Abstract

An elongate tubular handle having a knurled exterior wall is arranged to include one of a plurality of tools, to include a pick as well as a plurality of scraping tools to permit access to various remote portions of a handgun during a cleaning procedure.

Claims

1. A handgun cleaning tool kit, comprising,

an elongate tubular handle, having a handle first end and a handle second end, with the handle including a knurled exterior wall surface oriented between the handle first end and the handle second end, and the handle symmetrically oriented about a handle axis,

and

an internally threaded socket directed into the handle first end,

and

a plurality of tools, including a first tool having a first tool threaded boss arranged for selective reception within the socket, and a first tool shank integrally directed from the first tool threaded boss, and a pick member having a pick member tip, with the pick member oriented at an oblique angular orientation relative to the first tool shank,

and

the tool members including at least a second tool, having a second tool scraping plate mounted to a second tool shank, wherein the second tool shank includes a second tool threaded boss arranged for reception within the socket,

a storage housing mounted integrally to the second end, with the storage housing including a door plate hingedly mounted to the storage housing for reception of at least one of said tool members therewithin.

2. A tool kit as set forth in claim 1 wherein the handle includes a first tubular portion separably mounted relative to a second tubular portion, with the first tubular portion including the storage housing, and a threaded plug integrally mounted to the first tubular portion spaced from the storage housing, and the second tubular portion including a second tubular portion internally threaded bore spaced from the socket, with the internally threaded bore arranged for receiving the threaded plug therewithin, wherein the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion are coaxially aligned along a predetermined axis.

3. A tool kit as set forth in claim 2 wherein the second tubular portion includes a fluid reservoir oriented between the internally threaded receiving bore and the socket, with a first connecting conduit arranged in fluid communication between the fluid reservoir and the internally threaded receiving bore to permit replenishment of fluid within the fluid reservoir through the first connecting conduit, and a second connecting conduit arranged in fluid communication between the fluid reservoir and the socket, and a gate valve plate reciprocatably mounted through the second connecting conduit, and a gate valve plate cavity arranged for receiving the gate valve plate, and the gate valve plate arranged to include a cavity floor mounted within the gate valve plate cavity, with a spring interposed between the cavity floor and the gate valve plate, the gate valve plate having an opening directed through the gate valve plate, wherein the opening is displaced relative to the second connecting conduit in the first position, and the opening is arranged for alignment with the second connecting conduit in a second depressed position of the gate valve plate.

4. A tool kit as set forth in claim 3 wherein the second tubular portion includes a resilient plunger and a reservoir wall interposed between the plunger and the reservoir, and a check valve interposed within the reservoir wall, whereupon compressing of the plunger against the reservoir wall effects pressurizing of the fluid reservoir to direct fluid through the second connecting conduit and the gate valve plate opening.

5. A tool kit as set forth in claim 4 wherein the first tool shank includes a first tool shank conduit extending through the first tool shank and through the first tool threaded boss for fluid communication with the second connecting conduit when the second tool shank is received within the socket, and the first tool shank conduit including a valve member mounted within the first tool shank conduit to permit selective fluid flow through the first tool shank conduit, and the pick member having an annular array of fluid outlet ports in fluid communication with the first tool shank conduit, with the annular array of fluid outlet ports arranged in a spaced orientation relative to the tip of the first tool.
