US Patent:

7732955, Jun 8, 2010

Filed:

Aug 18, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/193206

Inventors:

Phillip T. Miller - Phoenix MD, US
Brian E. Friedman - Towson MD, US

Assignee:

Black & Decker Inc. - Newark DE

International Classification:

H02K 9/06

US Classification:

310 63, 310 62, 310 60 R

Abstract:

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a power tool has an electric motor having a stator disposed in a field case. The stator has field coils having opposed axial ends that extend axially outwardly from opposed axial ends of a lamination stack of the stator. An armature is disposed in the stator and has a shaft on which a fan is disposed. There are gaps between the opposed axial ends of the respective field coils. The fan baffle includes an air direction member that extends into one of the gaps to direct air flow between the armature and the stator. In an aspect, the fan baffle includes a plurality of such members, one for each gap.

International Classification:

B02C 23/18

US Classification:

451488, 451344, 451357, 451359, 553851, 152301, 310 62

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an airflow generation and particle dispersion arrangement for a power tool (e. g. , an angle grinder). The arrangement includes a motor, an airflow generation assembly, and a particle dispersion assembly. The airflow generation assembly includes a fan driven by the motor. When engaged, the driven fan generates an airstream that is drawn through the power tool. The particle dispersion assembly includes a passive fan that is not driven by the motor, but instead is driven by the airstream. In operation, the passive fan generates centrifugal and mechanical forces sufficient to remove particles from intake air passing through the particle dispersion assembly.

Appl. No.:

13/200282

Inventors:

Marc Gregory Allinson - Kingsville MD, US
Phillip Royce Miller - Joppa MD, US

International Classification:

F16L 9/22

US Classification:

138155

Abstract:

A pipe of unique design capable of augmenting any flow, including but not limited to: gas, liquid, particulate, plasma, and/or other fluid state or any combination thereof whether the flow is human and/or naturally made such that the tunnel produces a net decrease in pressure and a net increase in speed of a flow. The tunnel(s) can be used to augment flow to, from, in, at, and/or around turbines and/or rotors.
