DEBARKING CHAIN QUICK CHANGE FITTING

摘要

This invention pertains to chains in general and in particular to chains used for removing the bark from logs by flailing or beating. The chain is attached to a hook fixed to the rotating drum. A link of the chain is attached to the hook through a series of lineal, rotational, and transitional movements so that the link is less likely to disengage by random movement of the chain during the debarking operation. This allows individual chains to be removed without removal of the attachment rod and all the chains on the cylinder.
