Abstract
A chain lubricant applicator apparatus attaches to a container of lubricant. Three wicking pads define a channel for passage of a chain to be lubricated, and apply lubricant to the chain rollers and side plates of the chain. The side wicking pads may be retained in place by a retaining feature such as small serrations or teeth. A valve in the housing regulates lubricant flow from the lubricant container to the wicking pads.
