  • Patent number: 8419379
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a compressor. The compressor has an air pump and a tank configured to store air compressed by the air pump. The compressor is configured to be used while in an operating position in which the tank is in an upright position. In the upright position, the tank has a vertical cylindrical side surface and a rounded top surface. A storage case is configured to be removably mounted on top of the tank in a mounted position in which the case engages both the top surface and the side surface of the tank at different locations selected so as to prevent the case from sliding off the tank when a horizontal force in any horizontal direction is applied to the tank urging the case to slide off the tank.

  • Patent number: 7556478
    Abstract: A control device is provided for use with a pneumatic pump for generating output pressure, a pressure sensor for indicating the level of the output pressure, and an input device for receiving a target pressure level input by a user. The control device is configured to monitor the sensed output pressure during a pressurizing condition in which the pump provides increasing output pressure. The control device is further configured to maintain the pressurizing condition while the level of the sensed output pressure increases past the target pressure level, and to terminate the pressurizing condition in response to the sensed output pressure increasing to a level that exceeds the target pressure level by a predetermined differential value.
