VEHICLE AIR-BAG MINIMUM DISTANCE ENFORCEMENT APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM
Abstract:
A vehicle air-bag minimum enforcement apparatus for use with a first air-bag and a first seat mounted within a passenger compartment of a vehicle, the apparatus including a first seat position adjusting mechanism to movably connect the first seat with respect to the vehicle, and to allow the first seat to move relative to the first air-bag along a first axis between a forward-most position and a rearward-most position, in which the forward-most position is a position of the first seat in which a distance between a passenger seated in the first seat and the first air-bag is equal to a minimum clearance distance, displacement of the first seat away from the forward-most position increasing the distance between the first seat and the first air-bag, and the first air-bag is fixedly positioned with respect to one of a steering wheel assembly for a driver and a dashboard arrangement for a passenger other than the driver, in which the minimum clearance distance is the distance between a reference line of a seat-back of the first seat less a predetermined protrusion of an occupant. The predetermined protrusion of the occupant is one of a fixed distance, and an actual occupant protrusion. The actual occupant protrusion is determinable based on an extracted seat belt length.
