Benefits of technology

"This patent describes an apparatus for storing a chain saw. It includes a lower element with pegs for holding the chain, and a moveable peg on the lower element. There is also an upper element that can be moved between two positions. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy way to store a chain saw when not in use, which helps to protect the chain and ensure it is always ready for use."

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, chains are prone to breaking.
Most chain saw operators do not have the experience to repair a broken chain.
The two main issues when dealing with chain saws are storage of the chains, and the safety of the operator.
Those who work with chain saws know the danger and inconvenience of untangling a chain.
A tangled chain exposes the operator to a safety threat.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The following description of the preferred embodiment(s) is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0015] With initial reference to FIG. 1, a case for storing multiple chains for a chain saw constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention is illustrated and generally identified at reference character 10. As will become more apparent below, the case 10 contains a plurality of pegs arranged in cooperating pairs. Each pair of pegs is adapted to retain and store a chain and includes a stationary peg 12 and sliding peg 14. The construction and operation of the pegs 12 and 14 will be described further below in connection with the detail views of FIGS. 3-6.

[0016] The apparatus 10 is illustrated to generally include a base 16 and a lid 18. The base 16 and lid 18 cooperate to define an interior compartment for the storage of the chains. The lid 18 is preferably pivotally coupled to the base 16 for r...

Abstract

An apparatus for storing a chain of a chain saw includes a lower element and an upper element. The lower element includes at least one pair of pegs for receiving a chain. At least one peg of the at least one pair of pegs is moveably mounted with respect to the lower element. The upper element is pivotally coupled to the lower element for movement between an upper position and a lower position.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to chain saws. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for storing the chain of a chain saw that prevents the chain from tangling. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Chain saw operators frequently use multiple chains. This adds convenience to their work as different jobs have different cutting requirements. Multiple chain saws with different bar lengths also require different chains. Furthermore, using multiple chains allows the operator to quickly replace a dull chain. Replacing the dull chain is more efficient than trying to sharpen the dull chain. This allows the operator to complete the work faster. Furthermore, chains are prone to breaking. Most chain saw operators do not have the experience to repair a broken chain. Using multiple chains allows the operator to replace the broken chain quickly. [0003] The two main issues when dealing with chain saws are storage of the chains, and the safety of ...
