Patent number: 11926198Abstract: A vehicle includes a support structure. The vehicle also includes a side door operable to move relative to the support structure between an open position and a closed position. In the open position of the side door, access to a vehicle interior of the vehicle is provided. In the closed position of the side door, the side door extends across a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a plurality of pivot members, each pivotably coupled to the support structure at a first end and pivotably coupled to the side door at a second end. The side door is movable between the open and closed positions via pivotal movement of each of the plurality of pivot members relative to the support structure and pivotal movement of the side door relative to each of the plurality of pivot members.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jesse Rene Diephuis, Michael John Harmon, Andrew Brand, Ryan Wayne Warner, Andrew Smith

Patent number: 11897428Abstract: An interior system for a vehicle includes a seating assembly that is coupled to the vehicle. An armrest corresponding with and in a spaced-relationship with the seating assembly is operable to translate in a seating assembly-lateral direction from a first position to a second position. In the first position of the armrest, the armrest is a first distance from the seating assembly. In the second position of the armrest, the armrest is a second distance from the seating assembly. The first distance is greater than the second distance.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jesse Rene Diephuis, Michael John Harmon, Andrew Brand, Ryan Wayne Warner, Andrew Smith
