Appl. No.:

10/621994

International Classification:

C23C002/00

US Classification:

148527000, 428616000

Abstract:

A fabrication pad for metallurgical material that is electron beam or laser welded to at least one end of the metallurgical material. The fabrication pad is formed of a monometallic material or other suitably chosen and can be welded to a bi-metal strip to provide a fabrication contact area when the bi-metal strip is utilized in an industrial application. The fabrication pad eliminates the need for plating as an aid to fabrication and eliminates damage to the metallurgical material caused by fabrication activities directly on the metallurgical material. The assembly improves calibration and provides a consistent mechanical output. When used in an electrical circuit breaker, the assembly provides a consistent thermal active length and consistent thermal activities.

Abstract:

A chain saw safety improvement is disclosed. Enclosed in a hollow guide bar is a link positioning device which moves the links on the chain into a cutting or safety position. This device is spring tensioned and normally in the safety position. The chain links themselves are pivotable and scythe-shaped, the tips acting as safety tails. When the link positioning device is in its normal safety position, it pushes the safety tails, moving the links into a noncutting position. When tension is manually released by the operator, the links may move into their cutting position.
