Publication number: 20220250180Abstract: A power tool for forming threads includes a tool housing with a motor housing portion having a first handle, a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery, a motor housing portion with a motor, a transmission housing portion with a transmission, and an operating head portion arranged along a tool axis. A cutting head is at least partially received in the operating head portion and rotates about a rotational axis transverse to the tool axis to form threads in a workpiece. A second handle is coupled to the operating head or the tool housing adjacent the operating head. When power is applied to the motor, the motor rotates and the transmission transmits torque from the motor to rotate the cutting head. A center of gravity of the power tool is positioned at a portion of the tool housing substantially aligned with the second handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Warren A.

Patent number: 11344961Abstract: A modification system for the modification of elongated pieces of stock may include a powered tool for modifying, or altering the piece of elongated stock, and a support device for supporting a position of the elongated stock relative to the powered tool. An arrangement of the components of the powered tool may provide for ergonomic balance of the powered tool. The support device may include a clamping device that clamps, or holds the elongated stock, and an adjustment device that adjusts a position of the clamping device based on a size of the elongated stock. The support device may include a latching device that maintains the position of the clamping device relative to the stock. A reaction arm may inhibit rotation of the tool relative to the stock during operation. A biasing device may provide for application of an axial biasing force on the stock, to initiate operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Warren A.

Patent number: 9993936Abstract: A chop saw includes a base assembly and a saw assembly pivotally attached to the base assembly. The base assembly has a workpiece-supporting plane. The saw assembly has a blade and a motor driving the blade. A hinged connection between the base assembly and a saw assembly allows a user to rotate the saw assembly from a position where the plane of the blade extends through the workpiece-supporting plane to a position where the plane of the blade does not extend through the workpiece-supporting plane. In such position, the plane of blade may be substantially parallel to the workpiece-supporting plane. A switch or sensor may detect when the saw assembly is in the pivoted position so that the motor cannot be activated in such position.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Warren A. Ceroll, Danielle J. Barker, James D. Schroeder, Stephanie A. Billingsley, John C. Wenig, Dennis A. Bush, Daniel Fitzgerald, Thomas J. Bodine, Robert A. Usselman, Eric J. Samuelsen
