  • Patent number: 4615117
    Abstract: An attachment for greatly increasing the versatility of a conventional chain saw is capable of being mounted to a wide variety of chain saw models. The attachment is mounted to the chain saw in place of the usual chain bar. The attachment includes a rotatable spindle which may be driven through a roller chain or a V-belt drive. The spindle is adapted to drive tools such as abrasive wheels and drills. The attachment includes a housing which pilots and holds such equipment as water pumps, the impellers of which are rotated by the attachment spindle. The invention includes a sliding guard to which is mounted a chain tightening device. The guard is secured at a location which depends on the chain saw housing size so as to permit the adjustment device to bear against the chain saw housing, thereby imparting controlled tension to the driving chain or belt.
