Abstract: An air compressor assembly includes a compressor configured to provide a source of compressed air and a manifold assembly removably coupled to the compressor and configured to distribute the compressed air to one or more pneumatic tools. The manifold assembly is configured to be coupled to the compressor via an air conduit when the manifold assembly is detached from the compressor so that the manifold assembly is operable at a location remote from the compressor.

Abstract: An air compressor assembly includes a roll cage assembly which defines a protective volume within the air compressor assembly. The roll cage assembly supports an air storage tank and an air compressor, and at least substantially surrounds the air storage tank and the air compressor. The air compressor assembly includes a shroud mounted to the roll cage assembly. The shroud has a control panel portion including control and output components which are completely contained within the protected volume. The air compressor assembly further includes a handle. The handle is positioned along a vertical axis extending through the center of gravity of the air compressor assembly when the air compressor assembly is oriented to be carried by grasping the handle.

Abstract: The integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly allows several air tools to operate from a single air compressor, using a simplified air hose distribution system. An operator may independently adjust the regulated pressure of the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly to compensate for varying working conditions. A greater air hose supply pressure may be used, as regulation of air pressure is accomplished at the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly. The increased air transport efficiency allowed by the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly of the present invention may provide for the use of smaller diameter hose, which may be lighter, more flexible, less costly, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a suitcase style air compressor assembly having an extensible handle bar assembly and a wheel assembly. When the extensible handle bar assembly is fully extended, the suitcase style air compressor assembly may be transported by utilizing the extensible handle bar assembly and the wheel assembly. When the suitcase style air compressor assembly reaches a worksite, the extensible handle bar assembly may be retracted so that the suitcase style air compressor assembly does not occupy a large space.
