Abstract:
1. A pole saw apparatus comprising: a pole with end adapter; a blade-holding component pivoted to the end adapter for movement between an extended use position and a handle-adjacent storage position; and a saw blade attached to and supported by the blade-holding component; wherein the end adapter defines a pivot axis offset from and perpendicular to a longitudinal centerline of the pole; wherein the saw blade is also pivoted to the blade-holding component for movement between an extended use position and a blade-protected storage position; wherein the blade-holding component includes a recess for receiving and protecting a cutting edge of the saw blade; and wherein the saw blade includes a tip that extends away from the pole when the blade-holding component and saw blade are in the extended use positions, respectively, but the tip is nearer the pole when the saw blade is pivoted to the storage position.
