Abstract
A sport grip cleaning unit to be used at the location of the sporting activity. The cleaning unit consists of a vending operation under the control of the user. The unit consists of a two compartment cabinet whereby the user is able to control the cleaning action of the unit by the insertion of the sporting apparatus handle into the unit whereby the grip handle butt depresses a micro-switch activating the cleaning brushes. This action also causes the cleaning fluid pump to activate whereby the cleaning fluid floods the cleaning area to lubricate and flush accumulated grime, grit, and oils into the drain system where it is filtered and recycled. Thus the grip is restored to its desired tacky, firm hold condition. The sport grip cleaning unit includes a cleaning fluid reservoir that is removable from the unit for replacement with a new reservoir of cleaning fluid. In this manner, the cleaning unit is self-contained and can be easily serviced.
