Publication number: 20240113649Abstract: A power tool includes a motor, a speed sensor configured to sense a speed of the motor, and a controller connected to the motor and the speed sensor. The controller is configured to provide power to the motor, determine a first command based on the speed of the motor, determine, while in a first operating mode, whether the first command is greater than or equal to a first limit, determine, while in the first operating mode, a PWM duty cycle ratio based on the first limit, determine, while in a second operating mode, whether a parameter command is greater than or equal to a parameter limit, while in the second operating mode and when the parameter command is greater than or equal to the parameter limit, the PWM duty cycle ratio based on the parameter limit, and drive the motor based on the PWM duty cycle ratio.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Austin Gaspar, Robert Keys, Bradley A.

Patent number: 11885587Abstract: A bow may have a string latch that holds a bowstring and that can be moved into three distinct positions. One activator may be used to prevent the string latch from being moved into its second position. A second activator may be used to prevent the string latch from being moved into its third position. A third activator may be used to move the first and second activators to prevent the string latch from being moved into its second or third positions.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Hunter's Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Michael Shaffer, Richard Bednar, Steven Bednar, Phillip Bednar, Eric Vankeulen, Gary Smith, Jr., Robert Seymour, Keith Bartels

Patent number: 11428499Abstract: A crossbow may include a bowstring and a string latch that can be moved into a first string latch position that holds the bowstring in a cocked position, a second string latch position that does not hold the bowstring in the cocked position and a third string latch position. To de-cock the crossbow, a de-cock activator may be selectively movable from a first de-cock activator position that prevents the string latch from being moved into the third string latch position into a second de-cock activator position that permits the string latch to be moved into the third string latch position. When the string latch is in the first string latch position and the de-cock activator is in the second de-cock activator position: the string latch may be selectively movable into the third string latch position and then the second string latch position permitting de-cocking of the crossbow.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Hunter's Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Michael Shaffer, Richard Bednar, Steven Bednar, Phillip Bednar, Eric VanKeulen, Gary Smith, Jr., Robert Seymour, Keith Bartels
