Patent number: 11807056Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, vehicles, and methods for a break-away tow hook. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a tow hook configured to extend in a first direction from a surface of a vehicle and to receive a towing line. A mount is configured to displaceably secure the tow hook to the surface. The mount is configured to maintain a position of the tow hook relative to the surface in response to a pulling force being applied to the tow hook in a first direction away from the surface of the vehicle. The mount is further configured to enable the tow hook to move relative to the surface in response to the tow hook incurring a force in a second direction, wherein the second direction is at least partially toward the surface of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Jorge Guillermo Barrios Albert, Robert J. Briggs, Mohammed Nomaan Khan, Vilaskumar Waghmare, David Bauch, Randy R. Frank, Gavin Goodchild
