Air compressor with shut-off mechanism

摘要

A compressor system is disclosed, comprising a first pump driven by a D/C motor, a second pump driven by an A/C motor, and a switch which allows a user to manually selectively engage of one of the D/C motor or A/C motor, including a gauge having a user settable shut-off mechanism which interrupts power to at least one of D/C or A/C motors. Also disclosed is a gauge configured to display system pressure independent of the user settable shut-off mechanism. A gauge having a rotatable bezel with a needle stop comprising a first needle rotatably coupled to a gauge shaft, and a second needle fixable coupled to the gauge shaft, and a spring disposed between the first and second needles, the spring configured to bias the first needle into the second needle so changes in pressure causes rotation of both is also disclosed.

1. An air compressor system comprising:
a first compressor having a first high pressure air output, said first compressor being driven by a DC motor; a second compressor having a second high pressure air output, said second compressor being driven by an AC motor; wherein said first and second high pressure air outputs are fluidly coupled to a common pressure gauge and to an output hose, said pressure gauge having a user settable shut-off mechanism operable to interrupt power to both said DC motor and said AC motor; and a manually-operable three-position switch having a first ON position in which power is supplied to said DC motor and power to said AC motor is interrupted, a second ON position in which power is supplied to said AC motor and power to said DC motor is interrupted, and a third OFF position in which power is interrupted to both said DC motor and said AC motor.
