Patent number: 12592431Abstract: A portable power supply including a housing, at least one battery cell, a charger, and an attachment. The housing defines a cavity. The housing includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of air inlets defined in the lower portion, and a plurality of air outlets defined in the upper portion. The plurality of air inlets is in fluid communication with the cavity. The plurality of air outlets is in fluid communication with the cavity. The at least one battery cell is disposed in the cavity. The charger is electrically coupled with the battery cell. The attachment is coupled to the upper portion. The attachment is configured to at least partially cover each of the air outlets such that airflow exiting the air outlets travels a circuitous path.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 31, 2026Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Michael A. Barrowclift, Maria Krutikova, Max Karbin, James P. Elfering, Swapnil Suresh Rathod

Publication number: 20260056441Abstract: An electrical device capable of emitting or absorbs energy relative a surrounding environment. The electrical device includes a housing, an interior volume defined in the housing, an energy sensor at least partially exposed to the surrounding environment, a first material having a first absorptivity, and a second material having a second absorptivity lower than the first absorptivity. The first material is nearer to the surrounding environment than the second material is at an energy sensor reading below a threshold energy range, and the first material is farther from the surrounding environment than the second material is at an energy sensor reading above the threshold energy range.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2025Publication date: February 26, 2026Inventors: Swapnil Suresh Rathod, Kyle C. Fassbender, Matthew R. Polakowski, James P. Elfering, Michael A. Barrowclift, Maria Krutikova, Max Karbin

Patent number: 12334577Abstract: A mobile power supply includes a frame, at least one battery pack supported by the frame, a clamp assembly coupled to the frame, and a handle removably attached to the frame. The handle has two elongate members that are spaced apart from one another and a cross-member extending between the two elongate members. The clamp assembly is configured to capture the cross-member with the handle in an operation configuration, release the cross-member to move the handle from operation configuration to a storage configuration, and capture the cross-member with the handle in the storage configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Maria Krutikova, Max Karbin, Anthony Graykowski

Publication number: 20240372224Abstract: A mobile power source that has a battery pack including at least two battery cell assemblies each having frame that has a first support member and a second support member, each of the first and second support members including a plurality of cylindrical recesses that receive the plurality of battery cells to support the battery cells. Bus bars are coupled to the first support member via injection molding and each is configured to electrically connect to at least two battery cells. The bus bars each include an elongated conductive body that has a base and fingers extending laterally away from the base. Each of the fingers extend within a first plane, and the base extends within a second plane that is parallel to the first plane and offset therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Kyle J. Radovich, Mark E. Brouwer, Michael A. Barrowclift, Max Karbin, Kyle R. Becker, Tao Zhao
