Publication number: 20180228337Abstract: A floor cleaning machine for cleaning a surface. The cleaning machine includes a body, an actuator supported by the body, a distribution nozzle supported by the body, and a supply tank assembly coupled to the body in fluid communication with the distribution nozzle. The supply tank includes a first tank that stores a first cleaning solution, a second tank that stores a second cleaning solution that is different from the first cleaning solution, and a third tank that stores water. The floor cleaning machine is operable in a first mode to wash the surface, in a second mode to sanitize the surface, and a third mode to rinse the surface. The distribution nozzle delivers the first cleaning solution onto the surface when the floor cleaning machine is in the first mode and delivers the second cleaning solution onto the surface when the floor cleaning machine is in the second mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Kevin Vail, Patrick J. Quinn, Robert A. Salo, John R. Bantum, Lucas W. Phalen, Gino S. Lovano, Phonesacksith G. Kettavong, Brent Noward, Kyle J. Wheaton

Patent number: 9968235Abstract: A floor cleaning machine for cleaning a surface includes a body, a distribution nozzle supported by the body, a supply tank assembly coupled to the body in fluid communication with the distribution nozzle, a suction nozzle supported by the body, and a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle. The suction source is operable to draw fluid and dirt from the surface through the suction nozzle. The floor cleaning machine also includes a recovery tank coupled to the body in fluid communication with the suction source to receive and store fluid and dirt drawn through the suction nozzle. The floor cleaning machine is operable in a first mode to wash the surface and is operable in a second mode to sanitize the surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Techtronic Floor Care Technologies LimitedInventors: Kevin Vail, Patrick J. Quinn, Robert A. Salo, John R. Bantum, Lucas W. Phalen, Gino S. Lovano, Phonesacksith G. Kettavong, Brent Noward, Kyle J. Wheaton

Publication number: 20120248902Abstract: A power tool has a motor having a stator made by separately forming pole pieces and field coils. The field coils are placed over necks of the pole path pieces. An armature has an outside diameter of at least 0.625 the outside diameter of the stator is placed in the stator. The housing has a girth of 200 mm or less with the motor wound to provide a maximum watts out to housing girth ratio of at least 5 maximum watts outs to 1 mm of housing girth. The field coils may be formed so that they extend beyond pole tips of the pole pieces.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Hung T. Du, Earl M. Ortt, Brandon L. Verbrugge, Garrett P. McCormick, Michael A. Zemlock, Eric J. Samuelsen, Kevin M. Hogan, Jiaqi Zhang, Ren Hong Wang, Frank A. Mannarino, Allison A. Smith, Spencer G.

Patent number: 8207647Abstract: A power tool has a motor having a stator made by separately forming pole pieces, return path pieces and field coils. The field coils are placed over necks of the pole path pieces and the return path pieces are affixed to the pole pieces. An armature having an outside diameter of at least 0.625 the outside diameter of the stator is placed in the stator. The field coils may be formed so that they extend beyond pole tips of the pole pieces.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Hung T.

Publication number: 20090065225Abstract: A power tool can include a housing and a motor assembly in the housing. The motor assembly can include an output member and a motor for translating the output member. A kickback sensor can sample successive periods of current through the motor and produce an output in response thereto. An anti-kickback control device can remove energy from the output member in response to the output of the kickback sensor. A switch can have a first setting and a second setting. The first setting can correspond to a first operating condition of the anti-kickback control device. The second setting can correspond to a second operating condition of the anti-kickback control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Michael K. Forster, Kyle J. Wheaton
