摘要:
An assembly (10) for use in a vehicle comprises a webbing guide (30) for guiding movement of seat belt webbing (14) in the vehicle and a fastener (70) for mounting the webbing guide (30) in position in the vehicle. The fastener (70) has a head portion (76). The assembly (10) further comprises a resilient cover member (80) that includes a cover portion (82) covering the head portion (76) of the fastener (70) and at least a portion (32) of the webbing guide (30). The resilient cover member (80) further includes a first rib portion (100) projecting from the cover portion (82) toward the head portion (76) of the fastener (70) and a second rib portion (110) projecting from the cover portion (82) toward the webbing guide (30). The first and second rib portions (100, 110) are resiliently crushable to absorb energy in response to an impact of a vehicle occupant's head against the cover portion (82). The resilient cover member (80) provides the assembly (10) with an HIC(d) of under 1000 determined in accordance with the United States Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201.

A side impact air bag module (10) includes an air bag (30) and an inflator (32) which is actuatable to provide inflation fluid for inflating the air bag. The air bag (30) includes first and second main body portions (70, 120) and a first retainer portion (80) which is disposed between the first and second main body portions. The first retainer portion (80) and the first main body portion (70) of the air bag (30) at least partially define a pocket (200) in the air bag in which the inflator (32) and a diffuser (34) are disposed. Stitching sections (182b, 184b) close two sides of the pocket (200).

摘要:
A vehicle occupant restraint (12) includes a length of seat belt webbing (16) extensible about a vehicle occupant and a member (140) to control the location of the seat belt webbing (16) in a vehicle. The member (140) includes a metal base portion (142) and a material layer (160) on the metal base portion (142) which converts vibration of the member (140) into heat by shearing action in the material layer (160), thereby to damp at least a portion of audible noise generated by the member (140).
