Shotgun cleaning shell device

Abstract

A Shotgun Cleaning Shell for cleaning the bore of a shotgun comprising: a shell case, a head connected to an end of the case, a seal connected to the other end of the case, a cord contained in the case wherein the cord is connected to a bead, at least one first cleaning member circumscribing the cord, a spacer member connected to the cord and contiguous the bead, a tubular member coupled to the spacer member, at least one second cleaning member and at least one squeegee circumscribing the coupling between the spacer member and the tubular member, and a propellant device attached to the head which propels the bead through a bore of a shotgun. A method of using the shotgun cleaning shell, comprising: loading a shell in a shotgun, firing the shotgun, and drawing the contents of the shell through the bore of the shotgun.

1 . A method of using a shotgun cleaning shell device, comprising: 
 loading a shotgun with a shotgun cleaning shell;    wherein the shotgun cleaning shell includes a bead coupled to a plug with a cord;    firing the shotgun, wherein the bead and cord are propelled through a bore of the shotgun; and    engaging the cord and drawing the plug through the bore of the shotgun.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further including engaging a cleaning material with the plug, the cleaning material being drawn through the bore of the shotgun with the plug.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plug includes a lip and a tubular member extending outwardly therefrom.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein a gas is flowed through the tubular member in response to firing the shotgun, the gas propelling the bead and cord through the bore.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the cleaning material cleans the bore of the shotgun and coats it with oil.  
   
   
       6 . A Shotgun Cleaning Shell for cleaning the bore of a shotgun, wherein the shell comprises: 
 a cylindrical shell case;    a head connected to an end of the case;    a seal connected to an end of the case opposite the head;    a bead contained within the case;    a cord wherein an end of the cord is connected to the bead;    at least one first cleaning member, wherein the at least one first cleaning member circumscribes the cord;    a spacer member connected to an end of the cord opposite the end of the cord which is connected to the bead;    a tubular member coupled to an end of the spacer member, wherein the bead is contiguous an end of the spacer member opposite the end of the spacer member coupled to the tubular member;    at least one second cleaning member, wherein the at least one second cleaning member circumscribes the area adjacent the coupling between the spacer member and the tubular member;    at least one squeegee, wherein the at least one squeegee circumscribes the area adjacent the coupling between the spacer member and the tubular member; and    a propellant device attached to the head and within the tubular member, wherein the propellant device propels the bead through a bore of a shotgun, the bead exiting the bore.    
   
   
       7 . The shell of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one squeegee comprises two squeegees.  
   
   
       8 . The shell of  claim 6 , wherein a user can draw the at least one first cleaning member, the at least one second cleaning member and the at least one squeegee through the bore of the shotgun.  
   
   
       9 . The shell of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one first cleaning member comprises a cleaning wad.  
   
   
       10 . The shell of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one second cleaning member comprises at least a bore scrubber pad.  
   
   
       11 . The shell of  claim 10 , wherein the bore scrubber pad has a larger diameter than the cylindrical shell case.  
   
   
       12 . A Shotgun Cleaning Shell for cleaning the bore of a shotgun, wherein the shell comprises: 
 a cylindrical shell case;    a head connected to an end of the case;    a bead contained within the case;    a cord wherein an end of the cord is connected to the bead;    a spacer member connected to an end of the cord opposite the end of the cord which is connected to the bead;    a tubular member coupled to an end of the spacer member;    a plurality of cleaning members, wherein the plurality of cleaning members circumscribe at least one of the cord, the spacer member and the tubular member;    wherein the bead is contiguous an end of the spacer member opposite the end of the spacer member coupled to the tubular member; and    a propellant device attached to the head, wherein the propellant device propels the bead through a bore of a shotgun, the bead exiting the bore.    
   
   
       13 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the tubular member further comprises a lip which prevents the plurality of cleaning members from sliding off.  
   
   
       14 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of cleaning members comprises at least one squeegee.  
   
   
       15 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein a user can draw the plurality of cleaning members through the bore of the shotgun.  
   
   
       16 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of cleaning members comprises a cleaning wad.  
   
   
       17 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of cleaning members comprises a bore scrubber pad.  
   
   
       18 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of cleaning members comprise a gun oil wad.  
   
   
       19 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein at least some of the plurality of cleaning members comprise a felt pad.  
   
   
       20 . The shell of  claim 12 , wherein the spacer member comprises a ring which separates at least one of the plurality of cleaning members from the remaining plurality of cleaning members.
