Patent number: 10934022Abstract: A method for lifting a wing of an aircraft. A plurality of lifting assemblies is attached to a mounting ring supporting the wing. A first plurality of base assemblies is attached to a plurality of fittings connected to the fuselage of the aircraft. The plurality of lifting assemblies is moved away from the first plurality of base assemblies using a plurality of biasing systems correspondingly attached to the plurality of lifting assemblies, the moving causing the mounting ring to move away from the fuselage. The first plurality of base assemblies is removed. A second plurality of base assemblies is attached to the plurality of fittings. Thereafter, moving the plurality of lifting assemblies away from the second plurality of base assemblies using the plurality of biasing systems is repeated, the repeating moving causing the mounting ring to move away from the fuselage to the first height.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David E. Scheerer, Patrick F. Joyce

Patent number: 7797791Abstract: A vacuum is provided with a removable filter tray that allows a user to access the filter without having to disassemble the vacuum. The filter can then be changed or cleaned and easily replaced without disassembly of the vacuum.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Paul S. White, Michael P. Kunz, Gregg L. Sheddy, Stuart J. Wright, Spencer G. Maid, David E. Scheerer

Patent number: 7762349Abstract: A multi-speed drill includes a housing with a motor including an output member. A constant mesh parallel axis transmission can be disposed in the housing and can include a high speed and low speed gears. A clutch member can be associated with the low speed gear. A conical spring can bias the low speed gear and the clutch member together for torque transfer up to a predetermined torque level. Above the predetermined level, cam surfaces between the low speed gear and the clutch member move them apart, thereby limiting torque transfer to the output spindle. In the high speed mode the torque transfer between the input pinion and the output spindle bypasses the clutch member. The maximum torque level capable of being generated at the output spindle in the high speed mode can be less than the predetermined torque level.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Paul K. Trautner, David E. Scheerer, James D. Schroeder, Dennis A. Bush

Patent number: 7588399Abstract: A power driver may include a housing, a tool chuck and a power take off mechanism. The tool chuck may have an input shaft mounted for rotation on the housing. The input shaft may support chuck jaws. A chuck actuating shaft may be mounted for rotation on the input shaft. The power take off mechanism may be connected to the tool chuck. The power take off mechanism may be adjustable into a DRILL DRIVE MODE to rotationally drive the input shaft and the chuck actuating shaft together as a unit, and a CHUCK MODE to use the transmission shaft to rotationally drive the chuck actuating shaft relative to the input shaft. The transmission shaft may be a gear shaft axially aligned with the input shaft, or a tertiary shaft axially offset from the input shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Daniel Puzio, Paul K. Trautner, David E. Scheerer, Jim D. Schroeder

Patent number: RE47361Abstract: A method and apparatus may be present for moving a wing. A plurality of lifting assemblies may be attached to a first plurality of channels in a ring associated with the wing of an aircraft. A plurality of base assemblies may be attached to a plurality of fittings with a second plurality of channels associated with a fuselage of the aircraft. The plurality of lifting assemblies may be moved away from the plurality of base assemblies using a plurality of biasing systems such that the ring may move away from the fuselage.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: William Elmer Rumberger, Jr., Patrick F.
