摘要:
An inflatable belt portion (104) is attached to a lap belt portion (112) by stitching, some of which becomes progressively detached to dissipate the forces imposed on the inflatable belt portion (104). The inflatable belt portion (104) is inflated by a hybrid inflator. The lap belt portion (112) tightens against an occupant's lap when the inflatable belt portion (104) is inflated. A coupling member (116) removably couples the lap belt portion (112) to a retainer (122) at the inner side of a seat (108). When the coupling member (116) is removed from the retainer (122), the lap belt portion (112) is wound on a retractor (124) so that the inflatable belt portion (104) is moved to an out-of-the-way position.
摘要:
A dimensionally stable case for supporting and controllably combusting propellant and/or gas-generant combustion gases is disclosed. The case is permeable to the combustion gases produced at temperatures above ambient temperature but below the auto-ignition temperature of the propellant and/or gas-generant supported therein. Further, the case is dimensionally stable without the use of metals, alloys or the like that yield shrapnel upon explosion in the barrel section of the case. Thus, an Insensitive Munitions case capable of passing cook-off tests is provided.

摘要:
An inflator device (100) that is adapted for producing a sufficient quantity of a gaseous product to substantially inflate an inflatable member (103) is disclosed. The inflator device (100) has a first stage gas source (101) in fluid communication with a second stage gas source (102), which, in turn, is in fluid communication with the inflatable member (103). The second stage gas source (102) contains a liquified gas (11) in an amount sufficient to inflate the inflatable member upon vaporization of the liquified gas (11), and the first stage gas source (101) is capable of providing a sufficient quantity of gas at a sufficiently high temperature to the second stage gas source (102) to vaporize substantially all of the liquified gas (11) in the second stage gas source (102).
摘要:
An inflatable belt system and a method of operation for a vehicle occupant restraint in which a lap belt section or torso belt section, or both, have dual load bearing portions (31, 32) with an inner portion (31) being inflatable. During inflation of the inner portion (31) the other outer belt portion (32) ruptures along a selected weakened line or area (361).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an age-stabilized and/or strengthened ammonium nitrate propellant composition wherein the strengthening agent is selected from the group consisting of azodicarbonamide, dicyandiamide, oxamide and mixtures thereof and wherein the age-stabilizing agent is a molecular sieve having a pore size of 13 angstroms or less.
摘要:
A safety belt system (30) with a lap portion (36) and a shoulder portion (37) which shoulder portion extends upwardly at an angle from a location on the lap belt portion, and more particularly a belt system including a shoulder belt angle determinant or adaptor component (25) and the method of using the angle determinant or adaptor to improve such belt system. The adaptor component of the belt which when installed in the belt system relocates the position from which the shoulder belt portion extends upwardly to and in engagement with an upper vehicle anchor. By varying the length of the adaptor component the angle at which the shoulder belt section is located is varied to accommodate vehicle occupants of different sizes including children. The angle and position of the shoulder belt is selected to properly place the shoulder belt across the occupant's torso.
摘要:
A vehicle restraint system for a seated occupant including a lap belt (16) and an inflatable member (18) mounted on the lap belt (16) and restrained by the belt when inflated. The inflatable member (18) is sized and shaped so that one inflatable member surface (18a) functions to prevent or limit inflatable member rotation by engaging a substantial area including the occupant's lap and seat thereunder. Another rearward member surface (18b) restrains occupant's torso movement. The belt (16) may pass through or around the inflatable member. The lap belt system may contain a collision detector and gas creating arrangement.
摘要:
A weapon (5) comprising a combination lethal weapon (6) and less lethal gas-powered weapon (7) mounted below the lethal weapon. The less lethal weapon is independently operable when dismounted and includes a gas valve (27), magazine (42), and gas supply (63).
摘要:
An air bag (10) is stored in a compartment (22) at the side of a vehicle seat. The bag (10) is clamped to a manifold (42) extending along the bag length. A housing (44) holding an expansible gas is disposed within the manifold (42) and is isolated from the manifold (42) by a diaphragm (66). A rupturable container (77) holding particles of a pyrotechnic material (46) is disposed in the housing (44). Ignition of the pyrotechnic material (46) causes the container (77) to rupture before the combustion of the material (46) is completed. The partially combusted pyrotechnic particles combust in the housing (44) and transfer heat to the gas in the housing (44) to expand the gas. This causes the diaphragm (66) to rupture, thereby providing gas flow to the air bag (10).
