  • Patent number: 5174029
    Abstract: A mechanism for tensioning the chain of a chain saw. The apparatus includes a cutting bar around which the chain extends. The cutting bar has a base portion mounted to an operating housing of the chain saw, and a distal portion carried by the base portion at an end thereof remote from the housing. The distal portion of the cutting bar is disposed for sliding extension relative to the base portion of the cutting bar. The distal portion of the cutting bar mounts a sprocket, around which the chain passes, at an outer end thereof. The sprocket is disposed for rotation about an axis. Structure is included to effect extension of the distal portion of the cutting bar relative to the base portion thereof. Tensioning of the chain saw is, thereby, accomplished.
