Patent number: 12710230Abstract: A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one shelf extending between the sidewalls, the shelf and sidewalls defining a compartment. A rack is disposed in the compartment and extends upwardly from the shelf. The rack is dimensioned and configured to support at least a pair of shoulder pads and preferably both pads and a helmet. The rack optionally includes a ventilation system, and the ventilation system may be incorporated into a multi-locker ventilation system. The locker also include a quick drying shoe drawer that is located in the bottom left of the locker. The drawer is dimensioned and configured to support at least a pair of shoes and other small equipment. The drawer also has a ventilation system pushing air through it to dry and deodorize the equipment being stored in it.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: August 18, 2026Assignee: AIM Design, LLCInventor: Sam Allen

Publication number: 20260218866Abstract: A self-lit door for a locker includes a substrate panel having a top edge and a side edge that are generally straight and connected by a corner. A non-uniform texture is formed on an exterior of the substrate panel at a location relative to the top edge and the side edge. An edge light is positioned relative to at least one of the top edge and the side edge and is in optical communication with the substrate panel through an optical coupling interface. Light introduced through an optically functional edge surface of the substrate panel propagates internally within the substrate panel and interacts with the non-uniform texture to emit visible illumination. In some embodiments, the texture defines illuminated indicia relative to surrounding regions of the substrate panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2026Publication date: July 30, 2026Applicant: AIM Design, LLCInventor: Sam Allen

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
