Motorized firearm barrel cleaning system

Abstract

A motorized firearm barrel cleaning system includes a main body containing an electric motor unit configured to generate sonic vibrations. An elongated rod is in communication with the motor unit for transferring the vibrations to a removable brush head having a shape and dimension for making contact with a firearm barrel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A motorized firearm barrel cleaning system, comprising:
 a motor unit configured to generate at least one of a high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations;   a switch configured to selectively engage the motor unit;   a brush head that includes a shaft having a plurality of bristles at a distal end, and a rod connector at a proximal end;   an elongated rod having a first end that is in communication with the motor unit, and a second end having a brush connector, said brush connector being configured to removably engage the rod connector of the brush head,   wherein the elongated rod is configured to transfer the at least one high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations to the brush head; and   a main body that includes   a lower portion having a cavity for housing the motor unit, and a removable cap portion defining a cavity for receiving the first end of the elongated rod and positioning the same at a location adjacent to the motor unit,   said cap portion further including an opening configured to receive a portion of the elongated rod.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a flexible seal disposed within the opening of the cap portion, said seal including a shape configured to surround the portion of the elongated rod located within the opening.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the elongated rod is configured to rotate within the cavity of the removable cap. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the elongated rod includes a generally rectangular shape, said shape being configured to receive the at least one high frequency vibrations and sonic vibrations from the motor unit. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an elongated rod sheath configured to encompass a portion of the rod, said sheath being constructed from a soft material.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of male threads disposed along an upper periphery of the lower main body portion; and   a plurality of female threads disposed along a bottom periphery of the cap portion, said male and female threads being configured to removably secure the cap and bottom portions together via a twisting motion.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the main body is constructed from injection molded plastic. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the motor unit comprises:
 a direct current power supply;   an oscillator;   an amplifier; and   an isolation transformer,   each of said elements being configured to work in unison to generate the at least one high frequency vibrations and sonic vibrations.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated rod is constructed from at least one of aluminum, steel and brass. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the rod connector includes a plurality of male threads, and the brush connector includes a plurality of female threads, each of said male and female threads being configured to work in unison to removably secure the brush head to the rod via a twisting motion. 
     
     
         11 . A motorized firearm barrel cleaning system, comprising:
 a motor unit configured to generate at least one of a high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations;   a switch configured to selectively engage the motor unit;   a brush head that includes a shaft having a plurality of bristles at a distal end, and a rod connector at a proximal end;   an elongated rod having a first end that is permanently secured to the motor unit, and a second end having a brush connector, said brush connector being configured to removably engage the rod connector of the brush head,   wherein the elongated rod is configured to transfer the at least one high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations to the brush head; and   an elongated, generally tubular main body having a cavity for housing the motor unit, and an opening disposed along an upper portion thereof,   wherein a portion of the rod protrudes outward, through the opening of the main body.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 one or more lights secured along an outside portion of the main body, said lights being configured to illuminate the brush head.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said lights include an incandescent bulb that is configured to radiate heat towards the elongated rod. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a heating element disposed within the main body at a location adjacent to the elongated rod, said heating element being configured to transfer heat to the rod.   
     
     
         15 . A motorized firearm barrel cleaning system, comprising:
 means for generating at least one of a high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations;   a brush head that includes a shaft having a plurality of bristles at a distal end, and a rod connector at a proximal end;   means for transferring the at least one high frequency vibrations and a sonic vibrations to the brush head; and   a main body configured to house the means for generating, and at least a portion of the means for transferring.   
     
     
         16 . The motorized firearm barrel cleaning system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 means for providing illumination to the brush head.   
     
     
         17 . The motorized firearm barrel cleaning system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 means for providing heat to the means for transferring.
