Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 381,691.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. SwAzEY, citizen of the United States, residing at Milo, in the countyof Piscataquis and State I of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gun-Cleaners, of which the following is a speciiication.
The present invention relates to an improved cleaning device for fire arms and aims to provide a novel means whereby a cleaning cord can be drawn continuously through the gun barrel, the said cord carrying' suitable wipers or cleaning members.
A further object of the invention is to design a simple and eiiicient gun cleaning device which can be readily applied to a gun barrel or removed therefrom and which enables the interior of the barrel to be quickly and thoroughly cleaned with the expenditure of a minimum amount of energ For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire la knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gun having the cleaning device applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail view of one of the end brackets. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the cleaning device when detached. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the frame having the driving mechanism mounted thereon. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the point employed in applying the wiping rags to the cleaner. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of the cleaning cord. Fig. '7 is a plan view of a gun having the cleaning attachment applied thereto.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The invention is shown as applied-to a gunv swinging ends of the jaws being provided with outstanding ears connected by a clamping screw 7.
A somewhat similar bracket 8 is applied to the rear end of' the gun barrel, the said bracket having a guide pulley 9 mounted upon its extremity and being formed with a lateral arm 10 projecting into the breech of the gun and carrying' a guide pulley 11. An
endless cleaning cord 12 is designed to pass around the various pulleys 3, 5', 9 and 11, a portion of the cord 12 being received within the gun barrel 1 while the opposite portion extends along the exterior of the same. A clamp 13 somewhat similar to the before mentioned clamp 6 may be utilized for mounting the rear bracket S upon the gun.
A frame 14 is applied to the gun barrel at an intermediate point between thet brackets 8 and 2 and is preferably located t'oward the breech of the gun as in the present instance. This frame 14 is designed to be clamped upon the gun barrel by means of a iixed jaw 15 and a hinged jaw 16, the lattervbeing drawn toward the former by means of a clamping screw 17. This frame 14 comprises a pair of upright arms having a roller 18 journaled between the same, the said roller having' the surface thereof covered with a layer of rubber or similar material which is preferably roughened to prevent any slipping of the cleaning cord 12. A comparatively small gear wheel 19 upon one side of the frame 14 is rigid with the roller 18, the said gear wheel being designed to mesh with the teeth of the gear wheel 20 having a handle 21 detachably connected thereto. It will thus be apparent that by operating the drive wheel 2() through the medium of the handle 21 the roller 18 may be caused to revolve at the desired rate of speed and to impart motion to the endless cleaning cord 12 which is turned once or twice about the roller. In order to prevent the portions of the cleaning cord upon the roller 18 from coming together and crossing or becoming twisted guide rollers 22 and 23 are employed, the former being carried by an arm projecting rearwardly toward the cated at 25 may be passed.
lcleaning cord. After the desired cleaning members have been applied to the cord12 the latter is caused to pass continuously through the gun barrel 1 by turning the drive wheel 20 until the interior of the said gun barrel is thoroughly cleaned. In the preferred application of the device two sets of cleaning members are applied to the cord 12 so that one set is always operating within the gun barrel. In order to prevent scratching the gun or injuring the finish thereof the various clamp members heretofore described preferably have felt or similar material applied to the inner faces thereof. v
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A gun cleaner comprising an endless cord designed to extend through the gun barrel, guide members for the endless cord, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller journaled upon the frame and engaging the endless cord,A and means for turning the roller to drive the cord.
2.. A gun cleaner comprising an endless cord designed to extend through the gun barrel, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller journaled upon the frame and'engaging the endless cord, a guide member carried by the frame and engaging the cord, and means for turning the roller to drive the cord.
3. A gun cleaner comprising an endless cord designed to extend through the gun barrel, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller journaled upon the frame and engaging the endlesscord, arms projecting in oppo site directions from the frame, and guide members carried by the arms for engaging the cord.
4. A gun cleaner comprising an endless cord designed to pass through the gun barrel,
brackets applied to the gun, guide members mounted upon the brackets and engaging ssaese the endless cord, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller carried by the frame and engaging the cord, and means for turning the roller.
5. A gun cleaner comprising brackets de-A signed to be applied to a gun, said brackets being formed with lateral arms projecting over the muzzle and breech of the gun respectively,` guide members carried by the brackets, a second set of guide members carried by the lateral arms, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller journaled upon the frame, an endless cord designed to pass through the gun barrel and engage the guide members and roller, and means for turning the roller to drive the cord.
6. A gun cleaner comprising an endless -cord designed to pass through the gun barrel,
guide members for the cord, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller j ournaled upon the frame and engaging the cord, and guide rollers carried by the frame and engaging the cord.
7. A gun cleaner comprising an endless cleaning cord designed to be passed through the gun barrel, guide members for the cord, a frame mounted upon the gun, a roller journaled upon the frame and having the cord wound thereon, arms projecting late-rally from the frame, and guide rollers mounted upon the arms and engaging the cord.
8. A gun cleaner comprising brackets designed to be applied to opposite endsv of the barrel, guide members mounted upon the brackets, an endless cleaning cord passing around the guide members and designedto extend through the gun barrel a frame mounted upon the barrel between the brackets, a roller journaled upon the frame and having the cleaning cord wound thereon, and gearing mounted upon the frame for turning the roller.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
