Patent number: 11730093Abstract: A system assists during execution of a sequence of cuttings in a tree, wherein, during a cutting sequence, a first cut in the tree is followed by a second cut in the tree At least a part of an ideal course of the second cut depends on at least a part of a course of the first cut. An identification device identifies at least the part of the course of the first cut in the tree. A precalculation device precalculates at least the part of the ideal course of the second cut in the tree based on the identified part of the course of the first cut. An output device outputs cutting information for executing the second cut based on the precalculated part of the ideal course of the second cut.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.

Patent number: 10717206Abstract: A power saw system has a power saw with housing; guide bar; and saw chain driven about the guide bar by an electric drive motor. A battery is arranged outside of the housing. A power cable is connected with its first end through an electrical connection to the battery and with the second end to the drive motor to supply the drive motor with power. An elastic securing element is connected by a fastening element to the housing. A connecting device connects by a mechanical connection the securing element to an operator of the power saw. The connecting device has an overload protection separating the mechanical connection between securing element and operator when a maximum pulling force is surpassed. Securing element and power cable form a cable assembly. A pull-out force for separating the electrical connection is smaller than the maximum pulling force.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.

Patent number: 10144146Abstract: The invention relates to a work device with a guide rail (4) on which a chain (5) is driven in a circulating manner. The work device has a clamping device (15) for the chain (5). The clamping device (15) has a clamping element (16) which acts on en the guide rail (4) in the direction (19) of the longitudinal central axis (18) of the guide rail (4). The clamping device (15) has a rotatably mounted adjusting element (17) which is connected to the clamping element (16) via a threaded connection (20). A rotation of the adjusting element (17) about its rotational axis (21) causes a movement of the clamping element (16) in the direction (19) of the longitudinal central axis (18) of the guide rail (4). The outer circumference of the adjusting element (17) has a threaded portion (22) with at least one turn (23), said threaded portion being provided for engaging with at least one threaded portion (24) of the clamping element (16).Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.
