Patent number: 9180472Abstract: A sprayer can include a sprayer body, a reservoir coupled to the sprayer body, a cleaning fluid reservoir coupled to the sprayer body and a pump assembly arranged within the sprayer body and coupled to the reservoir and the cleaning fluid reservoir. The pump assembly can include a pump barrel that defines a central aperture, a piston arranged within the central aperture, a solenoid coupled to the piston and configured to reciprocate the piston within the central aperture during operation of the sprayer, and a manifold assembly coupled to the pump barrel and including a valve member movable between a first position and a second position. The valve member can fluidly couple the central aperture with the reservoir in the first position and fluidly couple the central aperture with the cleaning fluid reservoir in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Jamie S. Munn, Graeme Crawley, James D. Marshall, Stacey Black, Oleksiy P. Sergyeyenko, Robert J. B. Hobden, Corey D. MacTavish

Publication number: 20130298735Abstract: A ratcheting wrench that includes a ratchet structure having an annular body, a ratchet body, a one-way clutch and a socket wheel. The ratchet body is received in the annular body of the ratchet structure and defines a socket wheel aperture. The one-way clutch couples the ratchet body to the ratchet structure and permits rotation of the ratchet body in the annular body about a first axis in a first rotational direction and inhibits rotation of the ratchet body in the annular body about the first axis in a second, opposite rotational direction. The socket wheel is received in the socket wheel aperture and coupled to the ratchet body for rotation about a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, the socket wheel having a plurality of tool members that are spaced circumferentially apart from one another about a first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Inventors: Robert J.B. Hobden, Jamie S. Munn, Martin Heckmann, Corey D. MacTavish, William G. Harman, David C. Campbell

Patent number: 8312794Abstract: A ratcheting wrench having ratchet structure, a ratchet body, a socket wheel, and a ratchet clutch. The ratchet body is received into the ratchet structure and is rotatable about a first axis. The socket wheel is received in an aperture in the ratchet body and includes a plurality of tool members that are spaced circumferentially apart from one another about a second axis that intersects the first axis but is not coincident with the first axis. The ratchet clutch is configured to control relative rotation between the ratchet structure and the ratchet body about the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Robert J. B. Hobden, Jamie S. Munn, Martin Heckmann, Corey D. MacTavish, William G. Harman, Jr., David C. Campbell, Gregory R. Krier

Patent number: 8141460Abstract: A ratcheting wrench having ratchet structure, a ratchet body, a socket wheel, a plurality of ratchet teeth and at least one pawl. The ratchet body is received into the ratchet structure and is rotatable about a first axis. The socket wheel is received in an aperture in the ratchet body and includes a plurality of tool members that are spaced circumferentially apart from one another about a second axis that intersects the first axis but is not coincident with the first axis. The ratchet teeth and the at least one pawl cooperate to control relative rotation between the ratchet structure and the ratchet body about the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Robert J. B. Hobden, Jamie S. Munn, Martin Heckmann, Corey D. MacTavish, William G. Harman, Jr., David C. Campbell, Gregory R. Keier

Publication number: 20110198414Abstract: A sprayer that delivers a pattern of paint that can be obtained from a container. The sprayer generally includes a sprayer body that emits the pattern with the paint. The sprayer also includes a reservoir including a cavity that when connected thereto provides the paint to the sprayer body. The reservoir includes a cylinder and a piston assembly manually movable in the cylinder to draw the paint into the cylinder when the reservoir is connected to the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2010Publication date: August 18, 2011Inventors: Jamie S.

Patent number: 6574831Abstract: A latching mechanism for an upright vacuum cleaner which allows an upright handle to be quickly and easily detached and reattached to an independently usable powerhead of the vacuum cleaner. The latching mechanism includes a pair of attachment portions formed at a lower end portion of the upright handle which cooperate with a pair of recesses formed in a housing of the powerhead. A foot actuated release lever allows the user to detach the upright handle only when the handle is in an upright orientation. The design of the attachment portions and the recess, in connection with the release lever, prevent the handle from inadvertently being installed backwards on the powerhead, as well as from being inadvertently detached from the powerhead without first depressing the release lever.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Murray D. Hunter, Oleksiy P. Sergyeyenko, Corey D. MacTavish, David M. Shaver, Jacob R. Prosper
