CHAINSAW SAFETY FEATURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627664 titled 'CHAINSAW SAFETY FEATURE

The abstract of the patent application describes a chainsaw with a guide bar, a chain driven by a motor, a handle, a speed controller, and a momentary switch that controls the motor speed.

  • The chainsaw includes a guide bar for stability and precision.
  • A chain is wrapped around the guide bar and can move relative to it.
  • A motor is connected to the chain to drive it around the guide bar.
  • The chainsaw has a handle for easy operation.
  • A speed controller adjusts the motor speed for different cutting tasks.
  • A momentary switch restricts or allows the speed controller to function based on its state.

Potential Applications: - Forestry and logging operations - Landscaping and tree maintenance - Construction and demolition projects

Problems Solved: - Provides precise cutting control - Enhances safety by allowing speed adjustment - Increases efficiency in cutting tasks

Benefits: - Improved cutting accuracy - Enhanced user safety - Increased productivity in various applications

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Chainsaw for Enhanced Cutting Control" This technology can be used in the forestry, landscaping, and construction industries to improve cutting precision and efficiency. It can also be marketed to DIY enthusiasts for home improvement projects.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the momentary switch enhance the operation of the chainsaw? 2. What are the advantages of having a speed controller in a chainsaw?


Original Abstract Submitted

A chainsaw including a guide bar; a chain disposed around the guide bar and movable relative to the guide bar; a motor operably coupled to the chain to drive the chain about the guide bar; a handle; a speed controller in communication with the motor to affect a motor speed; and a momentary switch, wherein the momentary switch restricts actuation of the speed controller when the momentary switch is in a resting state, wherein the momentary switch allows actuation of the speed controller when the momentary switch is in an activated state, wherein the momentary switch comprises a base rotatably coupled to the handle and an articulated arm rotatably coupled to the base, and wherein the momentary switch is biased to the resting state.
