  • Publication number: 20060175215
    Abstract: A chain saw case has an adjustable scabbard that telescopes to allow for different lengths of chain bar. The scabbard also has an opening along one side to allow visibility of the side of the chain saw bar and any markings, including branding, on the chain saw bar. The chain saw case is designed to be fabricated using injection-molding techniques. Because the scabbard collapses, and the injection molded case offers ample space not afforded in all existing blow molded chain saw cases, the scabbard can be placed inside the case during shipment reducing shipping cost and space required while in distribution.
