Patent number: 11110585Abstract: A hand tool comprising a head portion, a shaft, and a grip component is provided. The grip component and the shaft form a handle of the hand tool. The grip component is a reverse-molded component formed by: forming the external portion of the grip component by molding a first thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material or thermoplastic urethane (TPU) material into a shell that surrounds a first cavity; after forming the external portion; placing the shaft into the first cavity; and, after the external portion is formed and the shaft is placed into the first cavity, forming the inner portion of the grip component by injecting a second TPE material or TPU material into the first cavity and onto the shaft. The first TPE or TPU material has a first level of hardness, and the second TPE or TPU material has a second level of hardness lower than the first level.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Keith Lombardi, Aliaksei Chernyshou, Thomas Pelletier, George Soria, Antony Orsini

Patent number: 10870555Abstract: A tape rule assembly includes differential spring-drive systems for rotating a reel of tape through an angular distance different from the angular distance traveled by a hub carrying a wound spring, relative to the tape rule housing. The differential spring drive systems include planetary and cycloidal drive systems. The tape rules of the present invention are thus made more compact than conventional tape rules.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Antony Orsini, Keith M.
