Patent number: 11912545Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Matthew Post, Gareth Mueckl, Matthew N.

Patent number: 6615762Abstract: A primary goal of the present invention is to improve the prior art assembly system. The present invention provides a boat of simple ultra light construction with the fewest number of parts that can be easily assembled without tools. Then, when disassembled provides a compact lightweight package suitable for long range or rough terrain portage or back packing. A plastic coated nylon waterproof cover or like skin can be conveniently slid onto, and off of the assembled hull and quickly fastened in place to provide waterproofness for the hull. Another goal of this invention is to introduce a watercraft construction method whose components can be made from extruded corrugated plastic and other plastic materials that are lightweight, but strong, and can be inexpensively mass produced using rule dies and the like inexpensive tooling and assembly methods.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Inventor: William S. Scott
