  • Patent number: 7462018
    Abstract: An air compressor includes a supporting base having an arm extended from a plate, and a cylinder housing formed integral with the arm and the plate and having an outlet tube. The cylinder housing includes three or more ducts extended outwardly from the outlet tube and communicating with the outlet tube, for attaching a pressure gauge, a nozzle or other devices. A piston is slidably received in the cylinder housing. A motor is attached to the plate, and includes a spindle extendible through either the lower or the upper portion of the plate, and coupled to the piston with an eccentric member, to move the piston to the cylinder housing in a reciprocating action, in order to generate pressurized air.

  • Publication number: 20080237510
    Abstract: An air compressor includes a cylinder housing having an outlet tube, a piston slidably received in the cylinder housing and having a piston rod and a bore, and a motor coupled to the piston for moving the piston relative to the cylinder housing in a reciprocating action, in order to generate pressurized air. A valve device includes one side secured to the piston, an inner peripheral slot formed between two blade members, and two coupling members coupling the two ends or two sides of the blade members together for increasing a resilience of the blade members and for preventing the valve device from being bent or distorted or deformed when the piston is moved in a very high speed relative to the cylinder housing.

  • Publication number: 20080145245
    Abstract: An air compressor device includes a piston slidably engaged in a cylinder housing and having an outer peripheral groove formed by a base peripheral surface and two side surfaces, to form an outer opening and an inner recess, a motor is coupled to the piston to move the piston in the cylinder housing in reciprocating action, and a sealing ring is engaged in the outer peripheral groove of the piston, for making an air tight seal between the cylinder housing and the piston. The sealing ring includes a peripheral channel to form a base segment, an inner leg and an outer leg, the outer leg is extended out of the outer opening of the piston, for slidably engaging with a tilted or inclined inner peripheral surface of the cylinder housing, even when the piston is tilted relative to the cylinder housing.

  • Patent number: 7240642
    Abstract: An air compressor includes a piston slidably received in a cylinder housing, and a motor coupled to the piston for moving the piston relative to the cylinder housing in a reciprocating action, in order to generate pressurized air. A cover is detachably secured on top of the cylinder housing, and includes an outlet tube having a compartment communicating with the cylinder housing, for receiving pressurized air from the cylinder housing, and includes an inlet blocked by a check valve device. The cover may be adjusted and secured to the cylinder housing, to adjust the inlet to different position relative to the cylinder housing, and to prevent the inlet from being blocked by objects.

  • Patent number: 6846162
    Abstract: An air compressor includes a cylinder housing having a passage formed in one end, a piston slidably received in the cylinder housing and moved relative to the cylinder housing in a reciprocating action to generate a pressurized air out through the passage of the cylinder housing. The cylinder housing includes an outlet tube having a bore communicating with the passage and the chamber of the cylinder housing, and having two or more ducts for readily coupling to and for supplying the pressurized air to the nozzle, the pressure gauge, the safety valve, or the other devices.

  • Patent number: 6814154
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing rotatably secured to a seat and having an internal gear and having a bore for rotatably receiving a driving shaft. A motor is secured to the seat and includes a spindle having a pinion engaged with the internal gear for driving the housing to rotate relative to the seat. A pawl is rotatably secured in the housing, and has two ends selectively engaged with the shaft to rotate the shaft in either direction when the housing is rotated relative to the seat by the motor with a speed greater enough to cause the pawl to engage with the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20040105766
    Abstract: An air compressor includes a base having an opening to receive a bearing, an eccentric member having a shaft rotatably secured to the base with the bearing and having an eccentric pin, and a cylinder having a piston rod rotatably coupling to the eccentric pin. A gear is attached to the eccentric member and rotated in concert with the eccentric member, and a motor is secured to the base and includes a pinion engaged with the gear to rotate the gear and the eccentric member relative to the base. The gear and the eccentric member may be rotated in great speeds by the motor, and may be stably and smoothly secured to the base with the bearing.
