Abstract
The present invention relates to a device (100) for sequential cleaning and lubricating a drive chain (200) of a motorcycle, which comprises a housing (10) having top and bottom casings (12, 14) connected together in such a way that the housing is partitioned into a plurality of compartments (30, 40, 50) into which the chain is enclosed. Nozzles (70) are arranged within each compartment of the housing and placed radially inwards onto the chain to supply medium onto the chain. Brushes (60) are attached in the interior of at least one of the compartments of the housing in such a way that bristles (60a) of the brushes are positioned towards and in contact with the chain. At least one drain trap region (14a) is formed inside the bottom casing of each compartment of the housing to collect and drain the residue of medium. Such device achieves reliable and efficient cleaning and lubrication of the drive chain by rapid transferring of cleaning and lubricating material from multiple directions.
