  • Patent number: 11291339
    Abstract: A modular vacuum system includes a first and second canister of different capacities that are configured to store debris. The modular vacuum system also includes first and second power heads that can be coupled to either the first or second canisters. The first and second power heads operate at different voltages that generate a first and second suction airflow. The first and second canisters store debris separated from the first and second suction airflow. The first and second canisters also store debris separated only from the first suction airflow.

  • Patent number: 11262055
    Abstract: A utility light mountable to a workpiece. The light includes a main body having a length extending between a first end and a second end, a light assembly, and a battery. The battery is removably coupled to the first end. The light further includes a first handle coupled to the second end and a second handle movably coupled to the first handle. The second handle is linearly extensible relative to first handle along a direction perpendicular to the length between a retracted position and an extended position. In the extended position, an opening is defined between the second handle and the main body. The opening is configured to receive the workpiece to support the utility light when the handle is in the extended position. The light assembly is disposed above the battery and below the first handle with respect to a direction along the length of the main body.

  • Publication number: 20210348744
    Abstract: A battery-powered utility light mountable to a workpiece comprising a main body and a plurality of lights coupled to the main body. Each of the plurality of lights are independently movable relative to the main body. The utility light further includes a first mode actuator that is configured to cycle one of the plurality of lights through a plurality of lighting modes and a second mode actuator that is configured to cycle a different one of the plurality of lights through a plurality of lighting modes separately from the other plurality of lights. The utility light further includes a hooking element that is moveably coupled to the main body between an open position, in which the workpiece is permitted to be received in an opening, and a closed position, in which the workpiece is inhibited from being removed from the opening. The opening is disposed between the main body and the hooking element.

  • Publication number: 20210293400
    Abstract: A light includes a housing with a front face, a first face oriented at a first oblique angle with respect to the front face, and a second face oriented at a second oblique angle with respect to the front face. The light also includes a light source with a plurality of LEDs arranged to emit light from the front face, and a power source configured to provide power to the light source. The second oblique angle is different than the first oblique angle. The first face and the second face each define a surface configured to support the light. The first face includes two legs spaced from one another, and the second face includes two legs spaced from one another.

  • Publication number: 20210244107
    Abstract: An article of clothing comprising an electronic button assembly including an interface having a face and a base. The face defines a face periphery including a first top edge, a first bottom edge, a first right edge, a first left edge, a first lower slanted corner, and a first upper slanted corner. The base defines a base periphery extending beyond the face periphery on all sides to provide structural support to the face. The base periphery has a shape complimentary to a shape of the face periphery. A heater is electrically coupled to the electronic button assembly. An outer shell is coupled to the electronic button assembly. The outer shell has an outer surface and sewing edges folded inwardly and defining a shell opening receiving the interface. A shape of the shell opening follows the shape of the face periphery. The base is disposed beneath the outer shell.

  • Patent number: 11033059
    Abstract: An article of clothing and method of assembly. The article of clothing includes a button assembly with an interface having a first edge and a second edge. An outer shell is coupled to the button assembly. The outer shell defines a first opening for receiving the interface and having a border. A frame defines a second opening for receiving the interface and is positioned between the button assembly and the outer shell with the first opening and the second opening being substantially aligned. A portion of the outer shell folds over the frame, and the frame inhibits the border of the outer shell from pulling away from at least one of the first edge and the second edge of the interface.
