Definitions
- This invention relates to a motor chain saw with a chain brake arrangement comprising a kick brake and a coasting brake that via a link arm mechanism are acting on a brake lever that is pivotally arranged on a shaft directly or indirectly fixed to a chain saw base structure, said brake lever being connected to a brake band acting on a brake drum which is drivingly connected with the outlet shaft of the motor.
- Fig. 1 is a front view showing the brake arrangement in its disengaged state whereas Fig. 2 and 3 is a plan view and a rear view of the brake in the position shown in Fig.l
- Fig 4 is a front view of the arrangement when the brake is activated by the coasting brake
- Fig. 5 and 6 is the corresponding plan view and rear view
- Fig. 7 is a front view of the arrangement when it has been activated by the kick brake
- Fig. 8 and 9 is the corresponding plan view and rear view.
- a chain saw is in a conventional way provided with an electric motor 10 that rotates an outlet shaft 11 that via a transmission and a sprocket wheel (not shown) drives the saw chain around the saw bar.
- the outlet shaft 11 is also provided with a brake drum 12 that is surrounded by a brake band 13 having one end fixed to a base structure 14 of the chain saw whereas the other end of the brake band is secured to a first end of an elongated brake lever 15.
- the brake lever is at its mid part turnably arranged about a shaft 16 that is fixed to the base structure 14 whereas the second end of the lever 15 is turnably secured to a link arm mechanism that comprises a first and a second arm 17 and 18 resp.
- the first arm 17 is at one end coupled to said lever 15 whereas it at its other end via a dowel 19 is turnable connected to one end of the second arm 18 which is shorter than the first arm.
- the dowel 19 is preferably under the influence of a spring (not shown) that creates a force F that pushes the dowel downwards in Fig. 1.
- the other end of the second arm is turnably connected to a slider 20 that is movable sideways in Fig. 1 in a guide 21 arranged at the base structure.
- the link arm mechanism constitutes a knee shaped structure that can be turned such that the connection between the first and second link arm in one "locked" position rests against an abutment surface 22 on the slider 20 whereas the connection part can be released from this position by a triggering arrangement that is connected to a conventional turnable hand protector (not shown) arranged at the chain saw and that applies an upwardly directed force in Fig. 1 on the dowel 19 when the hand protector is activated.
- the arrangement also comprises a tension spring 23 of the helical type. One end of this spring is secured to the slider 20 whereas the other end is in engagement with the brake lever 15 close to the turning connection between the lever 15 and the first arm 17.
- the tension spring 23 encloses a coaxial compression spring 24 of the helical type .
- One end of the compression spring 24 rests against a seat 25 that is a part of the base structure 14 whereas the other end rest against the slider 20.
- the slider 21 is linearly movable in the guide 21 by means of an element 26 that by means of a mechanical transmission (not shown) is connected to a throttle knob arranged in the operating handle of the chain saw.
- the arrangement operates in the following manner.
- the brake is not activated as appears from Fig. 1-3 since the throttle knob is depressed thereby keeping the slider 20 is in its right hand position in Fig. 1. Consequently the forces from the throttle knob will be transferred to the slider 20 and further to the second and first arms 18 and 17, which are in the locked position where they engage the abutment surface 22, as well as to the brake lever 15.
- the upper part of the lever is in a right hand position in Fig. 1 whereas the lower part is in a left hand position causing the brake band 13 to be out of engagement with the brake drum.
- the compression spring 24 is in its compressed state.
- the throttle knob is released to stop the motor after switching off the drive motor the situation is such as shown in Fig. 4-6.
- the slider 20 has been moved to the left hand position by means of the compression spring 24 since the opposite force created by the throttle knob transmission has ceased.
- the forces from the compression spring 24 are transferred to the second and first link arms 18 and 17 and further to the brake lever 15 such that the upper part of the lever is moved in the left hand direction whereas the lower part of the lever 15 is moved in the right hand direction causing the brake band 13 to be tightened around the brake drum 12 such that the chain is stopped from running.
- the kick brake becomes activated in order to immediate stop the chain from running the situation is such as shown in Figs. 7-9.
