Abstract

This device is a cleaning tool (10) for cleaning the inside of gun barrels. The device consists of a metal brush (14) which is enclosed within a tubular sheath of material (12), typically a woven fabric. The bristles (24) of the brush (14) extend through the wall of the woven sheath of fabric. The tubular sheath (12) is pulled through a gun barrel and the bristles (24) of the brush (14) clean the inside of the gun barrel. Also enclosed within the tubular sheath may be one or more foam inserts (16), which create a bulge in the tubular sheath (12) and clean debris from the gun barrel, spread gun cleaning solvent in the gun barrel, absorb solvent and combustion and bullet residues, and spread a layer of gun oil in the gun barrel.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 25 March 1998 (25.03.98); original claims 1-10 cancelled; new claims 11-27 added (6 pages)]
1 1 . A gun barrel cleaning device for cleaning an inside surface of a tube comprising: a tubular sheath having a first end, a second end and a wall; and a brush enclosed within the tubular sheath, the brush including a brush body and bristles anchored in and extending from the brush body through the wall of the tubular sheath, for cleaning the inside surface of the tube when the gun barrel cleaning device is pulled through the tube.
1 2. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 1 wherein the tubular sheath comprises a woven fabric.
13. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 12 wherein the tubular sheath further comprises a woven multi-strand hollow cord including one or more texturized filaments.
14. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 1 further comprising a flexible cord attached to the tubular sheath for pulling the cleaning device through the tube.
1 5. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 14 further comprising a weight attached to an end of the flexible cord.
1 6. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 5 further comprising a rigid or semi-rigid section be attached to the weight.
28
1 7. A gun barrel cleaning device for cleaning an inside surface of a tube comprising: a tubular sheath having a first end, a second end and a wall; a brush enclosed within the tubular sheath, the brush including a brush body and bristles anchored in and extending from the brush body through the wall of the tubular sheath, for cleaning the inside surface of the tube when the gun barrel cleaning device is pulled through the tube; and a cleaning section enclosed within the tubular sheath for cleaning the inside surface of the tube in a multi-step cleaning process as the woven fabric tubular sheath is pulled through the inside of the tube.
1 8. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 wherein the tubular sheath comprises a woven fabric.
29
1 9. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 wherein the tubular sheath comprises a woven multi-strand hollow cord.
20. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 17 wherein the tubular sheath further comprises a woven multi-strand hollow cord including one or more texturized filaments.
21 . The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 wherein the cleaning section comprises a resilient insert enclosed within the tubular sheath, for increasing resistance to compression of the tubular sheath at the site of the resilient insert, so as to more forcefully contact the tubular sheath against the inside surface of the tube.
22. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 wherein the cleaning section comprises a foam insert enclosed within the tubular sheath.
30
23. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 wherein said thickened regions comprise a section of said fabric webbing folded inside or upon itself and fixed in a folded position.
24. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 1 7 further comprising a flexible cord attached to the tubular sheath for pulling the cleaning device through the tube.
25. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 24 further comprising a weight attached to an end of the flexible cord.
26. The gun barrel cleaning device of Claim 25 further comprising a rigid or semi-rigid section be attached to said weight.
31
27. A method for cleaning the inside of a gun barrel by performing a plurality of cleaning steps on one pass through the gun barrel with a gun barrel cleaning device having a first end and a second end the method comprising the steps of: a) inserting the first end of the gun barrel cleaning device into a first end of the gun barrel; b) pulling the first end of the gun barrel cleaning device through the inside of the gun barrel; c) pulling the gun barrel cleaning device through the inside of the gun barrel by the first end of the gun barrel cleaning device thereby;
1 ) scrubbing the inside surface of the gun barrel with a brush connected to and aligned with the length of the gun barrel cleaning device, as the gun barrel cleaning device is pulled through the inside of the gun barrel, loosening debris from the inside of the gun barrel; and
2) cleaning the inside surface of the gun barrel with a cleaning section connected to and aligned with the length of the gun barrel cleaning device, as the gun barrel cleaning device is pulled through the inside of the gun barrel, absorbing and removing debris from the inside of the gun barrel.
