  • Gun barrel and tube cleaning device
    Patent number: 6088866
    Abstract: This device is a cleaning tool for cleaning the inside of gun barrels. The device consists of a metal brush which is enclosed within a tubular sheath of material, typically a woven fabric. The bristles of the brush extend through the wall of the woven sheath of fabric. The tubular sheath is pulled through a gun barrel and the bristles of the brush clean the inside of the gun barrel. Also enclosed within the tubular sheath are one or more foam inserts, or one or more cleaning regions formed by folding the cord within itself, either of which creates a bulge in the tubular sheath and cleans debris from the gun barrel, spreads gun cleaning solvent in the gun barrel, absorbs solvent and combustion and bullet residues, and spreads a layer of gun oil in the gun barrel.
