A battery is removably received in the second space.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications regarding battery pack charging status. One charging system includes a battery charger and an external device. The battery charger includes a housing, a battery pack interface, a wireless communication controller, and a charger controller. The charger controller receives status information associated with power tool battery packs and transmits the status information to an external device. The external device includes a display and an external device controller. The external device controller receives the status information from the charger controller and controls the display to display the status information via a user interface.

Abstract: A charging module removably receives and recharges a plurality of battery packs for use with power tools. The charging module includes a housing that has a plurality of charging bays spaced about the housing. Each of the charging bays removably receives a battery pack. A light is coupled to the housing and illuminates a space surrounding the charging module. The light illuminates a space above or below and surrounding the charging module.

Abstract: A charging module is configured to be removably coupled to a mobile work cart. The charging module includes a housing having a first end, a second end, a front side, and a rear side. The housing defines a cavity in the front side and includes a charging bay located within the cavity. The charging bay is configured to removably receive a battery pack to electrically connect the battery pack to the charging module. The charging module also includes a clamp coupled to the rear side of the housing. The clamp includes a handle portion and an arm. The clamp is movable relative to the housing between a deployed position and a retracted position. The clamp is biased toward the retracted position. The housing defines a recess in the rear side. When the clamp is in the retracted position the arm is received within the recess.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A transportable machine including an elongated frame having a top end and a bottom end, a handle disposed on the top end of the frame, a base disposed on the bottom end of the frame, where the base and the frame together define a space configured to receive and support a load, and a wheel disposed on the bottom end of the frame. A track is coupled to the frame, where the track includes a roller and an endless belt configured to rotate about the roller. A motor is coupled to the roller, where the motor is operable to drive the endless belt, and a power supply provides power to the motor.

Abstract: An attachment for a vacuum cleaner includes a head, a brush roll, an electric motor, and an attachment conduit. The head includes a suction opening, a brush roll cavity, and a battery cavity defined therein. The brush roll cavity is in fluid communication with the suction opening. The battery cavity has an elongate shape and a first longitudinal axis. The brush roll is rotatably coupled to the head. A majority of the brush roll is disposed within the brush roll cavity. The brush roll is rotatable about a rotational axis. The electric motor is disposed within the head. The electric motor drives the brush roll. The attachment conduit is in fluid communication with the suction opening. The attachment conduit is coupled to the head and has a second longitudinal axis. Each of the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis is angled relative to the rotational axis.

Abstract: A menstrual cup for collecting menstrual fluid. The cup comprises a resilient body further comprising upstanding sidewalls between an open top and a closed bottom and defining an internal cavity for holding the menstrual fluid. The resilient body is biased to an open configuration and has a rim along an edge of the open top. There are spaced-apart longitudinal ribs on one or both of an outer wall surface and/or an inner wall surface of the upstanding sidewalls, and spaced-apart indentations on the inner wall surface. Application of a force at a point of contact on the outer wall surface deforms indentations and the upstanding sidewalls, and thereby releases the menstrual cup from the vaginal canal.
