  • Patent number: 12194653
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method (100) for production of a chainsaw guide bar (5). The method comprises the steps of providing (120) an elongated core plate (5) extending along a plane, and, in said plane has a length (Lc) in the longitudinal direction (D), and a width (Wc) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (D), comprising a pair of opposite long side edges (33) and at least one detachable element (31) that extends along at least one of the long side edges of the core plate. Arranging (140) a side plate (23a, 23b) on each side of the core plate (25), thereby forming a sandwiched structure and joining (160) of the plates (23a, 23b, 25) for formation of an elongated guide bar (5), wherein the at least one detachable element (31) remains attached to the core plate (25). The disclosure also relates to a guide bar (5) for a chainsaw (1).

  • Publication number: 20200307015
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a guide bar (1) for a chain saw (3) with a proximal section (7), a distal section (13), and an intermediate section (15) between the proxymal and distal sections. The periphery of the guide bar defines a saw chain guide for guiding saw chain links along a path (31) from an engagement location (27) one edge of the bar to a disengagement location on the other. The periphery of the guide bar, where the saw chain links are supported only by the guide bar periphery has a curvature which is free from abrupt changes or step-wise changes. This provides a guide bar (1) less subject to wear during use.

  • Patent number: 9205503
    Abstract: The invention relates to a saw chain depth gauge filing template (1), comprising a first flat section (2) and a second flat section (3), wherein both sections (2, 3) are made from a single piece of flat metal, especially from sheet metal, wherein the first flat section (2) has a first bearing surface (4) for a cutter link edge (5) of a saw chain (6) to be filed, wherein the second flat section (3) has second bearing surfaces (7) for a drive link (8) of the saw chain (6), wherein the second surfaces (7) are established by an linear edge (9) in which at least two incisions (10, 11; 10, 11) are machined, wherein the second flat section (3) has at least one cutout (12, 12) for a part of the saw chain (6) to be sharpened by filing. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for sharpening a saw chain by using such a saw chain depth gauge filing template. By the proposed concept filing of a saw chain becomes possible in a more precise way.
