Cleaning device for barrel of paintball gun

A cleaning assembly for a paintball gun barrel, comprising:

• a first shaft having longitudinal axis and extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion;
• a second shaft having a longitudinal axis and extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion;
• a connector having openings at opposite ends of the connector configured to receive the proximal portions of the first and second shafts therein;
• a sleeve slidably coupled over the second shaft and coaxial with the second shaft, the sleeve having a distal edge that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the second shaft;
• a cap member having a circular outer perimeter and pivotably coupled to the distal portion of the second shaft via a pin that extends through the distal portion of the second shaft and a pair of walls of the cap member disposed on opposite sides of the distal portion of the second shaft, the cap member having an angled edge configured to engage the distal edge of the sleeve, the cap member configured to pivot between a first orientation where the circular outer perimeter extends along a plane that is spaced from and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second shaft and a second orientation where the circular outer perimeter extends along a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second shaft;
• and
• a torsion spring coupled to a surface of the cap member and a surface of the second shaft and configured to exert a force on the cap member to bias the cap member to the first position,
• wherein sliding the sleeve toward the distal portion of the second shaft causes the distal edge of the sleeve to engage the angled edge of the cap member to pivot the cap member from the first orientation toward the second orientation against the force of the torsion spring, and wherein sliding the sleeve toward the proximal portion of the second shaft causes the distal edge of the sleeve to disengage from the angled edge of the cap member, causing the torsion spring to bias the cap member to the first orientation, the circular outer perimeter of the cap member extending distally of a distal end of the second shaft when in the first orientation.
