Abstract
An apparatus to remove a rivet from a chain saw chain. The apparatus includes a body with a recess in the body. A partially threaded opening is formed at one end of the body and extends to the recess. An anvil can be located in the recess. There is a slot in the anvil of predetermined width to contact a saw chain of predetermined pitch. A bolt is received in the partially threaded opening and a punch member is received in the opening. The punch member abuts the bolt to extend to the recess. Thus, tightening of the bolt extends the punch into the recess and the punch can thus be driven to break the head of a rivet in a saw chain. Preferably the apparatus includes a spinner to allow forming of a rivet in a saw chain. The apparatus is easy to use, easy to transport and, in particular, can be used easily on the job site.
Claims16
Apparatus to remove a rivet from a chain saw chain comprising:
- a body;
- a recess in the body;
- an at least partially threaded opening at one end of the body extending to the recess;
- an anvil to be located in the recess;
- a plurality of slots in the anvil, each slot of predetermined width to contact a saw chain of predetermined pitch;
- a bolt to be received in the at least partially threaded opening;
- a punch member to be received in the opening to abut the bolt to extend into the recess whereby tightening of the bolt extends the punch into the recess.
Apparatus to remove a rivet from a chain saw chain comprising:
- a body;
- a recess in the body;
- an at least partially threaded opening at one end of the body extending to the recess;
- an anvil to be located in the recess;
- a slot in the anvil of predetermined width to contact a saw chain of predetermined pitch;
- a bolt to be received in the at least partially threaded opening;
- a punch member to be received with a close fit within the at least partially threaded opening to abut the bolt to extend into the recess whereby by tightening of the bolt extends the punch into the recess;
- two narrowed ends of differing sizes on the punch member to act as a punch, each to punch out rivets of different sizes;
- and
- a recess in the bolt to accommodate the narrowed ends of the punch member.
