the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 can be attached by a hinge, a string or chain, or in any other suitable known manner.
- the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 When closed to cover the openings 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 , the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 form seals which minimize the escape of fumes and/or odors from the openings coming from the pre-moistened patches.
- the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 can form these seals with the housing, or walls defining the chambers, in any suitable known manner.
- the seals can be formed to be as tight as practicable, given suitable constraints such as cost and ease of use, to minimize the escape of fumes and/or odors so as to prevent the detection of these scents by people and/or animals from a suitable distance, which may be as low as only a few feet away.
- the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 can close with a snapping sound, or another audible indicator, to indicate closure and that the seal has been formed. Accordingly, the lid, the housing or both can be made to provide the audible indication that the chamber has been sealed. Alternatively, the lids 34 , 36 , 38 and 40 can be formed to open and close silently.
- only certain chambers secure to a sealed condition that minimizes the escape of fumes and/or odors, preferably the chambers that may carry items having a strong odor and/or moistened patches.
- the chambers 14 , 16 , 18 and 20 are separated from one another in the housing 12 by internal walls 44 , 46 and 48 ( FIG. 2 ).

Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/646,250 filed on Aug. 22, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/405,275, filed on Aug. 22, 2002, the disclosure of which is also incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates in general to apparatus used for cleaning gun bores, and more particularly to a gun cleaning kit that can be carried easily by a hunter or marksman in the field.
- Cleaning and polishing the gun bore can significantly improve shooting accuracy and consistency. The sooner copper, powder and lead fouling are removed from the bore or barrel, the easier is the cleaning task. Timely cleaning can even preserve the value of the gun. Therefore, frequent cleaning is desirable.
- One problem often encountered when hunting is that the hunter trips and the muzzle of the rifle or shotgun is jammed into the earth or snow, blocking the muzzle and the barrel. This can be dangerous, since should the firearm be fired with the obstruction in the barrel it could explode, possibly harming the shooter.
- The gun cleaning process is quite simple. A bore cleaning kit typically includes a cleaning rod, brushes and jag attachments of appropriate caliber, pre-cut patches, and cleaning solvent. Immediately after shooting or hunting, the barrel is cleaned using a solvent-bearing brush attached to the end of the cleaning rod which is run through the bore to loosen residue. This is followed by a jag-mounted patch impregnated with solvent to mop out any loose residue and dirt. Patches containing cleaning solvents are run through the bore until a patch comes out clean. A dry patch may then be run through the bore.
- Gun cleaning kits typically contain a collection of materials used to clean and oil a gun. These cleaning kits have not changed much since the 1920's, but the way in which people hunt has changed. No longer do hunters have gun bearers, nor do hunters hunt from a horse drawn wagon or motorized vehicle. Today hunters trek off into the bush, carrying whatever they believe will be needed to sustain them for the length of time they will stay in the woods.
- However, hunters in the field and recreational shooters rarely carry gun cleaning kits due to the size and bulk of conventional kits. The existing kits are too large to be carried easily, and the cleaning fluids and oils used in the kits have a strong odor that can be smelled at quite a distance by wary game animals. One reason that the game animals can smell these fluids is that the bottles in which they are sold can easily leak, break or be punctured or crushed.
- Accordingly, it is desirable to have a kit designed to make firearms cleaning in the field, or on the shooting range, as efficient, easy, and scent free as possible.
- According to the present invention, a new and improved firearm cleaning kit is provided.
- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the firearm cleaning kit includes one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, at least one pre-moistened gun patch disposed in at least one of the chambers, the pre-moistened gun patch(es) formed of a gun patch-appropriate material which remains intact while being run through a gun barrel, and a lid for selectively covering at least one of the openings to the chamber(s) having the pre-moistened gun patch(es).
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the gun cleaning kit includes a one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, at least one pre-moistened gun patch disposed in at least one of the chambers, the at least one pre-moistened gun patch having a size suitable for use with a gun having a bore size of about .177 caliber to about .458 caliber, and a lid for selectively covering at least one of the openings corresponding to the at least one of the chambers having the at least one pre-moistened gun patch.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the gun cleaning kit includes a one or more walls defining a plurality of chambers, the chambers having openings, a plurality of pre-moistened gun patches disposed the chambers, wherein the gun patches are pre-moistened with at least one of gun oil and bore cleaner, and a plurality lids each covering and sealing a different opening for minimizing the escape of odors therefrom.
- The advantages and benefits of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
- The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. The invention may take form in various components and arrangement of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps, preferred embodiments of which will be illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:

- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a firearm cleaning kit shown generally at 10 includes ahousing 12. The housing is made of a plastic or other material that is impervious to the chemicals used in cleaning and oiling firearms. The housing material also preferably resists crushing and puncturing. - The
housing 12 includes one ormore walls chambers moistened gun patches 22, as discussed in further detail below. - Each opening 24, 26, 28 and 30 can be covered by a
different lid lids open lids housing 12 lessens the chances of losing the lid sin the field. Thelids - When closed to cover the
openings lids lids - The
lids lids - In alternative embodiments only certain chambers secure to a sealed condition that minimizes the escape of fumes and/or odors, preferably the chambers that may carry items having a strong odor and/or moistened patches.
- The
chambers housing 12 byinternal walls FIG. 2 ). The internal walls 44-48 and the lids 34-40 are made of the same impervious material as the housing. Thegun kit 10 can also be formed of one ormore walls 12 which can be separate walls, such as separate cylinders, each defining aseparate chamber - The
pre-moistened gun patches 22 are formed of a gun patch-appropriate material. A gun patch-appropriate material is a material having physical properties which enable it to remain intact while being run through a gun barrel. The gun patch-appropriate material remains intact by not tearing, shredding, or leaving sufficient portions of the gun patch-appropriate material in the gun barrel after it has been run through the gun barrel and then removed to be considered undesirable by those skilled in the art of firearms cleaning and maintenance. It is appreciated that even a gun patch-appropriate material may leave insignificant portions of the material in the gun barrel after use, such as fibers or small amounts of lint, etc., however these insignificant amounts do not interfere with the proper and safe operation, storage and maintenance of the firearm and thus are not considered to be undesirable by those skilled in the art. - The physical properties of gun patch appropriate material can include a tear resistance sufficient to prevent tearing of the patch during normal use, that of being run through a gun barrel. These physical properties can also include resistance to pilling, or forming lint, or other like conditions by which the patch does not remain intact while being run through the gun barrel so that portions of the patch material are left in the barrel during use as a gun patch significant enough to be considered undesirable by those skilled in the art. The gun patch-appropriate material is also absorbent enough, as is known in the art, to retain sufficient amounts of gun oil and/or bore cleaner for application to the gun barrel during use as a gun patch. Examples of gun patch-appropriate material can include cotton flannel, and durable cotton weaves, as well as other materials which are known in the art. The pre-moistened gun patches can be ribbed or textured.
- It should be appreciated that a gun patch should make intimate contact with the inside of the gun barrel when run therethrough to perform effectively. However, the gun patch cannot be so large as to be too difficult to run through the barrel either. Thus, the pre-moistened gun patches provided in the gun cleaning kit have sizes suitable for use for specific bore sizes or ranges of bore sizes. The gun cleaning kit is intended for use with most handguns and rifles and thus the pre-moistened gun patches would be sized accordingly. It is contemplated that the pre-moistened gun patches can be provided in sizes capable of being used for guns having bore sizes ranging from about .177 caliber to about .458 caliber. By way of examples, which should not be considered limiting, the pre-moistened gun patches can be flat rectangular pieces of gun patch-appropriate material having a first edge having a size between 14 mm and 30 mm and a second side having a size between 30 mm and 42 mm. The gun patch can be flat circular shaped pieces of gun patch-appropriate material having a diameter of about 80 mm to about 120 mm. It should be appreciated that other sizes and shapes can be utilized if they are known in the art to be effective for use as gun patches on the range of bore sizes provided above.
- A plurality of pre-moistened gun patches having different sizes and/or shapes can be provided in the gun cleaning kit, such as by including them in
different chambers kit 10. - The
pre-moistened gun patches 22 can be pre-moistened with gun oil for oiling a gun, examples of which can include a low viscosity petroleum based oil, a low viscosity non-petroleum based oil, or a low viscosity synthetic oil, or other gun oils known in the art for properly oiling the bore or barrel of a gun. Thepre-moistened gun patches 22 can be pre-moistened with bore cleaner, examples of which can include an ammonia based gun cleaning fluid, a surfactant based gun cleaning fluid, a solvent based gun cleaning fluid, or other gun cleaning fluid known in the art for properly cleaning a firearm barrel or bore. - Different pre-moistened gun patches pre-moistened with different gun oils and bore cleaners can be provided in
different chambers FIGS. 3 and 4 , one or more of the chambers, such aschamber 14, can be adapted to storegun patches 22 a pre-moistened with bore cleaner, and one or more of the chambers, such aschamber 16, can be adapted to storegun patches 22 b pre-moistened with gun oil.Lids cover openings pre-moistened patches internal wall 44 divides the borecleaner chamber 14 from thegun oil chamber 16. Thewall 44 is made from a plastic or other material that is impervious to the chemicals used in cleaning and oiling firearms so that no cross-contamination between the chambers can occur. -
Chamber 18 can be used to store dry patches. The dry patches are used to wipe the bore after the pre-moistened patches have been used. Also, the imperviousinternal wall 46 divides thedry patch chamber 18 from thegun oil chamber 16 so that no cross-contamination may occur. The dry gun patches can be of different sizes. -
Chamber 20 is adapted for storing other cleaning accessories, including but not limited to, a bore or barrel cleaning rod, a brush and a jag of a size suitable for use with barrels ranging from .177 caliber to .458 caliber. It is contemplated that different sized cleaning accessories can be provided to cover this range of barrel sizes or a smaller range of barrel sizes, even specific barrel sizes if desired. Both the bore cleaning brush and the jag can be made of nylon.Chamber 20 may also store a flexible, pull-through cleaning rod having a threaded ferrule that can accept the brushes and jag.Chamber 20 may also store a rod having a screw-to-assemble T-handle that is assembled by screwing the rod together. The rod may be disassembled to be stored in thechamber 20.Internal wall 48 divides thestorage chamber 20 from thedry patch chamber 18. -
Lid 40 covers opening 20 to retain the stored implements inside the chamber.Lid 40 can form a seal as described above. Thelids kit 10 is inverted or jostling. The seals formed by theselids - The exact location and positioning of the chambers with respect to one another is not critical. The chambers may be positioned in any order and may be horizontal as opposed to the vertical orientation shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 . - The
