Abstract: A connector cover is proposed that protects the web loop portion of a foresail from exposure to UV radiation. The connector cover is formed of UV-resistant material and is configured to include a tab portion that passes through the shackle and a shroud portion that wraps around the tab and web loop in a manner that maintains the cover in place. Various hook-and-loop fasteners can be used to fix the connector cover in place, as well as external ties, cording, or any other suitable type of releasable fasteners. Advantageously, the connector cover is configured to remain in place and provide protection, but is also easy to remove and replace as necessary.

Abstract: An apparatus for lubricating or cleaning a drive chain during a maintenance operation is configured as an enclosure that is inserted over a mounted chain. The apparatus disperses lubricant/cleaning solvent to specific locations through channels formed within the enclosure. The channels are strategically located within the enclosure to ensure that the applied material is directed to specific locations along the chain. A conventional lubricant/solvent is introduced through one or more inlet ports formed in the enclosure, the inlet port(s) coupled to the internal channels to properly distribute the material.
