  • Patent number: 11959629
    Abstract: A device or unit with a lighting component is provided. The device includes coupling components that couple the device to stackable storage unit containers. In one embodiment, the device includes a battery interface to couple to a battery for power tools. In one embodiment, the device includes three lights that are pivotally coupled to the housing between a retracted position in which the lights are disposed against sidewalls of the housing, and an open position in which the lights are pivoted above the top panel of the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11723501
    Abstract: The handheld vacuum cleaner (10) includes a housing (22), a handle (42), a suction opening (90), and a debris separator (14). The debris separator (14) includes a generally horizontal cyclone (66). An airflow rotate about a cyclone axis (70) to separate debris from the airflow. The cyclone axis (70) being generally perpendicular to an inlet axis (222). A suction source (170) is operable to generate the airflow. The suction source (170) including a suction source axis (186), a motor (178), and a fan (182) rotated by the motor (178) about the suction source axis (186). The suction source axis (186) is positioned at an obtuse angle relative to the inlet axis (222) and perpendicular to the cyclone axis (70). A debris collector (18) is in fluid communication with the debris outlet (126). The debris collector (18) is configured to receive the debris separated from the airflow. The debris collector (18) extends below the suction source (170).
