Patent number: 10982958Abstract: A laser generating device including a housing and a laser module assembly. The laser module assembly is at least partially housed in the housing. The laser module includes a pendulum assembly which rotates under the effects of gravity and a laser module on the pendulum assembly. The laser module includes a laser generator which generates a laser beam. The laser generating device also includes a pendulum lock which is movable from an unlocked position to a locked position. When the pendulum lock is in the locked position, it prevents the pendulum assembly from rotating. A sensor is provided to detect a freefall condition. The pendulum lock moves from the unlocked position to the locked position when the sensor detects the freefall condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Stanley Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Keith M. Lombardi, Ido Aharon Stern, Bruce Eidinger, Gilad Moisa

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.

Patent number: 10076846Abstract: A tool includes a housing and a slidable blade assembly configured to move between a first, second and third positions. The blade assembly is configured to receive a removable blade, such that the blade is stored within the housing when the blade assembly is in the first position, a portion of the blade extends outwardly from the housing when the blade assembly is in the second position, and the blade is completely outside of the housing when the blade assembly is in the third position, facilitating removal from the blade assembly. The housing comprises a guide path associated with movement of the blade assembly. The guide path includes a first path portion associated with the blade assembly being in the first position or the second position, and a second path portion associated with the blade assembly being in the third position, the first and second path portions being noncontiguous.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Eric Ranieri, Keith M. Lombardi, Kenneth W. Strickland, Cajan Lin, John Parente
