Publication number: 20230264312Abstract: A dust collector for use with a hand-held power tool. The dust collector includes a housing, a motor positioned in the housing, and a telescoping suction pipe coupled to the housing. The dust collector also includes a suction fan coupled to the motor and operable to generate a vacuum in the suction pipe. The dust collector further includes a dust container coupled to the housing and positioned upstream of the suction fan, and a filter at least partially arranged in the dust container. The dust collector also includes a filter cleaning mechanism including a solenoid configured to be actuated by a controller to dislodge dust from the filter when either the motor or the suction fan transitions from an active state to an inactive state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Daryl S. Richards, Joseph R. Beeson, Daniel Simmons

Publication number: 20230208077Abstract: A power tool including a housing that has a battery pack receiving portion configured to receive an interface of a battery pack, device contacts extending from the housing and configured to mechanically and electrically engage with the battery pack, and a latching mechanism supported by the housing and including an actuator and a latch member configured to selectively engage the interface of the battery pack. The actuator is pivotable to operatively pivot the latch member.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: John G. Marx, Kyle J. Radovich, Jeffrey M. Wackwitz, Andrew D. Van Hoorn, Joseph R. Beeson, Troy C. Thorson, Nathan Bandy

Patent number: 11673217Abstract: A dust collector can be used with a hand-held power tool. The dust collector includes a housing, a telescoping suction pipe coupled to the housing, and a suction fan positioned within the housing and operable to generate a vacuum in the suction pipe. The suction pipe is configured to telescope toward and away from the housing. The suction pipe includes an outer pipe supported by the housing, and an inner pipe slidably received into the outer pipe.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Daryl S. Richards, Joseph R. Beeson, Daniel Simmons

Patent number: 11571796Abstract: A rotary hammer is adapted to impart axial impacts to a tool bit. The rotary hammer comprises a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a gearcase, and a spindle housed in the gearcase and coupled to the motor for receiving torque from the motor, causing the spindle to rotate. The rotary hammer also comprises a reciprocating impact mechanism operable to create a variable pressure air spring within the spindle. The rotary hammer also comprises a vibration damping mechanism including a base on the gearcase, a counterweight circumscribing the base, and a first spring arranged between the base and the counterweight and defining a first biasing axis that is parallel to the reciprocation axis. The vibration damping mechanism also includes a second spring arranged between the base and the counterweight and arranged along the first biasing axis.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Tyler Young, Joseph R. Beeson

Publication number: 20220111476Abstract: A dust collector for use with a power tool comprises a housing, a telescoping suction pipe coupled to the housing, a suction fan positioned in the housing and operable to generate a vacuum in the suction pipe, a dust container coupled to the housing and positioned upstream of the fan, a filter at least partially arranged in the dust container, and a filter cleaning mechanism. The filter cleaning mechanism includes an anvil, a striker moveable between a first striker position, in which the striker is spaced from the anvil, and a second striker position, in which the striker is in contact with the anvil. The filter cleaning mechanism further includes an actuator moveable between a first actuator position and a second actuator position, in which the actuator is moved closer to the anvil than in the first position, and a first spring biasing the striker toward the anvil.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Joseph R. Beeson, Daryl S. Richards, Tyler S. Sigafoose, Cheng Liang Zhang
