US Patent:

20210107120, Apr 15, 2021
Filed:

Oct 11, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/599325
Inventors:

- Davidson NC, US
Justin T. Chellew - Bethlehem PA, US
Nicholas Garibaldi - Princeton NJ, US
Kevin M. Purdy - Westfield NJ, US
Mark T. McClung - Andover NJ, US
Madan Kumar Mandal - Bangalore, IN
International Classification:

B25B 21/02
B25F 5/02
B25D 17/04
B25D 17/06
Abstract:

An impact wrench is provided with a battery to power the motor. The impact wrench provides improved portability since the impact wrench does not need to be connected to an electrical extension cord or a pneumatic hose. The output drive, motor, batteries and main handle may be aligned along the axial direction of the tool. The batteries may be located between the motor and the main handle.

Rechargeable And Removable Light Source For Power Tools

US Patent:

20210088210, Mar 25, 2021
Filed:

Sep 25, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/582435
Inventors:

- Davidson NC, US
Nicholas Garibaldi - Princeton NJ, US
Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Davidson NC
International Classification:

F21V 33/00
F21V 23/02
F21V 23/04
F21V 21/096
H02K 7/14
B25F 5/02
Abstract:

A power tool includes a removable light source that is also rechargeable from electrical power harnessed from the power tool. The light source is easily removable from the power tool and freely arrangeable relative to the workpiece for best lighting, and also usable where no power tool is required or convenient. Electrical contacts on the power tool's housing electrically connect an energy storage device (e.g., capacitor, rechargeable battery, or the like) of the light source to an electrical supply of the power tool. This ensures that the light is charging while attached to the power tool, providing a charged light that workers may remove from the power tool and use as a standalone light source.

Filed:

Mar 20, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/359463
Inventors:

- New Britain CT, US
Nicholas J. Garibaldi - Bel Air MD, US
International Classification:

H01M 2/30
H01R 13/11
Abstract:

A battery terminal having a pair of contact tulips that mate with a device terminal in a mating direction. The first of the pair of contact tulips mates with the device terminal in a first contact plane and the second of the pair of contact tulips mates with the device terminal in a second contact plane. The first contact plane is generally parallel to the contact plane. Both the first and the second contact planes are generally perpendicular to the mating direction. The resistance between the first tulip and the device terminal is approximately half the resistance between the second tulip and the device terminal.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H01M 10/42
H01M 10/44
H01M 10/48
H01M 10/0525
Abstract:

A battery pack is provided for use with a power tool. The battery pack includes a housing and a plurality of battery cells connected in series within the housing, such that an inter-cell node is defined between each pair of adjacent battery cells.
