Publication number: 20240271578Abstract: An internal combustion engine-based system includes an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes an engine interrupt connected to the engine. The engine interrupt is configured to selectively stop the operation of the engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a controller in communication with the engine interrupt. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a carbon monoxide detector in communication with the controller. The controller uses the engine interrupt to stop the operation of the engine when the carbon monoxide detector provides the controller with signals that are representative of a carbon monoxide level proximate the internal combustion engine that together form a trend of building carbon monoxide amounts over a set time interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: Generac Power Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. WISCHSTADT, Adam M. Schroeder, Mitchell L. HORN, Brandon SCHMIDT, Kevin COLE, Tod R. TESCH

Publication number: 20240032750Abstract: A prefilter for a filter of a vacuum device 1 includes a frame extending in an axial direction between first and second axial extents. The frame includes a base located at the first axial extent, a first cylindrical ring extending axially from the base toward the second axial extent, a plurality of ribs extending from the first cylindrical ring towards the second axial extent and defining openings between the ribs, and a second cylindrical ring portion positioned at the second axial extent of the frame. The prefilter also includes a mesh layer comprising a plurality of mesh openings, the mesh layer coupled to the frame and configured to cover the openings to prevent debris larger than a size of the mesh openings from passing therethrough. The prefilter also includes an engagement feature coupled to the frame and configured to engage the filter to fasten the frame to the filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Timothy J. Campbell, Austin F. de Veer, Adam M. Schroeder

Publication number: 20240003358Abstract: A fan assembly includes a fan housing at least partially defining an airflow chamber, a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber, a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades, and a base configured to be placed on a support surface. The base includes a stand having a foot. The fan assembly further includes a frame assembly connecting the fan housing and the base. The frame assembly is movable to adjust a height of the fan housing relative to the base, and the foot is automatically deployed in response to movement of the frame assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Adam M. Schroeder, Bradford A. Gill, Timothy J. Campbell, Austin F. de Veer
