Patent number: 7930833Abstract: A portable, hand-operated trimmer has a head module that is removably connected to a power control module. The head module has a power head enclosing an electric motor that is operatively connected to a trimming blade. The power head is selectably settable in a plurality of angular positions with respect to a head support, including a neutral position representing 0 degree rotation, 45 degree flexion and dorsiflexion positions, and 90 degree flexion and dorsiflexion positions. The power head also encloses a stator cartridge that is connected to the housing of the power head by a plurality of fastening members. The head support rotates about the stator cartridge and is engaged by way of a movable engagement pin that is received within a selected recess defined in the stator cartridge. The power head housing and stator cartridge further define molded sockets to receive corresponding pivot arms of the head support. An O-ring is disposed about one of the pivot arms to dampen free rotation.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Inventors: Ashok Samuel Baskar, Wallis Alsruhe, Jason Busschaert, Kevin W.

Patent number: 7484300Abstract: An elongated pole pruner for cutting and trimming trees, bushes and the like having three separable sections, that when assembled, form an extended length pruner. The pole pruner includes a first section containing a handle and battery pack, a second extension section, and a third section that contains the purner itself. Each of the sections contains an electrical conductor that is attached to corresponding conductor in an adjacent pole sections via a male plug and female receptacle. In this way, the battery pack in the first section of the pole is able to deliver power through the second section to the pruner in the third section.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Wade C. King, Wallis Alsruhe, Timothy W. French

Patent number: 5931185Abstract: Instead of wrapping the air hose around the portable tire inflator housing to store it, an internal storage compartment is provided. A guide device in the compartment guides the hose so that it travels a path which is offset downward from a straight line path between its attachment to the compressor of the inflator and the opening in the compartment top wall. This path reduces pulling stresses on the attachment, assists in manual incremental feed of the hose back into a concealed storage position, and prevents the hose from bunching up into upper corners of the compartment. When in its storage position only the air chuck at the end of the hose is exposed.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1996Date of Patent: August 3, 1999Assignee: Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Roberta Scheiner Hall, Scott D.
