Publication number: 20210307262Abstract: An in-line blower having a housing with a substantially straight airflow path. A motor and fan are positioned within the airflow path, below the handle of the blower. A battery powers the motor, and is located below the housing so that the handle, motor and fan, and the battery are vertically aligned so the weight of the blower is aligned with the handle, and reduces moment forces acting thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: James C. TIRONE, Kelly E. DYER, Oleksiy SERGYEYENKO

Publication number: 20200230723Abstract: A saw may include a housing, a motor assembly, a fan and a baffle. The motor assembly may be disposed within the housing and may include a driveshaft that is rotatable relative to the housing. The fan may be attached to a first end portion of the driveshaft for rotation with the driveshaft. The baffle may be disposed within the housing and may include a recess and a chute in communication with the recess. The fan may be disposed within the recess and may force air through the recess and into the chute. The chute may extend tangentially from a body of the baffle and may include a shape that curves around a rotational axis of the fan as the chute curves away from a plane in which the fan rotates.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Inventor: Kelly E.

Publication number: 20160324380Abstract: The present invention is directed to an axial or in-line type blowervac that switches between a blowing operational mode and a vacuum operational mode by moving a baffle within its housing to cover an air inlet or air exhaust depending on the operational mode selected. In the blow mode, a fan assembly is driven in a first direction to blow air out of an airpipe attached to a front portion of the housing. In a vacuum mode, the fan assembly is driven in a reverse direction, and air and debris are pulled in through the airpipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Oleksiy SERGYEYENKO, James C. TIRONE, Kelly E. DYER, Drake L. FISHER, Timothy W. FRENCH, JR., David A. MILLER, Sean BAILEY
