Patent number: 12447902Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for a vehicle bay divider comprising a plurality of powered through openings configured to interface with a locking mechanism, where the locking mechanism affixes an accessory to the vehicle bay divider enabling a powered connection between at least one of the through openings and the powered accessory. Each of the through openings comprises at least one interface configured to provide power through physical leads or wirelessly. The locking mechanism may comprise tabs or pegs configured to be received by the through openings and secure the powered accessory to the vehicle bay divider. The locking mechanism may comprise a push-push assembly and linkages that cause the tabs or pegs to translate in opposing direction into engaged and disengaged positions.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Lindsey Cross, Jeremy Fu, Matthew Blunt

Patent number: 11253016Abstract: A glove is provided and includes a cuff providing an opening to the glove. A back panel defines a first portion of finger sheaths and a thumb sheath and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. A palm panel is disposed on an opposite side of the glove from the back panel and defines a second portion of the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath. The palm panel is formed from a material having a greater coefficient of friction than a material of the back panel and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. The palm panel tapers in a direction from the finger sheaths to the cuff. A gusset extends between and is attached to the back panel and the palm panel and is formed from a different material than the back panel and the palm panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Blunt, Linda Castleberry, Ken Clark
