The cleaner can also include an amine cleaning agent, a scent agent, a rust and/or corrosion inhibitor, a thickener, and/or a biocide. The cleaner removes grease, oil, carbon, plastic wad fouling and metal residues that can foul firearms. The cleaner is a water soluble, non-flammable, biodegradable cleaner. The cleaner is especially useful for cleaning outdoor sporting equipment such as firearms.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Sports Care Products, Inc.Inventors: David Stanley Komocki, Robert Joseph Harmacek

Patent number: 6150320Abstract: Concentrated cleaning compositions are described which exhibit an increase in viscosity simply upon dilution with water. The concentrated and diluted ("ready-to-use") versions are useful in removing food and petroleum grease from hard surfaces (particularly non-horizontal surfaces), and may be formulated as petroleum degreasers, hand soaps and bathroom cleaners. The inventive compositions include an aggregate-forming organic compound, for example an amine oxide, and a nonaggregating or mildly aggregating organic compound, such as an organic alkyl alcohol having from about 4 to about 20 carbon atoms.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1997Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: James A.
