Weapon Cleaner

Abstract

A weapon cleaner includes one or more of a pressurized gas source, a release valve, a chamber for dispensing a solvent, and a means for directing a pressurized flow wherein any of these components may be included in a dispenser.

1 . A weapon cleaner comprising:
 a valve that interconnects a fluid source and an ejector;   a flow path including the fluid source, the valve, the ejector and conveyances therebetween;   in an operation carried out by hand, the ejector removably located adjacent to a bolt carrier group of the weapon; and, the fluid including a suitable solvent for removing contaminants adhering to internal weapon surfaces, the solvent present in the flow path;   wherein operation of the weapon cleaner provides a cleaning flow directed at the weapon bolt.   
     
     
         2 . A magazine form dispenser for cleaning a weapon comprising:
 a body with an upper portion shaped for insertion and fitment into the magazine well of a weapon;   the body fitted with a pressure source, a valve, and an ejector; and,   the valve interconnected between the pressure source and an ejector outlet;   wherein when the dispenser is inserted in the magazine well of a weapon with a retracted bolt operation of the valve directs a flow from the pressure source at one or more of a) a face of the bolt and b) the chamber/barrel in order to clean the bolt.   
     
     
         3 . A weapon cleaner comprising:
 a dispenser in the form of a magazine for fitment into the magazine well of a weapon; and,   the dispenser incorporating a tank that holds a fluid for cleaning weapon internal parts.   
     
     
         4 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 3  wherein cleaning weapon internal parts includes cleaning a weapon bolt. 
     
     
         5 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 4  wherein the fluid is a pressurized fluid that provides a pressure source. 
     
     
         6 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 5  further comprising:
 a valve that interconnects the pressure source and an ejector; and, 
 a flow path from the pressure source that includes the valve and the ejector. 
 
     
     
         7 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 6  wherein during use the weapon cleaner is inserted in a weapon and in an operation carried out by hand the ejector is removably located adjacent to a bolt carrier group of the weapon. 
     
     
         8 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 6  wherein the fluid is suitable for removing contaminants adhering to internal weapon surfaces. 
     
     
         9 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 8  wherein during operation the weapon cleaner makes weapon malfunctions less likely. 
     
     
         10 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 8  wherein during operation the weapon cleaner provides a cleaning flow directed at surfaces of a weapon chamber leading to the barrel. 
     
     
         11 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 8  wherein the fluid is one or more of a solvent, a propellant, or a gas. 
     
     
         12 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 8  wherein the fluid includes a solvent. 
     
     
         13 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 3  wherein the tank is between a valve and an ejector. 
     
     
         14 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 13  further comprising a fluid fill line connected to the tank. 
     
     
         15 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 3  wherein the ejector includes the tank. 
     
     
         16 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 15  further comprising a fluid fill line connected to the tank. 
     
     
         17 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 3  wherein an ejector is configured to dispense fluid for cleaning a weapon bolt, a bolt carrier group, and parts that are adjacent to the bolt carrier group. 
     
     
         18 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 17  wherein the fluid is one or more of a solvent, a propellant, or a gas. 
     
     
         19 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 18  wherein operation of the weapon cleaner provides a cleaning flow directed at a face of the bolt. 
     
     
         20 . The weapon cleaner of  claim 19  further comprising one or more nozzles for directing fluid dispensed by the ejector.
