Abstract An engine unit enclosing an engine, a fuel tank, an oil tank and a chain driving system is mounted on a handle assembly consisting of a front handle, a rear handle and a handle connecting member interconnecting the front and rear handle and supporting the bottom of the engine unit through three vibration isolators made of an elastic material. The rear end of the handle connecting member is joined through a vibration isolator to the rear end of the rear handle, and the front upper end of the rear handle is joined through vibration isolator to the top of the engine unit. The upper end of the front handle is positioned in parallel with the upper end of the rear handle in the horizontal direction and joined thereto through a vibration isolator, and the lower end of the front handle is joined directly to the front end of the handle connecting member.
In a gas chain saw, a combination comprising a. an engine unit enclosing therein an engine, a fuel tank, an oil tank and a chain driving unit; b. a front handle so arranged as to surround the upper portion and one side portion of said engine unit in spaced apart relation therewith; c. a rear handle extended backwardly of said engine unit; and d. a handle connecting member attached through vibration isolators made of an elastic material to the bottom portion of said engine unit and extended backwardly thereof, the rear end of said handle connecting member being joined through a vibration isolator the rear end of said rear handle, the front end of said rear handle being joined through a vibration isolator to the upper portion of said engine unit, the upper end of said front handle being positioned in opposed relation with the upper end of said rear handle in the horizontal direction and joined together through a vibration isolator.
