Patent number: 12212170Abstract: A rechargeable battery assembly includes a rechargeable battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and a rigid electrically conductive frame electrically connected to at least one of the positive terminal or the negative terminal of the rechargeable battery. The rigid electrically conductive frame is bent along multiple axes and includes a plurality of conductive frame members that are mechanically coupled together. The rigid electrically conductive frame surrounds the rechargeable battery on at least five sides, thereby providing structural stability to the rechargeable battery assembly during storage and use.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2023Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: The NOCO CompanyInventors: Jonathan Lewis Nook, William Knight Nook, Sr., James Richard Stanfield, Derek Michael Underhill

Patent number: 8888016Abstract: A pressure washer device is provided that employs an unloader bypass valve that directs a selective amount of fluid via a small diameter bypass line back to a water storage tank. The small amount of fluid allows for the pump to remain working and introduces cooler water into a bypass circuit, thereby allowing the thermal relief valve to be omitted. The diameter of the bypass line is of such a diameter to prevent siphonage of the detergent associated with the pressure washer system into the water storage tank as well.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Karcher North America, Inc.Inventors: Paul W. Linton, Derek Knight
