Patent number: 10066431Abstract: A damper for a storage compartment closure includes a bellows chamber and damper air passage structures each configured to provide an air volume intake during a bellows chamber extension that is less than an air volume expulsion during a bellows chamber compression. One damper air venting structure is a valve having a translatable lid including an aperture defined therethrough. A bellows chamber air pressure differential maintains the translatable lid in a closed configuration during the bellows chamber extension and in an open configuration during the bellows chamber compression. Another damper air venting structure is at least one bellows chamber vent including a cover configured whereby a bellows chamber extension incrementally transitions the cover to a closed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Raj S. Roychoudhury, Raymond Anthony Oldani

Patent number: 9434319Abstract: A portable electronic device dock includes a storage unit and a lid, wherein the lid is adapted to clamp a portable electronic device between a portion of the lid and a portion of the storage unit to retain the portable electronic device in a user-accessible display position. The device dock includes a slide assembly adapted to bias the lid to an open position and a clutch assembly adapted to retain the lid in a clamped position on the portable electronic device. A spring member retains the clutch assembly in a released condition as the lid opens. The slide assembly includes a release tab configured to act on the spring member to allow the clutch assembly to convert to an engaged condition once the lid has reached a fully open position.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: Raymond Anthony Oldani

Patent number: 8961062Abstract: An inertial lockout mechanism is coupled to a latch mechanism, such that, during a collision event, the inertial lockout mechanism will move to an interference position such that the latch mechanism will be retained in a locked position as an inertial force is realized on the latch mechanism. Specifically tailored compression spring configurations ensure that the inertial lockout mechanism will move to the interference position before the latch mechanism can move to the unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Francis Raymond Gillis, Raymond Anthony Oldani, Bill Garrett Vernon

The device dock includes a slide assembly adapted to bias the lid to an open position and a clutch assembly adapted to retain the lid in a clamped position on the portable electronic device. The slide assembly is coupled to an axle member, which is further coupled to support arms disposed on the lid. The slide assembly is further coupled to the clutch assembly on an opposite end such that the clutch assembly can limit movement of the slide assembly to further limit movement of the lid.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Raymond Anthony Oldani, Scott Simon
