Abstract:
1. A paint ball gun cleaning device for cleaning an inside barrel of a paint ball gun, the cleaning device comprising: a. An outer tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the diameter of the outer tube is configured to permit the outer tube to be removabley inserted along the length of the inside barrel of the paint ball gun; b. An inner tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the diameter of the inner tube is configured to permit the inner tube to be movabley inserted along the length of the outer tube; c. A first compressible cleaning tip having a smaller diameter than the inside barrel, and further having at least a non-compressed state and a compressed state, the non-compressed state having a corresponding non-compressed diameter, and the compressed state having a corresponding compressed diameter, wherein the compressed diameter is greater than the non-compressed diameter; and d. A cleaning tip compression member having a smaller diameter than the inside barrel, and further having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the cleaning tip compression member is in communication with the first end of the inner tube and constrains the position of the first compressible cleaning tip in the proximity of the first end of the outer tube, the cleaning tip compression member is further configured to be in communication with the side of said first compressible cleaning tip that is distal from the inner tube, and may be actuated to induce a compression state change in the first compressible cleaning tip when the inner tube is longitudinally retracted relative to the outer tube, thereby selectively inducing the non-compressed state and the compressed state.
