CHARLES S. LEFT, OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT.
GUN-CLEANER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,007, dated July 15, 1884.
Application filed N ovemher 26, 1883. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern-.-
Be it known that l, CHARLEs S. LEET, a citizen ofthe United States, residing atBridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State. of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gun-Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in gun-cleaners, the object being to provide an imo Fig. 3 is a'top view of the cleaner.
In the drawings, d is the cleaner, c the cleaner-rod, and D the'section, of a gun-barrel. A wiping rag or patch is indicated by c. The gun-cleaner d is made from brass or other suitable metal, or it may be made from hardwood The lower end ofthe cleaner is screwed or otherwise arranged to be conveniently attached to the end ofthe rod e, and is made with a circular head having a groove, lo, around it, whereby are formed the narrow collars n a above and below said groove; and a series of slots, c, are formed inthe upper end of the cleaner, extending about half-way (more or less) the length of the latter, dividing thehead ofthe cleaner into a'number of springsegments capable of being deflected toward the center and of so springing outwardly as to force the collars n against the bore of the barrel. If desired, the head may be made with only one of said collars. f
The cleaner is employed with a wiping-rag, c, or othersuitable material, which is placed over the head, and the cleaner is then drawn back and forth through the barrel D until the latter is thoroughly cleaned. The diameter of the cleaner is slightly greater than kthe barrel in which it is used, so that the collars a a will bear against the surface of the bore with considerable force.
It will' be observed that the head of the cleaner is practically solid, save as it is divided by the slits, and the end isa disk divided only by narrow radial slits. This form of cleaner, besides being stronger, has less tendency to cut or tear the patch than the tubular form of wiper with springarms which has been heretofore known and used:
What I claim as my invention is A gun-cleaner adapted for attachment to the end of acleaning-rod, having a head which presents a disk-like face, the same being solid, except as divided'by radial slots, which extendI lengthwise of the body of the cleaner, and having one or more projecting collars, substantially as described.
