Patent ID: 7788837

Claim:
A device for inserting into a bore of a cylinder to be treated, and for displacing along said bore for removing residual debris from an inner surface of said bore, via an application of cleaning solvent onto said inner surface from the device, the device comprising: an elongated outer casing having a peripheral outer surface, and opposite front and rear ends, the casing being shaped and sized for inserting into the bore and for displacing along said bore; a distribution assembly mounted onto the rear end of the casing, the distribution assembly having an inlet for receiving cleaning solvent and an outlet positioned for distributing cleaning solvent onto the inner surface of the bore when the device is inserted into said bore; a container comprising a supply of cleaning solvent, the container having a valve operatively connected to the inlet of the distribution assembly for supplying cleaning solvent from the container to said distribution assembly, the valve of the container being operable between a closed configuration where cleaning solvent is prevented from exiting the valve of the container, and an opened configuration where cleaning solvent is released from the valve of the container and transmitted to the outlet of the distribution assembly via the inlet thereof; and a triggering assembly operatively connected to the valve of the container, said triggering assembly being mounted about the casing and having a detecting component for detecting when the device is inserted into the bore of the cylinder, so as to thus trigger the valve of the container from the closed configuration into the opened configuration, for supplying the distribution assembly with cleaning solvent to be distributed onto the inner surface of the bore of the cylinder to be treated.
