  • Publication number: 20220040842
    Abstract: A storage support configured to support an object on a support surface. The storage support includes a mount and a plurality of cleats. The mount includes an upper edge and a lower edge. Each of the plurality of cleats includes a first upper cleat edge and a second upper cleat edge that is non-parallel relative to the first upper cleat edge. The first upper cleat edge is oriented non-parallel relative to the upper edge of the mount. Each of the first upper cleat edge and the second upper cleat edge are configured to support the object.

  • Publication number: 20220032445
    Abstract: A workbench-hand truck assembly includes a first pair of legs, a frame, a second pair of legs pivotally coupled to the frame and to the first pair of legs, a workbench configured to be supported by the first and second pairs of legs, a pair of brackets pivotally coupled to the first pair of legs, and a nose plate pivotally coupled to the pair of brackets for movement between a stored position, in which the nose plate extends parallel to and adjacent the workbench, and a deployed position, in which the nose plate extends away from the workbench. The workbench-hand truck assembly is configurable in a hand truck position when the nose plate is in the deployed position, such that the nose plate extends perpendicular to the workbench.

  • Publication number: 20210221561
    Abstract: A stackable storage system includes a first container, a second container, and a latch moveable between a first position and a second position. The first container includes a projection extending away from the first container along a stacking direction. An edge portion extends from the projection along a plane substantially perpendicular to the stacking direction. The second container includes a recess. The recess receives the projection when the first container and the second container are stacked relative to one another in the stacking direction. The latch overlaps the edge portion with respect to the stacking direction while in the first position to secure the first container and the second container. The latch and edge portion are positioned in a non-overlapping manner relative to one another while the latch is in the second position to permit separation of the first container from the second container.

  • Publication number: 20210220925
    Abstract: A rotary tool includes a housing, a drive shaft positioned within the housing, and a bit holder. The bit holder is positioned adjacent a distal end of the housing and is driven by rotation of the drive shaft. The rotary tool also includes a wrench assembly for adjusting the bit holder and a light source configured to emit light in a direction toward the bit holder. The wrench assembly is positioned adjacent the bit holder and is movable between a first position and a second position. The wrench assembly is coupled to the housing and disengaged from the bit holder assembly in the first position and is engaged with the bit holder assembly in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210178311
    Abstract: An air purifier includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, a filter disposed adjacent the air inlet, a blower unit disposed within the housing to draw air through the air inlet and expel air through the air outlet, a battery receptacle configured to engage a battery for providing power to the motor, and a handle coupled to the housing to facilitate transportation of the air purifier. The blower unit includes a motor and an impeller driven by the motor to induce an air flow, and rotation of the impeller induces air flow at a rate between approximately 400 cubic feet per minute and approximately 800 cubic feet per minute.
