Abstract
A rope severing guard is engageable around a rope or flexible member to protect it from severing by a chainsaw cutting chain. The guard has a flexible body having a rope passage through which a protected rope is positioned. An interior cavity in the body of the rope severing guard is filled flexible fibers which if contacted by a moving cutting chain of a chainsaw, will form clogging engagements with the cutting chain and the chain support it moves upon or with the cutting chain and the motor drive gear powering it.
Claims6
A rope severing guard apparatus, comprising:
- a body, said body having a first side surface formed of flexible material and a second side surface formed of said flexible material opposite the first side surface;
- an interior cavity formed between said first side surface and said second side surface;
- said interior cavity extending for a length in-between a first end of said flexible body and a second end of said flexible body;
- said interior cavity filled with a plurality of elongated fibers;
- said flexible body positionable to a folded configuration;
- said flexible body in said folded configuration forming a passage running therethrough, from said first end of said body to said second end of said body;
- said passage configured for positioning of a rope therein;
- said elongated fibers positioned in said interior cavity when placed in a communication with a moving cutting chain of a chainsaw which has severed said flexible material forming said first side surface or said second side surface of said body, forming one or a plurality of clogging engagements with said cutting chain, whereby each said clogging engagement prevents further movement of said cutting chain;
- mating fasteners positioned on said flexible body, said mating fasteners positionable to a removable engagement with each other;
- and
- said removable engagement holding said flexible body in said folded configuration.
