Abstract: A b-b loading device which in a first preferred embodiment is characterized by a tubular-shaped loader having an internal cavity, a loading slot located near one end of the loader and a loading head characterized by a nozzle and nozzle bore at the opposite end, with a pair of flexible loading guides disposed adjacent to and spanning the nozzle and nozzle bore in the loading head for loading b-b's from the loader into a b-b gun. The b-b's are dispensed through the nozzle bore from the housing cavity and are guided into an opening in the gun barrel by means of the loading guides. In a second preferred embodiment the b-b loading device is characterized by a detachable loading head which is threaded to a bottle for coating the b-b's and in a third embodiment, the b-b loading device includes a loading head which is removably attached to a hollow, b-b-containing cylinder fitted with a pocket clip.

Abstract: A safety bar for chain saws which includes a bar latch pivotally mounted on the chain saw frame above the chain bar and having a protective bar projecting from the bar latch and extending the length of the chain and chain bar. The projecting bar protects the user in the event the saw suddenly recoils and dislodges the user's grip on the handle while in use. The safety bar mechanism permits the safety bar to automatically pivot upwardly as cutting is accomplished from the top to the bottom of a saw stock, and is capable of being pivotally manipulated to the underside of the chain saw when it is desired to cut from the bottom to the top of the stock.
