Publication number: 20230219028Abstract: A power tool having a power tool housing, a motor, a tool moved relative to the housing by the motor, a fan rotated by the motor such that a fluid flow with debris generated by tool is moved into the fluid inlet by the fan and through the discharge outlet, and a filter that is removably attached to the power tool housing. The power tool housing includes a fluid inlet and a discharge outlet. The filter includes a filter media for separating the debris from the flow of fluid. The filter media defines a collection container for storing the debris. The filter also includes an opening through which the flow of fluid with the debris enters the collection container, and a valve that is moveable between a closed position, in which the opening is closed, and an open position, in which the opening is open. The valve includes a duckbill check valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Paul Fry, Thomas G. Simeone, Robert Patrick Warren, Roderick Burgess, Joseph M. Lehman, Garry Fee, Michael Bloom, William Jacob Kozlowski, Jr., Steven Marcus, Scott T. Moeller, John S. Scott, Samuel A. Gould, Bennett W.

Patent number: 11672389Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner includes a housing, motor, filter access door, filter, and dirt cup movably coupled to the housing. The housing defines a top, bottom, motor chamber, dirty air inlet, handle, clean air outlet, and air flow path. The air flow path is routed from the dirty air inlet to the clean air outlet. The motor is disposed in the motor chamber and defines a motor axis. The filter access defines a filter chamber with the housing. The filter is disposed in the filter chamber and defines a filter axis. The dirt cup defines a dirt cup axis extending parallel to the motor axis and filter axis. The filter access door is located below the filter axis. When the filter axis door is removed, the filter is removable in a downward direction from the filter chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Techtronic Floor Care Technology LimitedInventors: Kevin Terry, Roderick Burgess, Jacob W.

Patent number: 11607637Abstract: A power tool includes a power tool housing including a fluid inlet and a discharge outlet. A motor is supported by the power tool housing. A tool is configured to be moved relative to the housing by the motor. A fan is configured to be rotated by the motor, such that a fluid flow with debris generated by movement of the tool is drawn into the fluid inlet and through the discharge outlet. A filter is removably attached to the power tool housing. The filter includes a filter media configured to separate the debris from the flow of fluid. The filter media includes a collection container configured to store the debris. The filter also includes an opening in the filter media through which the flow of fluid with the debris enters the collection container, and a valve that is moveable between a closed position and an open position.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Fry, Thomas G.

Patent number: 10792606Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a vacuum cleaner and removably attachable filter. The filter is configured to separate debris from a flow of fluid drawn through the suction inlet. The filter includes a housing forming a first volume and a filter media forming a second inner volume. The filter media is coupled to the housing such that the first and second inner volumes together at least partially define a collection container configured to store debris separated by the filter media from the flow of fluid. The filter further includes an inlet opening that extends through the housing to provide fluid communication into the collection container such that the flow of fluid with the debris can flow into the collection container such that the flow of fluid with the debris can flow into the collection container and a relatively clean flow of fluid exits through the filter media.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: TTI (Macao Commercial Offshore) LimitedInventors: Roderick Burgess, Robert Patrick Warren, Joseph M.
