US 2019/0112755 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CHARGING BASE STATION FOR DC CARPET SEAMING IRON

Abstract

A battery powered carpet seaming iron system includes a battery powered carpet seaming iron, a base station for receiving the battery powered carpet seaming iron, and a releasable battery pack attached to the carpet seaming iron. Power is supplied to the battery powered carpet seaming iron from either of the base station or the battery pack. The base station receives AC power from an external source and supplies power to operate the battery powered carpet seaming iron, and to charge the batteries of the battery pack. Charging power from the base station is received at the battery powered carpet seaming iron and is transmitted by the carpet seaming iron to the battery pack. The battery pack supplies power to the seaming iron for operation of the seaming iron when the seaming iron is removed from the base station.
