Articulated lock for a saw rope

An articulated lock for a saw rope (5), comprising a first articulated member (1;

• 21) having a sleeve-shaped region for receiving an end of the rope (5) and a connection region (6;
• 26) formed of two, spaced from each other cheeks (7, 8;
• 27, 28) having coaxial bores (11;
• 31) a common axis of which extends perpendicular to a longitudinal extent of the first articulated member (1;
• 21);
• a second articulated member (2;
• 22) having a sleeve-shaped region for receiving another end of the rope (5), and a connection region (9;
• 29) formed as an eye-shaped portion having opposite side surfaces (13;
• 33) and a through-opening (12;
• 32) and extending into a space defined by inner, facing each other surfaces (14;
• 34) of the two cheeks (7, 8;
• 27, 28) of the connection region of the first articulated member (1;
• 21);
• and a joining bolt (10;
• 30) extending through the bores (11;
• 31) of the two cheeks (7, 8;
• 27, 28) and the through-opening (12;
• 32) of the eye-shaped portion for pivotally connecting the first and second articulated members (1, 2;
• 21, 22) with each other, the through-opening (12;
• 32) of the eye-shaped portion having, at least in a region of both side surfaces (13;
• 33), a diameter exceeding a diameter of the joining bolt.
