A device for applying oil on a chain of a two-wheeler, such as a bicycle (10), comprises: a container for the oil to be applied; an outlet through which the oil may exit from the container; and an applicator configured to repeatedly open and close the outlet during a movement of the device relative to the chain in the longitudinal direction of the chain so that the oil located in the container is applied incrementally to the chain.

A system for maintaining the operating condition of a machine is provided. The system includes a dispensing device having: an interchangeable control module, the interchangeable control module including control hardware that provides a central processing unit, a data storage memory, and communication modules. The dispensing device is configured to dispense lubricant in order to maintain the operating condition of the machine. The interchangeable control module is configured to interchangeably control and interchangeably reside in either a fixed or a portable dispensing device. The interchangeable control module communicates to an external or internal intermediary computing device. The interchangeable control module includes interface hardware for facilitating with at least one condition monitoring sensors, and based on measurements received from the at least one condition monitoring sensor, the interchangeable control module determines the amount or type of lubricant required, and creates a maintenance action to be completed.

A lubricant sheet comprises a blank of material folded along a fold line into a folded configuration to form a lubricant containment pocket; a lubricant in the lubricant containment pocket; and a primary barrier for the lubricant. The primary barrier extends around and seals the lubricant containment pocket to hold the lubricant in the lubricant containment pocket. The blank of material includes a fold of material along the fold line forming a secondary barrier for the lubricant. When the lubricant in the lubricant containment pocket is being compressed during shredding of the lubricant sheet so as to cause some of the lubricant to be released through the primary barrier, the secondary barrier is configured to deflect the released lubricant that is released towards the secondary barrier.
