Gun cleaning tool kit

Abstract

A firearm cleaning kit that can be used to clean the breech of a firearm and, when not in use, may be stored in a relatively compact space. The firearm cleaning kit of the present invention includes a receiver brush, an end brush, a pick, a punch pin, a scraper, an angled pick, and at least one long rod.

1 . A firearm cleaning kit constructed of a plurality of cleaning tools comprising:
 a first rod having a first and a second end,
 said first end containing a male threaded connector, 
 said second end containing a female threaded connector; 
   a receiver brush having a base with a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end,
 said base containing a plurality of bristles mounted substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis, 
 said first end containing a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod; 
   an end brush having a base with a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end,
 said base containing bristles mounted substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, 
 said second end containing a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod; 
   a pick having a generally cylindrical body portion with a first end and a second end,
 said first end having a substantially rigid wire extending longitudinally from said body portion, 
 said second end having a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod; 
   a punch pin having an elongated first end and a second end,
 said elongated first end having sufficient rigidity to depress a receiver pivot pin of a firearm, 
 said second end having a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod; 
   a scraper having a body with a first and a second end,
 said first end being tapered to define a scraping surface, 
 said second end having a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod; 
   and   an angled pick having a body portion with a first and a second end, a blade, and a bent terminal section,
 said first end of the body portion having a male threaded connector capable of releasably engaging the female threaded connector of said first rod, 
 said blade having a longitudinal axis, a first end attached to said body portion, a second end having a width that is narrower than the width of the first end of the blade, and a corrugation extending at least partially along the longitudinal axis of the blade between said first and second ends of the blade, 
 said bent terminal section attached to said second end of the blade and being configured to protrude at an angle relative to said longitudinal axis of the blade. 
   
   
   
       2 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said pick has a body portion configured to have a first circumferential band that is textured for ease of handling and a second circumferential band that has a hexagonal cross-section. 
   
   
       3 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the bristles of said receiver brush have varying lengths configured to form a notch. 
   
   
       4 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 3 , wherein the bristles of said receiver brush are made of a stiff polymer that is solvent resistant. 
   
   
       5 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the bent terminal section of the angled pick protrudes 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the blade. 
   
   
       6 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1  further including a second rod having a first and a second end, at least one of said first and second ends containing a female threaded connector. 
   
   
       7 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 6 , wherein said first rod, said second rod, and said scraper are made out of metal. 
   
   
       8 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the first end of said scraper is about 0.2′ wide and about 0.02′ thick. 
   
   
       9 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 6 , wherein the first end of said scraper is about 0.2′ wide and about 0.02′ thick. 
   
   
       10 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said second rod has a circumferential band that is textured for ease of handling. 
   
   
       11 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 6 , wherein said second rod has a circumferential band that is textured for ease of handling. 
   
   
       12 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1 , where the elongated first end of said punch pin is about 0.1′ in cross-sectional diameter. 
   
   
       13 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 1  further including a small flashlight. 
   
   
       14 . A firearm cleaning kit according to  claim 6  further including a small flashlight. 
   
   
       15 . An angled pick for incorporation in a firearm cleaning kit that is configured for picking and scraping fouling and debris from the breech of a firearm comprising:
 a body portion with a first and a second end, a blade, and a bent terminal section,
 said first end of the body portion having a male threaded connector, 
 said blade having a longitudinal axis, a first end attached to said body portion, a second end having a width that is narrower than the width of the first end of the blade, and a corrugation extending at least partially along the longitudinal axis of the blade between said first and second ends of the blade, 
 said bent terminal section attached to said second end of the blade and being configured to protrude at an angle relative to said longitudinal axis of the blade. 
   
   
   
       16 . An angled pick according to  claim 15 , wherein said bent terminal section is configured to protrude 90 degrees relative to said longitudinal axis of the blade. 
   
   
       17 . An angled pick according to  claim 15 , wherein said blade is made of metal. 
   
   
       18 . An angled pick according to  15 , wherein said blade is made of substantially rigid polymer.
