  • Patent number: 5201093
    Abstract: A kit for cleaning the contacts on video game consoles and cartridges comprises a cleaning solution, a cleaning clip, a cleaning card and a pair of cleaning wands. The cleaning solution is applied to the contacts of the console or the cartridge using one end of the cleaning card to remove dirt and other low voltage build up. The contacts are then dried with the opposite end of the cleaning card. For areas of the contacts that are difficult to reach with the cleaning card, two cleaning wands are provided. One wand is used for cleaning and the other for drying. Each wand is an angled oblong member with a porous fabric attached on the operational end. Additionally, the cleaning clip is sized for attachment to the game cartridge and cleans the contacts in the console. After the clip is attached, solution is placed on the clip and the cartridge is repeatedly removed and inserted from the console to brush the clip across the contacts and apply the cleaning solution.
