Milwaukee Electric Tool Patente

A power tool includes a housing and a drive mechanism supported within the housing. The drive mechanism has a motor and a transmission configured to receive torque from the motor. The power tool further includes an output drive operably coupled to the drive mechanism to provide torque to a workpiece and an electro-mechanical speed select mechanism. The electro-mechanical speed select mechanism has a switch operably coupled to the transmission to adjust an operating gear ratio when moving between a first switch position and second switch position, and a collar movably coupled to the housing to electronically adjust an operating speed of the motor. The collar is movable between a first position corresponding to a first electronic speed setting and a second position corresponding to a second electronic speed setting different than the first electronic speed setting.

An impact tool includes a housing, a trigger, and a motor within the housing. The motor includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is coupled to a motor shaft. An impact mechanism includes a hammer coupled to the motor shaft and an anvil configured to receive impacts from the hammer. The tool includes an output drive device coupled to the anvil and configured to rotate, and an electronic controller including a memory and an electronic processor. The electronic controller is configured to detect a pull of the trigger and control the motor at a first motor power in response to the pull of the trigger, detect an impact of the hammer and anvil of an impact mechanism, determine a proper motor speed and a proper motor torque for satisfactory engagement of the hammer and anvil, and control the motor to operate at the proper motor speed and motor torque.

Earmuffs with a joint are provided to create a biased pressure distribution about a perimeter of the cup. The earmuffs may include a pivot joint. The pressure distribution creates a wedging pressure (e.g., on a top edge) on the cups that hold the earmuffs on the user's head, for example, when the user rotates the headband behind the head. The bias pressure is also used to adjust the seal formed between the pad and the user's head. Adjustments to the moment created by separating the joints from the cup's apex enable a user to selectively adjust the seal according to the user's preference. A cam is added to the headband to change the hoop stress distributed at the joints and further adjust the compressive forces generated to hold the earmuffs against the user's head.

A power tool includes a housing and a battery pack having a body with a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a positive battery terminal disposed on the first end of the body, and a negative battery terminal disposed on the first end of the body. The power tool further includes a battery pack interface supported by the housing and configured to receive the battery pack. The battery pack interface has a first cap with a plurality of resilient members configured to interact with the first end of the battery pack and a second cap configured to secure the battery pack within the battery pack interface.

A working head (22) for a hydraulic power tool (10). The working head (22) includes a head frame and a first moveable die head configured to move along the working head frame (25). The first moveable die head is configured to receive a first moveable die (200) comprising a first body length and a second die head is adapted to receive a second die (250) comprising a second body length. At least one of the moveable die (200) or stationary die (250) comprises an elongated die.

A tool with a reversible ratchet mechanism is shown. The ratchet mechanism includes a gear structure, pawl structure, and a switching mechanism such that the ratchet mechanism allows tightening in the clockwise and counterclockwise direction. The ratchet mechanism further includes a biasing component for pawl movement and another biasing component engaged with the switching mechanism to provide tactile feedback.

A battery pack charger includes a battery pack interface configured to removably receive a battery pack, a charging circuit electrically connected to the battery pack interface, a discharging circuit electrically connected to the battery pack interface, and a common charging and discharging line connected to the charging circuit and the discharging circuit.

A power tool having multiple wireless communication states, the power tool comprising a motor, a battery pack interface that selectively receives a battery pack, a backup power source, a wireless communication controller coupled to the backup power source and the battery pack interface, a switching network coupled between the motor and the battery pack interface, an actuator and a controller coupled to the actuator and the switching network. The wireless communication controller includes a wireless transceiver and a processor. The wireless communication controller is configured to operate in an advertisement state when the wireless communication controller is coupled to and powered by the backup power source. In the advertisement state, the wireless communication controller is configured to transmit an advertisement message including a unique tool identifier. The controller is unpowered when the wireless communication controller is in the advertisement state. The controller is configured to control the switching network to apply power from the battery pack to drive the motor based on actuator activation.

A multi-bay battery pack charger and power supply including a device housing, a handle at a top portion of the device housing, a user interface provided on a front side of the device housing between the top portion of the device housing and a bottom portion of the device housing, and a first battery pack interface and a second battery pack interface provided at the bottom portion of the device housing. The first battery pack interface including a terminal block configured to removably receive a battery pack.

A container (110), such as a beverage container, is provided. The container (110) includes a storage body defining a containment area (122) for liquids, the storage body extending along a longitudinal axis (112); an opening (124) at a top of the containment area (122); a bottom panel (114) coupled to a bottom end of the storage body, the bottom panel defines a bottom-most surface (116) facing away from the opening (124); and a plurality of tabs (136) that extend radially outwardly from the bottom panel (114) with respect to the longitudinal axis (112), each of the plurality of tabs (136) extending circumferentially around the bottom panel (114) with respect to the longitudinal axis (112).

A rotary impact tool includes a motor housing, an electric motor supported in the motor housing, and a drive assembly for converting a continuous torque input from the motor to consecutive rotational impacts upon a workpiece. The drive assembly includes an anvil including an anvil lug and a hammer that is both rotationally and axially movable relative to the anvil. The hammer includes a hammer lug for imparting the consecutive rotational impacts upon the anvil lug. The rotary impact tool further comprises a printed circuit board assembly including a sensor that is configured to detect rotation of the anvil. The printed circuit board assembly is spaced from the anvil to define an axial gap therebetween.
