Abstract: An air compressor assembly includes a compressor configured to provide a source of compressed air and a manifold assembly removably coupled to the compressor and configured to distribute the compressed air to one or more pneumatic tools. The manifold assembly is configured to be coupled to the compressor via an air conduit when the manifold assembly is detached from the compressor so that the manifold assembly is operable at a location remote from the compressor.

Abstract: An air compressor assembly with one or more of the following features: a removable manifold assembly capable of being remotely located from the air compressor assembly for controlling and distributing compressed air from the air compressor assembly to one or more air powered tools, a lifting handle, a handle capable of assuming a plurality of positions, condensate removal devices, and a stable base and tie-down points.

Abstract: A manifold assembly is provided for controlling and distributing compressed air from an air compressor to one or more air powered tools. The manifold assembly may be attached directly to the air compressor, or, alternately, removed from the air compressor and coupled thereto via an air conduit, e.g., an air hose or the like, so that the manifold assembly can be used at locations remote from the air compressor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an air compressor assembly including a lifting handle. An air compressor assembly suitable for lifting includes an air reservoir suitable for storing compressed air under pressure, the reservoir having a front-end portion, a rearward portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion. A lift handle assembly suitable for use in lifting the air compressor assembly is at least partially disposed on at least one of the first and second side portions. In an additional aspect of the present invention, an air compressor assembly suitable for lifting includes an air reservoir suitable for storing compressed air having a first end portion and a second end portion. A wheel assembly suitable for transporting the air compressor assembly is disposed on the second end portion of the air reservoir.

Abstract: A portable air compressor of the type having a horizontal compressed air storage tank is disclosed wherein the air compressor includes a stable base having a width at least substantially equal to the diameter of the compressed air storage tank. The air compressor may further include tie-down points for securing the air compressor to a platform.
