Patent number: 12091809Abstract: An improved locker seat includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of lateral edges. A generally horizontal seat is disposed between the lateral edges of the sidewalls. In a first mode, an air source is connected to an airway formed within the seat to create an airflow. The airflow from the air source creates a first temperature differential to cool the seat. In a second mode, an external or internal heat source provides heat to a top surface of the seat, creating a second temperature differential to heat the seat. The first and second temperature differential are distributed across the top surface of the seat. The seat is hinged to be movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: AIM Design, LLCInventors: Sam Allen, John Allen

Publication number: 20210199279Abstract: A door in a locker with a textured substrate panel that has a top edge, side edge, and a texture or a patterned portion between the top edge and the side edge that creates a uniform distribution of light from a light source positioned relative to illuminated indicia. The top edge and the side edge are generally straight connected by a corner. Illuminated indicia is positioned on a surface of a substrate panel relative to the top edge, the side edge, the corner, or a combination of them. The position of the illuminated indicia includes locating it on an exterior plane, a posterior plane, or an interior plane relative to a surface of the substrate panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventor: Sam Allen
