Patent number: 11298793Abstract: A compact multi-material cut-off tool includes a housing, and an arbor rotatably supported by the housing upon which a cutting disk is attachable for co-rotation therewith. A motor is coupled to the arbor to provide torque thereto. A controller is operable to selectively drive the motor in a first rotational direction and an opposite, second rotational direction. A first lighting element is coupled to a first portion of the housing, and a second lighting element is coupled to a second portion of the housing. One of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the first rotational direction. The other of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the second rotational direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: TECHTRONIC CORDLESS GPInventors: Ronald C.

Publication number: 20110182754Abstract: An air compressor includes a housing assembly and a compressor system positioned substantially within the housing assembly. The compressor system is operable to compress ambient air. The air compressor also includes a tank positioned substantially within the housing assembly in communication with the compressor system to receive pressurized air from the compressor system. The tank has a generally flattened spherical shape with a diameter and a width that is less than the diameter. The tank is oriented generally vertically within the housing assembly such that the diameter represents a height of the tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2009Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: Adam Gathers, Ryan Peloquin, William E. Sadkowski, Joseph Schultz
