Patent number: 12270389Abstract: A compressor assembly having a high velocity muffler system which produces a particle-free compressor pump feed while reducing noise output from the compressor assembly during compressing operations. The high velocity muffler system is maintenance-free and comprises an inertia filter. The compressor assembly uses a method for producing a compressor pump feed and reducing noise during compressing operations by processing a gas through the high velocity muffler system which has an inertia filter and a muffler chamber to produce a compressor pump feed which can be compressed by a pump assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Mark W. Wood, Stephen J. Vos, Scott D. Craig, Gary D. White, Dalton E. McFarland

Publication number: 20250035100Abstract: A cordless compressor has an air storage tank, a pump for pressuring air within the air storage tank, a motor driving pump, a power tool battery pack connected to the motor, a discharge port connected to the air storage tank, and a regulator disposed between the discharge port and the air storage tank. The pump can raise the air pressure within the air storage tank from 0 psi to about 135 psi in less than 135 seconds. With such arrangement, a compressor having an air pressure within the air storage tank of 135 psi set at a 70 psi setting can power an 18 gauge nailer connected to the compressor to drive more than 1200 nails on a single battery charge.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Lance S. HATHCOCK, Christina M. WILSON, Gary D. WHITE, William R. STUMPF
