Abstract
A saw chain holder for sharpening a chain with a bar mounted sharpener comprises a base plate and a cover plate removably attachable to the base plate. The base plate has a first base side surface, an opposite second base side surface, a groove extending into the first base side surface, and a base recess extending into the second base side surface. The cover plate has a first cover side surface, an opposite second cover side surface, and a cover recess extending into the second cover side surface. The cover plate is movable into an assembled state in which the first cover side surface abuts the first base side surface. The chain is movable along the groove between the base plate and the cover plate and the bar mounted sharpener is mounted in both the base recess and the cover recess and is positioned over the groove.

A saw chain holder with a bar mounted sharpener for sharpening a chain, comprising:
- a base plate having a first base side surface, an opposite second base side surface, a groove extending into the first base side surface, and a base recess extending into the second base side surface;
- and
- a cover plate removably attachable to the base plate and having a first cover side surface, an opposite second cover side surface, and a cover recess extending into the second cover side surface, the cover plate is movable into an assembled state in which the first cover side surface abuts the first base side surface, the chain is movable along the groove between the base plate and the cover plate, and the bar mounted sharpener is mounted in both the base recess and the cover recess and is positioned over the groove, and
- a spacer positioned between the base plate and the cover plate, wherein, in the assembled state of the saw chain holder with the spacer, the chain is movable along a gap between the base plate and the cover plate and the gap is a sum of a thickness of the groove and a thickness of the spacer.
