DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED INVENTION

[0012] While this technology is illustrated and described in a preferred embodiment a chainsaw workbench for safely controlling of chainsaws for cutting and sawing of items may be produced in various shapes, sizes, colors, and configuration. There is depicted in the drawings, and will herein be described in detail, as a preferred embodiment of the invention, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and the associated functional specifications for its construction and is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possible variations within the scope of the technology described herein.

[0013] FIG. 1 illustrates a top perspective view of a chainsaw workbench 100 for safely controlling of a chainsaw during sharpening activities in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The chainsaw workbench 100 includes a base 102 to be placed on a fixed support; a first elevation platform 104a and a second elevation platform 104b are attached on the base 102 to rest the engine and handle that is coupled to the engine of the chainsaw.

[0014] The chainsaw workbench 100 includes a first mount 106a extending upwards from the base 102 along the edge of the first elevation platform 104a and a second mount 106b extending upwards from the base 102 along the edge of the second elevation platform 104b. The distance in between the first mount 106a and the second mount 106b is sufficient enough to receive the blade of the chainsaw. The blade of the chainsaw rests on the first mount 106a and the second mount 106b.

[0015] Examples of the fixed support include but not limited to a table, floor, or any other flat surface to firmly hold the chainsaw workbench. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base 102 and the first elevation platform and the second elevation platform are made up of wood. To help the bench 100 stabilize on a table there is a stabilizing lip 108 extending downward so that it will catch along an edge of the table in a known way that is understood by those skilled in the art.

[0016] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the chainsaw workbench 100 may include a tool box (not shown) placed on the base to store tools required for sharpening the blades of the chainsaw. Examples of the items include but not limited to branches, trees, logs, kitchen knife, files, gauges, and other utility tools etc. The blade and chainsaw are shown and explained in FIG. 2 of the present invention.

[0017] FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a chainsaw workbench 100 for safely controlling of the chainsaw 200 during sharpening activities in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The chainsaw handle 204 rests on the first elevation platform 104a.

[0018] Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications of the subject invention will, however, become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawings which disclose the preferred embodiments thereof. All such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention, which is to be limited only by the claims which follow.
