Publication number: 20240392590Abstract: A concrete vibrator system comprising a vibrating head, a power box, a first cable, and a storage cart. The vibrating head includes a shaft and a motor. The shaft has a center of mass radially offset from a rotational axis of the shaft. The first cable is coupled to vibrating head at a first end thereof. The first cable is configured to transmit electrical current to the motor. The first cable has a first length extending from the vibrating head to an opposite, second end of the first cable. The storage cart includes a frame, a second cable, and a drum. The second cable is connectable to the first cable and the power box. The second cable has a second length greater than the first length. The drum is supported by the frame, and the second cable is selectively wrapped around and selectively extendible from the drum.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Kevin R. Gee, Carissa J. Minkebige

Publication number: 20240367245Abstract: A handheld band saw includes a housing, a handle supported by the housing and configured to be grasped by a user during a cutting operation, and a motor supported by the housing. The band saw further includes a drive wheel assembly that is at least partially disposed within the housing and a saw blade driven by the drive wheel assembly. The band saw further includes a drive assembly positioned between the motor and the drive wheel assembly. The drive assembly is configured to transfer torque from the motor to the drive wheel assembly, causing the drive wheel assembly and the saw blade to rotate. The drive wheel assembly includes a wheel having a recess in which a portion of the drive assembly is received to shorten an overall length of the motor, drive assembly, and drive wheel assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: James C. Sitter, Kevin Staszak, David A. Bierdeman, Kevin R. Gee

Patent number: 12070809Abstract: A handheld band saw includes a housing, a handle coupled to the housing and configured to be grasped by a user during a cutting operation, a motor supported by the housing, and a drive wheel assembly rotationally driven by the motor. The drive wheel assembly at least partially disposed within the housing. The band saw further includes a saw blade driven by the drive wheel assembly. The saw blade is configured to cut a workpiece during the cutting operation. The band saw further includes a pipe reamer attachment coupled to the drive wheel assembly. The pipe reamer attachment is configured to deburr the workpiece after completion of the cutting operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: James C. Sitter, Kevin Staszak, David A. Bierdeman, Kevin R. Gee

Publication number: 20230201936Abstract: A handheld band saw includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing, a handle coupled to the housing, and a saw blade substantially covered by the housing except a portion of the saw blade extending through a cut zone. The handheld band saw further includes a drive wheel assembly and a shoe coupled to the housing. The shoe extends into the cut zone and is configured to support a workpiece during the cutting operation. The shoe includes an actuator that is coupled for movement with the shoe. The actuator is configured to adjust the shoe to one of a plurality of predefined positions relative to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: James C. Sitter, Kevin Staszak, David A. Bierdeman, Kevin R. Gee

Patent number: 11203105Abstract: A percussion tool, for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel, comprises a housing including a front side, and rear side, and opposite lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides, a first handle coupled to a first of the lateral sides of the housing, a second handle coupled to a second of the lateral sides of the housing, the first and second handles oriented coaxially along a handle axis, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation relative to the housing along a striker axis, and a light source that produces light to illuminate the workpiece. The chisel is configured to deliver repeated axial impacts to the workpiece in response to receiving repeated axial impacts from the striker.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew D. Van Hoorn, Kevin R. Gee
