Publication number: 20080305387Abstract: A battery pack with a housing, at least one battery cell contained within the housing, a first terminal and a second terminal. The housing includes a substantially ovoidal surface which is substantially symmetric about a first axis of symmetry and a second axis of symmetry which is transverse to the first axis. The surface has first and second substantially linear terminal openings. The first opening extends substantially parallel to and is non-coincident with the first axis, while the second opening extends substantially parallel to the second axis. The first and second terminals are disposed within the housing adjacent to the surface. The first terminal is accessible through first opening and the second terminal is accessible through the second opening. A device for using the battery pack is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2008Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Christopher Murray, Terry Turner, Tracine Andrus, Vince Cooper, Lyle Matson, Thomas Murray, Adam O'Hern, Michael Cannaliato, David M.

Publication number: 20060091177Abstract: A fastening tool including a contact trip mechanism having a trigger block. The contact trip mechanism is moveable to a retracted position. The fastening tool also includes a slider member connected to the trigger block and a link member adjustably coupled to the slider member. The fastening tool further includes a lockout pin movable between a first position and a second position. The lockout pin in the first position decouples the slider member and the link member and holds the trigger block in a blocked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2004Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: Michael Cannaliato, Terry Turner, Luis Guanzon, Richard Heavel, Thomas Wheeler
