AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a new cleaning device for firearms that allows users to easily change from one device to another during the cleaning process. The device allows for both pushing and pulling motions, so users can scrub areas of the gun barrel assembly that require additional cleaning without unintended disconnection of the cleaning device from the cleaning rod or cable. The technical effect of this new device is to simplify and streamline the cleaning process for firearms.

Problems solved by technology

Such spin imparts stability and may result in a projectile that more consistently travels the path imparted by the barrel assembly.
When the gunpowder ignites, it causes an explosion within a portion of the barrel assembly resulting in a rapidly expanding gas.
Over time, such deposits may damage the surface of the gun barrel assembly and can interfere with the interface between the projectile and the gun barrel.
Such interference may result in a reduction of the accuracy and performance of the firearm.
A frequent problem during the performance of such steps is the recurring need to remove and replace the various devices used during the cleaning process.
In addition to being time consuming and tedious to assemble, threaded assemblies may be susceptible to cross-threading which may damage or destroy the threaded connection.
Such a damaged connection may separate during use, resulting in a cleaning device becoming lodged in the barrel assembly or barrel damage from the unsecured cleaning rod or cable.
A pushing motion may cause this connection to release or become misaligned.

Abstract

The present invention is an improvement to a gun barrel cleaning tool which enables a user to attach and remove gun barrel cleaning devices to a gun barrel cleaning rod by inserting a cleaning device into a recess formed in the cleaning rod whereupon a latch located in the recess engages a recess of the cleaning device to secure the cleaning device to barrel cleaning rod.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 224,126, filed Mar. 25, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 911,779, filed on Dec. 4, 2013. All of the above applications are incorporated by reference in their entirety as if fully recited herein.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a device for cleaning debris from a gun barrel and a method of use for such a device.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Firearms generally comprise a barrel structure, a chamber for housing a propellant, and a method of causing the propellant to propel a projectile down the barrel structure. The barrel structure is intended to guide the projectile toward its intended target. Frequently the inner surface of the barrel structure may be caused to have spiral indentations intended to cause the projectile to spin as it travels down the barrel. ...
