Description
Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Innenseite des Laufes einer Feuerwaffe Device for cleaning the inside of the barrel of a firearm
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Innenseite des Laufes einer Feuerwaffe, insbesondere eines Gewehres. The invention relates to a device for cleaning the inside of the barrel of a firearm, in particular a rifle.
Vorrichtungen dieser Art werden bekanntlich dafür benötigt, um einerseits Rückstände aus dem Lauf zu entfernen, welche sich beim Gebrauch der Feuerwaffe auf der Innenseite des Laufes ablagern. Andererseits werden diese Vorrichtungen auch dazu benötigt, besonders die Innenseite eines Laufes zu konservieren und somit z.B. bei einem längeren Nichtgebrauch einer Feuerwaffe das Auftreten von Korrosionen zu vermeiden. Devices of this type are known to be required for one hand to remove residues from the barrel, which are deposited during use of the firearm on the inside of the barrel. On the other hand, these devices are also needed to preserve especially the inside of a barrel and thus, e.g. to avoid the occurrence of corrosion in case of prolonged disuse of a firearm.
Eine Gewehrlaufreinigungsvorrichtung dieser Art ist z.B. aus der EP 0 981 409 Bl bekannt. Diese dient zum Reinigen einer Innenseite eines Rohres unter Durchführung von mehr als einem Reinigungsschritt, wenn die Gewehrlaufreinigungsvorrich- tung durch das Rohr gezogen wird. Hierzu weist die Vorrichtung ein flexibles längliches zugfestes Element, eine längliche Bürste mit einem ersten Ende, welches mit dem flexiblen, länglichen zugfesten Element verbunden ist, und einen flexiblen, länglichen Reinigungsabschnitt auf, welcher mit einem zweiten Ende der länglichen Bürste verbunden ist. A rifle cleaning device of this kind is e.g. from EP 0 981 409 B1. This is to clean an inside of a pipe by performing more than one cleaning step when the gun barrel cleaner is pulled through the pipe. To this end, the apparatus comprises a flexible elongated tensile member, an elongated brush having a first end connected to the flexible, elongate, tensile member, and a flexible, elongate, cleaning portion connected to a second end of the elongated brush.
Bei dieser Gewehrlaufreinigungsvorrichtung kann besonders bei einem häufigen Gebrauch das Problem auftreten, dass die Innenseite des Laufes und insbesondere die dort befindlichen Züge durch die Einwirkung der länglichen Bürste beschädigt werden. Desweiteren ist für den Gebrauch dieser Vorrichtung auf Grund der hohen Reibungswirkung der länglichen Bürste auf die Laufinnenseite ein hoher Kraftaufwand und ein erhöhter Zeitaufwand erforderlich. Zudem hat es sich gezeigt, dass insbesondere kleinere und weniger kräftige Personen einen Durchziehvorgang häufig kurz unterbrechen, gegebenenfalls die Griffposition einer Zughand anpassen und danach den Durchziehvorgang fortsetzen müssen. In this rifle barrel cleaning apparatus, especially with frequent use, there can be a problem that the inside of the barrel and in particular the puffs there are damaged by the action of the elongate brush. Furthermore, for the use of this device due to the high friction effect of the elongated brush on the inner side of a high effort and an increased amount of time required. In addition, it has been found that, in particular, smaller and less vigorous persons frequently interrupt a pull-through procedure for a short time, if necessary adapt the gripping position of a pulling hand and then have to continue the pulling-through operation.
BESTÄTIGUNGSKOPIE Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde eine Reinigungsvorrichtung anzugeben, womit die oben beschriebenen Probleme vermieden werden können. CONFIRMATION COPY The invention has for its object to provide a cleaning device, whereby the problems described above can be avoided.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit der in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Vorrichtung. Vorteilhafte weitere Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. The object is achieved with the device specified in claim 1. Advantageous further embodiments are specified in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Innenseite des Laufes einer Feuerwaffe besteht aus einem Zugelement und einem daran angeschlossenen Reinigungselement. Dabei weist das Reinigungselement eine erste Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit, besonders zur Vorreinigung des Laufes, eine Wischeinheit und eine zweite Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit, besonders zur Konservierung des Laufes, auf. The inventive device for cleaning the inside of the barrel of a firearm consists of a tension element and a cleaning element connected thereto. In this case, the cleaning element, a first moistening and cleaning unit, especially for pre-cleaning of the barrel, a wiper unit and a second moistening and cleaning unit, especially for the preservation of the barrel, on.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen auf. Der vorteilhafte Aufbau der Vorrichtung macht nur wenig Kraftaufwand beim Gebrauch erforderlich, so dass diese schnell in einem Zuge ohne zwischenzeitliches Absetzen durch den Lauf einer Feuerwaffe gezogen werden kann. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung aus einer ersten, besonders zur Vorreinigung dienenden Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit und einer zweiten, besonders zur Konservierung dienenden Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit mit einer dazwischen geschalteten Wischeinheit kann auch ohne den Einsatz von Bürsten eine wirkungsvolle und vor allem schonende Reinigung eines Laufes erzielt werden. The device according to the invention has a number of advantages. The advantageous structure of the device requires little effort during use, so that it can be pulled quickly in a train without interim weaning through the barrel of a firearm. The inventive arrangement of a first, especially used for pre-cleaning moistening and cleaning unit and a second, especially for preservation moisturizing and cleaning unit with an interposed wiper unit can be achieved without the use of brushes an effective and especially gentle cleaning a run become.
Ein weiterer Vorteil wird darin gesehen, dass die Vorrichtung ohne übermäßigen Aufwand kostengünstig gefertigt werden kann. So können insbesondere die erste und zweite Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit identisch ausgeführt sein. Bei einem modularen Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Reinigungsvorrichtung können diese dann in der jeweils gewünschten Reihenfolge mit anderen Elementen verbunden werden, z.B. dauerhaft durch Vernähen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist das Reinigungselement der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in Form eines bevorzugt gestrickten bzw. rundgestrickten Strumpfbandes ausgeführt. Another advantage is seen in that the device can be manufactured inexpensively without excessive effort. Thus, in particular, the first and second moistening and cleaning unit can be made identical. In a modular design of the cleaning device according to the invention, these can then be connected in the desired order with other elements, eg permanently by sewing. Particularly advantageously, the cleaning element of the device according to the invention is designed in the form of a preferably knitted or round-knit garter.
Ein solches kann z.B. im Bereich der Wischeinheit etwa in der Mitte der Vorrichtung mit zumindest einem zusätzlichen, stützenden Kern aus einem elastischen Material gefüllt sein, z.B. einem Schaumstoff. Ein solcher Kern übt dann auf das Strumpfband eine stabilisierende Wirkung aus und ermöglicht eine leichtere Handhabung der Vorrichtung. Je nach Ausführung kann ein solcher Schaumkern z.B. als Rollenmaterial bereits bei der Herstellung des Strumpfbandes mit eingestrickt werden. Andererseits kann dieser auch nachträglich bevorzugt in Form von einzelnen Segmenten in das Innere des Strumpfbandes eingelegt werden. Such can e.g. in the area of the wiping unit, approximately in the middle of the device, be filled with at least one additional, supporting core made of an elastic material, e.g. a foam. Such a core then exerts a stabilizing effect on the garter and allows for easier handling of the device. Depending on the design, such a foam core may be e.g. be already knitted as a roll material in the production of Garter. On the other hand, this can also be subsequently inserted in the form of individual segments in the interior of the garter.
Die Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in Form eines Strumpfbandes bietet auch bei der Gestaltung der Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheiten Vorteile. So können Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungselemente derselben vorteilhaft in Form von schlauchartigen, in das Strumpfband eingearbeiteten Taschen ausgeführt sein, z.B. mit Hilfe von seitlichen Abnähern. Taschen dieser Art können dann z.B. zur Bildung eines Reibungselements in einer Reinigungseinheit mit einem Füllkörper aus einem zähelastischen Werkstoff gefüllt werden, z.B. mit einer Gummikugel. Weiterhin können Taschen dieser Art auch zur Bildung eines Befeuchtungselements z.B. mit einem saugfähigen Werkstoff gefüllt werden. Dabei können als Füllkörper unterschiedliche offene Elemente eingebracht werden, z.B. ein Schwamm, Läppchen usw. Je nach der Intensität einer vorangegangenen Tränkung kann die jeweils gewünschte Reinigungswirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung auf diese Weise vorher eingestellt werden. The embodiment of the device according to the invention in the form of a garter also offers advantages in the design of the moistening and cleaning units. Thus, moistening and cleaning elements of the same can advantageously be made in the form of tubular pockets incorporated in the garter, e.g. with the help of side darts. Bags of this type can then be e.g. to form a friction element in a cleaning unit, are filled with a packing of a viscoelastic material, e.g. with a rubber ball. Furthermore, pockets of this type may also be used to form a moistening element, e.g. be filled with an absorbent material. In this case, different open elements can be introduced as filler, e.g. a sponge, lobules, etc. Depending on the intensity of a previous impregnation, the respective desired cleaning effect of the device according to the invention in this way can be set in advance.
Je nach den jeweils vorliegenden bzw. zu erwartenden Reinigungsanforderungen können die erste und zweite Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit unterschiedlich umfangreich ausgestattet sein. So dürfte es in vielen Fällen bereits ausreichend sein, wenn die beiden Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheiten jeweils ein Paar aus einem Befeuchtungselement und einem Reibungselement enthalten. Bei einer ersten Ausführung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in der ersten Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit in Zugrichtung zuerst das Befeuchtungselement und danach das Reibungselement angeordnet sind, während in der zweiten Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit in Zugrichtung zuerst das Reibungselement und danach das Befeuchtungselement angeordnet sind. Zur Anpassung z.B. an besondere Reinigungsanforderungen ist es auch möglich, die Reihenfolge der Elemente in einem oder beiden den Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheiten zu vertauschen. Depending on the current or expected cleaning requirements, the first and second moistening and cleaning unit can be equipped to different degrees. So it should already be sufficient in many cases be when the two moistening and cleaning units each contain a pair of a moistening element and a friction element. In a first embodiment, it is advantageous if in the first moistening and cleaning unit in the pulling direction first the moistening and then the friction element are arranged, while in the second moistening and cleaning unit in the pulling direction first the friction element and then the moistening element are arranged. To adapt, for example, to special cleaning requirements, it is also possible to reverse the order of the elements in one or both of the moistening and cleaning units.
Weiterhin ist es möglich, die Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheiten mit mehr als einem Befeuchtungs- bzw. Reinigungselement auszurüsten. So ist es z.B. zur Reinigung von Läufen, die erfahrungsgemäß einer besonders starken Verschmutzung ausgesetzt sind, möglich, die erste Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit einem oder mehreren Befeuchtungselementen bzw. weiteren Reibungselementen auszustatten. Furthermore, it is possible to equip the moistening and cleaning units with more than one moistening or cleaning element. So it is e.g. for cleaning runs, which are exposed according to experience of a particularly strong contamination, it is possible to equip the first moistening and cleaning unit in the device according to the invention with one or more moistening elements or other friction elements.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung ist als Füllkörper in die schlauchförmige Tasche eines Befeuchtungselements ein mittels Druck betätigbares Flüssigkeitsreservoir eingelegt. Je nach der Intensität einer Druckausübung während einer Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann damit die jeweils gewünschte Reinigungswirkung eingestellt werden. Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist als Flüssigkeitsreservoir ein geschlossenes Flüssigkeitsdepot, z.B. ein zylinderförmig gestreckter Hohlkörper, eine Pille, ein Fläschchen oder Fla- kon, mit einer ventilartigen, selbstständig wieder verschließbaren Austrittsöffnung eingelegt. Hiermit kann die Flüssigkeitsmenge, die bei jeder Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung austreten soll, gleichmäßig dosiert werden. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention is inserted as a filler in the tubular bag of a moistening an operable by means of pressure liquid reservoir. Depending on the intensity of a pressure application during an application of the device according to the invention thus the respective desired cleaning effect can be adjusted. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the liquid reservoir is a closed liquid reservoir, e.g. a cylinder-shaped elongated hollow body, a pill, a vial or flagon, with a valve-like, automatically re-closable outlet opening inserted. Hereby, the amount of liquid that should escape with each application of the device according to the invention, be dosed uniformly.
Dabei kann das Befeuchtungselement in der ersten, besonders zur Vorreinigung des Laufes dienenden Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit mit schmutzlösenden Reagenzien befüllt sein, während das Befeuchtungselement in der zweiten, besonders zur Konservierung des Laufes dienenden Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit mit nachölenden Reagenzien befüllt sein kann. In this case, the moistening element in the first, especially for pre-cleaning of the barrel serving humidifying and cleaning unit with dirt-dissolving Reagents may be filled, while the moistening element in the second, especially for the preservation of the barrel serving humidifying and cleaning unit can be filled with nachölenden reagents.
Eine beispielhafte Ausführung der Erfindung und die damit verbundenen Vorteile werden nachfolgend an Hand der Figur näher erläutert werden. An exemplary embodiment of the invention and the associated advantages will be explained in more detail with reference to the figure.
Diese weist als Hauptbestandteile ein Zugelement A und ein daran angeschlossenes Reinigungselement B auf. Das Reinigungselement B enthält im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur drei Bestandteile, nämlich eine erste Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit Bl, welche besonders zur Vorreinigung des Laufes dient. Es schließt sich dann eine Wischeinheit B2 an, welche die von der ersten Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit Bl gelösten Schmutzstoffe aufnimmt. Am Ende der Vorrichtung ist schließlich eine zweite Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit B3 angeordnet, welche besonders zur Konservierung des Laufes dient und baugleich zur ersten Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit Bl ausgeführt sein kann. This has as main components a tension element A and a cleaning element B connected thereto. The cleaning element B contains in the embodiment of the figure, three components, namely a first moistening and cleaning unit Bl, which is used especially for pre-cleaning of the barrel. This is followed by a wiper unit B2, which receives the contaminants dissolved by the first wetting and cleaning unit B1. At the end of the device, finally, a second moistening and cleaning unit B3 is arranged, which serves particularly for the preservation of the barrel and can be constructed identical to the first moistening and cleaning unit B1.
Bei der in der Figur gezeigten Ausführung weist das Zugelement A ein Kopfstück 10 mit einer Stopfhülse 11 und einer Kupplung 12 zum Anbringen eines Handgriffs auf. Dabei besteht die Stopfhülse 11 bevorzugt aus Metall, um das Einführung in einen Lauf zu erleichtern. Das sich anschließende Zugband 20 besteht bevorzugt aus einem reißfesten, möglichst wenig elastischen Seil. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the tension element A has a head 10 with a stuffing sleeve 11 and a coupling 12 for attaching a handle. In this case, the stuffing sleeve 11 is preferably made of metal to facilitate the introduction into a barrel. The subsequent drawstring 20 preferably consists of a tear-resistant, as little as possible elastic rope.
Die Abmessungen sowohl des Zugelements A als auch des Reinigungselements B sind in der Figur nur beispielhaft. Besonders die Länge der Wischeinheit B2 zwischen den Einheiten Bl und B3 kann abhängig von den Abmessungen eines Gewehrlaufes variieren. Bei Bedarf kann die Anordnung auch um weitere, bürstenlose Einheiten der vorliegenden Art ergänzt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist das gesamte Reinigungselement B in Form eines bevorzugt rundgestrickten Strumpfbandes 30 ausgeführt. Die einzelnen Bereiche des Reinigungselementes B sind vorteilhaft über Stoßstellen a abgetrennt, welche bevorzugt als Abnäher, aber auch als Kupplungsstücke ausgeführt sein können. Im Bereich der Wischeinheit B2 ist das Strumpfband 30 mit Hilfe eines zusätzlichen innen liegenden stützenden Kerns 51 bevorzugt aus einem elastischen Material als ein gestreckter Wischstrumpf 50 ausgeführt. The dimensions of both the tension element A and the cleaning element B are only exemplary in the figure. In particular, the length of the wiper unit B2 between the units Bl and B3 may vary depending on the dimensions of a gun barrel. If required, the arrangement can also be supplemented by further, brushless units of the present type. Particularly advantageously, the entire cleaning element B is designed in the form of a preferably round-knit garter belt 30. The individual areas of the cleaning element B are advantageously separated via joints a, which may be preferably designed as dart, but also as coupling pieces. In the area of the wiping unit B2, the garter 30 is made of an elastic material as a stretched wiper sock 50 by means of an additional inner supporting core 51.
Bei dem in der Figur dargestellten Beispiel sind die erste und zweite Befeuchtungsund Reinigungseinheit Bl bzw. B3 vorteilhaft identisch aufgebaut, und weisen jeweils ein aufeinander folgendes Paar aus einem Befeuchtungselement 41 bzw. 61 und einem Reibungselement 42 bzw. 62 auf. Besonders vorteilhaft sind die Be- feuchtungs- und Reibungselemente 41 bzw. 61 und 42 bzw. 62 in Form von schlauchartigen Taschen 41a bzw. 61a und 42a bzw. 62a im Strumpfband 30 ausgeführt. Dabei ist jeweils ein Füllkörper 41b bzw. 61b aus einem schwammartigen, saugfähigen Werkstoff für ein Flüssigkeitsreservoir in die Taschen 41a bzw. 61a der Befeuchtungselemente 41 bzw. 61 eingelegt. Um eine Tränkung der Füllkörper 41b bzw. 61b zu ermöglichen, sind die Tasche 41a bzw. 61a mit Eingriffsöffnungen 41c bzw. 61c im Stumpfband ausgestattet. In the example shown in the figure, the first and second moistening and cleaning units Bl and B3 are advantageously constructed identically, each having a successive pair of a moistening element 41 and 61 and a friction element 42 and 62, respectively. The wetting and friction elements 41 and 61 and 42 and 62 are particularly advantageously designed in the garter 30 in the form of tubular pockets 41a or 61a and 42a or 62a. In each case, a filling body 41b or 61b of a sponge-like absorbent material for a liquid reservoir is inserted into the pockets 41a and 61a of the moistening elements 41 and 61, respectively. In order to allow impregnation of the filling bodies 41b and 61b, the pockets 41a and 61a are provided with engagement openings 41c and 61c, respectively, in the stump band.
Wie oben bereits ausgeführt, können pro Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit auch mehrere Elemente vorhanden sein. So kann beispielweise die erst Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit in Zugrichtung nach dem Zugelement z.B. ein Befeuchtungselement, ein Reibungselement und vor dem Übergang zur Wischeinheit ein weiteres Befeuchtungselement aufweisen. As already stated above, several elements can be present per moistening and cleaning unit. Thus, for example, the first moistening and cleaning unit in the pulling direction after the pulling element, e.g. a moistening element, a friction element and before the transition to the wiper unit have a further moistening element.
Bei einem Durchziehen der Vorrichtung durch einen Lauf werden die Füllkörper 41b bzw. 61b gepresst, so dass ein Teil der darin gespeicherten Flüssigkeit durch das Strumpfband 30 oder über die jeweilige Eingriffsöffnung 41c bzw. 61c nach außen treten kann. Bei einer anderen, in der Figur nicht dargestellten Ausführung können an Stelle der Füllkörper 41b bzw. 61b auch mittels Druck betätigbare geschlossene Flüssigkeitsdepots, z.B. Fläschchen, eingelegt sein, welche ventilartig selbstständig wieder verschließbare Austrittsöffnungen für Reinigungs- bzw. Konservierungsflüssigkeiten aufweisen. When the device is pulled through a barrel, the filling bodies 41b and 61b are pressed, so that a part of the liquid stored therein can pass out through the garter 30 or via the respective engagement opening 41c or 61c. In another, not shown in the figure embodiment can Instead of the filling body 41b or 61b also be actuated by pressure closed liquid deposits, eg vials, be inserted, which valve-like independently again have closable outlet openings for cleaning or preservation liquids.
Bei dem in der Figur dargestellten Beispiel sind schließlich auch das erste bzw. zweite Reibungselement 42 bzw. 62 in der ersten bzw. zweiten Befeuchtungs- und Reinigungseinheit Bl bzw. B3 identisch und in Form von schlauchartigen Taschen 42a bzw. 62a im Strumpfband 30 ausgeführt. In die Taschen sind Füllkörper 42b bzw. 62b aus einem zähelastischen Werkstoff eingelegt, z.B. Kugeln aus Gummi. Deren Durchmesser sind an einen zu reinigenden Lauf derart angepasst, dass das umgebende Strumpfband bei einem Gebrauch der Vorrichtung unter Erzeugung einer Reibungskraft an die Innenseite eines Laufes gepresst wird. Die Reinigungswirkung kann weiter verbessert werden, wenn die Kugeln, wie im Beispiel der Figur bereits dargestellt ist, im Inneren der schlauchartigen Taschen beweglich sind. Finally, in the example shown in the figure, the first and second friction elements 42 and 62 in the first and second moistening and cleaning units B1 and B3 are identical and in the form of tubular pockets 42a and 62a in garter 30, respectively. In the pockets filler 42b and 62b are inserted from a viscoelastic material, such as balls of rubber. Their diameters are adapted to a run to be cleaned so that the surrounding garter belt is pressed against the inside of a barrel during use of the device generating a frictional force. The cleaning effect can be further improved if the balls, as already shown in the example of the figure, are movable inside the tubular pockets.
