US Patent:

20200201809, Jun 25, 2020

Filed:

Feb 28, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/804854

Inventors:

- Kenosha WI, US
Jerry A. King - Hacienda Hts CA, US
Tingwen Wu - Hacienda Heights CA, US
Nathan J. Lee - Escondido CA, US

Assignee:

Snap-on Incorporated - Kenosha WI

International Classification:

G06F 13/42
B25B 23/142
H02J 7/00

Abstract:

A communication port interface facilitates charging of a power source, such as a battery, while the power source remains coupled to a tool. The communication port interface also facilitates downloading of torque and/or angle log information from an electronic torque tool to an external device. Torque and/or angle preset job information may be entered in client software and uploaded from the external device to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface. Additional information including real time clock information and wrench system parameters may be uploaded to the electronic torque tool via the communication port interface.

Appl. No.:

14/791249

Inventors:

Nathan Lee - Lakewood CA, US

International Classification:

H02G 3/12

Abstract:

An enclosure such as an electrical junction box has fixed clamping flanges exterior to the enclosure, screws rotatable relative to the enclosure and operative for drawing clamping brackets from an initial elevated position towards the clamping flanges for clamping the edges of an opening cut in drywall or the like, thereby to fasten the enclosure inside a wall or ceiling. The clamping brackets are initially retracted in the enclosure and rotation of the screws releases the brackets to an extended clamping position relative to the clamping flanges.

Appl. No.:

13/888658

Inventors:

Jerry A. King - Hacienda Hts CA, US
Duane A. Vallejos - La Puente CA, US
Andrew R. Lobo - Wadsworth IL, US
Chris Lawton - Costa Mesa CA, US
Nathan Lee - Escondido CA, US

International Classification:

B25B 23/142

US Classification:

81467

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to electronic torque tools that allow an offset length of an adapter or extension being used in conjunction with the tool to be input into the tools. The tools may also include an input for a head length, when the head of the tool is interchangeable. The tools use the input(s) to calculate a correction factor. The correction factor is used to adjust the torque measurement of the tools so that the tools display the actual torque value without the need for re-calibration or the performance of external calculations.

International Classification:

G01L 5/24
G06F 11/30

US Classification:

702 41

Abstract:

Real-time clock circuitry integrated in an electronic torque tool facilitates time-stamping of torque data acquired by the electronic torque tool. The time stamped torque data may be displayed on a display integrated in the electronic torque tool or may be communicated to an external device. The real-time clock circuitry may be adjusted based on information received from an external device or may be manually input to a keypad of the electronic torque tool. A calibration timer integrated in the electronic torque tool monitors time between calibrations of the tool and notifies a user upon expiration of a calibration interval. A secondary power source is coupled to the real-time clock circuitry to maintain power to the real-time clock circuitry during battery replacement.
