  • Publication number: 20250091191
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing enclosing a motor and a sensor. The sensor is configured to control operation of the motor. The power tool includes an output device driven by the motor, a mount coupled to the sensor, and an actuator removably coupled to the mount. The actuator is slidable along the mount to couple the actuator to the mount.

  • Publication number: 20250091179
    Abstract: A power tool comprising a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a battery, a head coupled to the housing, a transmission, a shift actuator, and a spring lever. The housing includes a battery receptacle configured to receive the battery. The motor includes a motor shaft driven by the motor about a first axis. The battery powers the motor. The head containing a ratchet mechanism, which is configured to drive an output drive about an axis orthogonal to the first axis. The transmission is configured to transmit rotation from the motor shaft to the ratchet mechanism and is shiftable between a high-speed, low-torque configuration and a low-speed, high torque configuration. The shift actuator is positioned partially within the housing and is moveable along an axis parallel to the first axis. The spring lever is coupled to the head and transmits motion from the shift actuator to the transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240399545
    Abstract: A ratchet assembly is configured to rotate a fastener in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. The ratchet assembly includes a yoke, a drive, a left pawl, a right pawl, and a shuttle assembly. The yoke defines a fastening hole. The drive is rotatably coupled to the yoke and is supported in the fastening hole. The left pawl is supported in the yoke and is biased toward the drive by a first biasing member. The right pawl is supported in the yoke and is biased toward the drive by a second biasing member. The shuttle assembly is rotatably supported in the yoke between the left and right pawls and selectively engages the left and right pawl. The directional knob is coupled to the shuttle assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240186845
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a rotor assembly including a rotor shaft, a rotor body fixedly coupled to the rotor shaft, and a plurality of magnets coupled to the rotor body. The electric motor also includes a stator assembly at least partially received within the rotor body. The stator assembly includes a stator mount including a stator support portion and a motor support portion. The stator assembly also includes a stator core assembly fixedly supported by the stator mount, the stator core assembly defining a central bore that receives the rotor shaft and the stator support portion. The electric motor also includes a bearing having an outer race and an inner race, the outer race being supported by the stator core assembly, and the inner race supporting the rotor shaft for rotation relative to the stator assembly. The stator core assembly further defines a bearing pocket adjacent to the central bore.

  • Publication number: 20230321797
    Abstract: A powered ratchet tool includes a housing with a battery receptacle, a motor within the housing with an output spindle driven about a first axis, a battery configured to be coupled to the battery receptacle to power the motor, a head pivotably coupled to the housing and configured to pivot with respect to the housing about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and between a plurality of discrete orientations, the head including a ratchet mechanism driven by the output spindle and an output drive coupled to the ratchet mechanism and configured to rotate about an output drive axis, and a locking mechanism moveable between a first position, in which the head is locked in one of the plurality of discrete orientations with respect to the housing, and a second position, in which the head freely pivots between the plurality of discrete orientations about the second axis.

  • Patent number: 9222429
    Abstract: A control system for a gaseous-fueled engine is disclosed. The gaseous-fueled engine may have an intake valve mechanically driven by a camshaft. The control system may have a variable valve timing device configured to adjust a cyclical opening and closing timing of the intake valve. The control system may further have a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a speed of the engine and a controller in communication with the variable valve timing device and the sensor. In addition, the controller may be configured to selectively initiate a first Miller Cycle timing and a second Miller Cycle timing based on the signal.

  • Patent number: 9032937
    Abstract: A fuel air mixer includes a fuel air mixing tube having an inlet, an outlet, and an inlet inner diameter. A collar is attached at the mixing tube inlet and includes a first cylindrical portion upstream of the mixing tube inlet, and a body portion encircling the mixing tube at the mixing tube inlet and forming a fuel reservoir around the mixing tube inlet. The first cylindrical portion is spaced from the mixing tube inlet to create a gap placing the fuel reservoir in fluid communication with the mixing tube inlet. The first cylindrical portion has an inner diameter that is smaller than the inlet inner diameter so air flowing through the first cylindrical portion and into the mixing tube inlet draws gaseous fuel from the fuel reservoir into the mixing tube through the gap.
