Patent number: 11937762Abstract: A vacuum tool configured to be removably coupled to hose or wand of a vacuum includes a body including a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The vacuum tool also includes a head coupled to the first end of the body, a connection portion coupled to the second end of the body and configured to couple the body to a hose or wand of a vacuum cleaner, and a brush coupled to the head. The brush includes an elongate support defining a second axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body and configured to couple the brush to the head, and a plurality of bristles positioned on the elongate support.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Kyle Reeder, Ellen M. Owens, Jonathan Lowry, Alexander J. Goodman, Christopher J. Metcalf, Scott T. Moeller

Publication number: 20220322899Abstract: A vacuum tool is configured to be removably coupled to a hose or wand of a vacuum. The vacuum tool comprises a first portion, a second portion, a flexible portion and a mechanical joint. The first portion and the second portion are connected by the flexible portion and coupled by the mechanical joint, so these portions are in fluid communication from various angles. And the mechanical joint comprises a detent and multiple recesses coupled to the detent. As a result, a user can use the vacuum tool in various situations more conveniently by bending the mechanical joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Kyle Reeder, Ellen M. Owens, Jonathan Lowry, Alexander J. Goodman, Christopher J. Metcalf, Scott T. Moeller

Publication number: 20220290680Abstract: A fan assembly includes a fan housing including a shroud that at least partially defines an airflow chamber, a battery receptacle supported on the shroud, a first grille positioned adjacent a first end of the airflow chamber, a fan supported within the airflow chamber and rotatably coupled to one of the first grille or the shroud, and a motor supported on the other of the first grille or the shroud. The motor is operable to drive rotation of the fan and thereby generate airflow through the airflow chamber. The fan assembly further includes a base coupled to the fan housing. The base is operable to support the fan housing in multiple configurations to direct the airflow in multiple directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Christopher J. Metcalf, Israel Amador, Nathan P. Liepert, Christopher S. Spaulding, Alexander J. Goodman, Timothy J. Campbell

Publication number: 20220290679Abstract: A battery powered fan assembly includes a fan housing that at least partially defines an airflow chamber, a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber, a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades, a battery receptacle configured to receive a removably battery pack to power the motor, and a base assembly configured to be placed on a support surface. The base assembly includes a first frame segment coupled to the fan housing, a second frame segment pivotally coupled to the first frame segment, and a third frame segment pivotally coupled to the second frame segment. The base assembly is configured to be collapsed into a storage configuration in which each of the first, second, and third frame segments are folded onto each other and expanded to a first deployed configuration in which the fan housing is elevated above the support surface by a first height.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Christopher S. Spaulding, Alexander J. Goodman, Austin F. de Veer, Ellen M. Owens, Scott T. Moeller, John S. Scott, Timothy J. Campbell, Jules F. Miller, Christopher J. Metcalf

Publication number: 20220290690Abstract: A battery powered box-type fan assembly includes a fan housing that at least partially defines an airflow chamber, a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber, a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades, a battery receptacle positioned on the fan housing, the battery receptacle configured to receive a removable battery pack to power the motor, and a base coupled to the fan housing and configured to be placed on a support surface. The base elevates the fan housing above the support surface and is operable to support the fan housing in multiple configurations. The base also includes a stand pivotable relative to the fan housing between a collapsed position, in which the stand is flipped up toward the fan housing, and a deployed position, in which the stand extends away from the fan housing and is configured to contact the support surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Christopher S. Spaulding, Alexander J. Goodman, Austin F. de Veer, Ellen M. Owens, Scott T. Moeller, John S. Scott, Timothy J. Campbell, Jules F. Miller, Christopher J. Metcalf

Publication number: 20220290693Abstract: A battery powered fan assembly for use with a stackable storage system includes a base defining a storage area, a fan housing that at least partially defines an airflow chamber, a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber, a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades, a battery receptacle configured to receive a removable battery pack to power the motor, a mating interface formed on at least one of the base and the fan housing, and a latch mounted to the base. The mating interface is configured to interact with a complementary mating interface formed on a stackable element of the stackable storage system, and the latch is configured to selectively inhibit relative movement between the fan assembly and the stackable element while the mating interface of the fan assembly interacts with the complementary mating interface of the stackable element.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Christopher S. Spaulding, Alexander J. Goodman, Austin F. de Veer, Ellen M. Owens, Scott T. Moeller, John S. Scott, Timothy J. Campbell, Jules F. Miller, Christopher J. Metcalf

Publication number: 20210296710Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a single battery pack inverter that reduces cost and improves user experience at a worksite. Single battery pack inverters described herein provide a housing, a battery pack interface provided on a first surface of the housing to receive a power tool battery pack, an output interface provided on a second surface of the housing for powering external devices, and an inverter circuit in the housing for converting direct-current (DC) power from the power tool battery pack to alternating-current (AC) power provided at the AC outlet. The single battery pack inverters also include a hanging hook provided on the housing and configured to be pivotable between a first position and a second position. The hanging hook enables the single battery pack inverter to hang onto a support when the hanging hook is in the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Alexander J. Goodman, Andrew Lentz
