Patent number: 10367238Abstract: A battery pack includes a first side oriented battery assembly, a second side oriented battery assembly, and a vent chamber arranged between the first side oriented battery assembly and the second side oriented battery assembly. The first and second side oriented battery assemblies are thus arranged to share a common vent chamber. One of the first and second side oriented battery assemblies may additionally share a common heat exchanger device with a third side oriented battery assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Hari Krishna Addanki, George Albert Garfinkel, Jeffrey Matthew Haag, Patrick Daniel Maguire, Kevin A. Montgomery, Lucas Amber

Patent number: 10351005Abstract: A charge system includes a base, a platform including a projecting plug, at least three interlinked legs, and a first and second sets of articulating joints. The at least three interlinked legs are of a fixed same length and are mechanically biased to be perpendicular to the base. The first and second sets of articulating joints respectively connect opposite ends of the legs with the platform and base such that, responsive to a force on the plug, the legs tilt while remaining parallel to each other and the platform remains parallel with the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Matthew Haag, Michael E. Reibling, Lucas Amber
