Publication number: 20260144357Abstract: According to examples, a spine for a harness system may include an inner plate having a set of locking notches arranged along a first direction and a rail extending in the first direction. The spine may also include an outer plate having a channel and a hinged locking element having a tab to selectively engage the set of locking notches. The length of the spine may be varied by varying the locking notch into which the tab of the hinged locking element is engaged. By varying the length of the spine, the distance between a shoulder member and a belt member of the harness system may be changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2024Publication date: May 28, 2026Applicant: BLACK & DECKER, INC.Inventors: Daniel MCGUINNESS, YiCai WEI, Randall J.

Patent number: 12612914Abstract: A compressor system can include a lubricant injection system useful to supply lubricant to an airend. The compressor system can include a variable lubricant flow valve which can be regulated by a controller on the basis of operating conditions of the compressor system. In one form the compressor system also includes an oil separator and/or an oil cooler with or without a thermal control valve. The controller can have one or more modes of operation, including a mode in which the controller regulates the flow of lubricant to the airend to Increase an internal flow area of the valve when the airend is operated at an unloaded or loaded condition. In some forms the controller can regulate the lubricant flow valve and/or the thermal control valve and/or the lubricant cooler.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2024Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand Industrial U.S., Inc.Inventors: Michael Borkowski, Kelton C. Sprinkle, Michael O. Brewer, Stephen Dickinson, Ryan D. Hartman, Daniel McGuinness

Patent number: 10801500Abstract: A separation tank useful to separate a compressed gas from a byproduct of compression (such as a lubricant/coolant used in the compression process) can include one or more baffles. The baffles used in the separation tank can include a number of passages to permit a flow of compressed gas to pass. The passages can include a louver to assists in directing the flow and/or assist in further separation of the compressed gas from the lubricant/coolant. The louvers can appear on one side of the baffle, and in one form are located solely on the downstream side of the baffle. The baffle can include a relief for liquid leveling within the tank. Any number of approaches can be used to make the baffle, including cutting and/or stamping.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand Industrial U.S., Inc.Inventors: Mallikarjun Jambigi, Tippanna Badiger, Daniel McGuinness
