Patent number: 11747105Abstract: A bore cleaning tool comprised of a jag having a central body, a spiked tip near a first end of the central body, and a threaded portion near a second end of the central body. The central body may have a plurality of shallow reservoirs and deep reservoirs. The plurality of shallow and deep reservoirs can repeatedly alternate. Each of the shallow reservoirs can include a pair of flanking ridges with a corresponding central portion, and each pair of flanking ridges can have a larger radius than a radius of the corresponding central portion. A patch can be connected to the spiked tip so the bore cleaning tool can be used for cleaning the bore of a firearm barrel.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: NEW REVO BRAND GROUP, LLCInventors: Howard Tripp, Daniel Zaleskas

Patent number: 7275319Abstract: A rolling element bearing comprises an inner ring and an outer ring which are each provided with a raceway, and a series of rolling elements which are in contact with the raceways of each ring. A lubricant film is provided in the contacts between the rolling elements and the raceways, which film forms a lubricant meniscus at the inlet side of each contact. In the bearing starved lubrication conditions prevail. The surface of each rolling element has minute recesses filled with a lubricant quantity, said recesses being flattened in the contact area defined by the contact between the rolling elements and the rings and thereby releasing lubricant at the inlet side of each contact resulting in a displacement of the meniscus further away from said contact. This meniscus displacement results in an increased lubricant film thickness in each contact area, thus improving the lubricating conditions in the bearing.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: SKF Engineering & Research Centre B.V.Inventors: Pieter Martin Lugt, Eusthatios Ioannides, Ingrid Victoria Wikstrom, John Howard Tripp, Marie-Laure Dumont, Antonio Gabelli, Benoit Clement Jacod
