ABSTRACT:
A bicycle chain lubricating device includes a housing (10) with an elongated channel (17) extending therethrough, and a lubricant hole (16) extending between an exterior surface of the housing and the channel. A set of brushes (19) are mounted within the channel. The housing is separable into upper and lower housings (11, 12) along the channel for receiving a portion of a bicycle chain (30) therebetween. An anchoring hook (24) extending from the housing anchors it to the bicycle. In use, the chain is moved through the channel by cranking the pedals backwardly, and a lubricant (32) is introduced into the lubricant hole. As the chain is moved through the channel, the brushes distribute the lubricant along the chain. Because all the lubricant is efficiently directed at the chain, only a minimal amount of lubricant is needed. The housing confines the lubricant therein to keep the bicycle and the surrounding area clean.
