    Abstract: The invention discloses a knee-protecting airbag apparatus (M1) including an airbag (61) folded and housed in a lower area (16a) inside the column cover (16). The airbag (61) pushes and opens a door section (34) on the column cover upon deployment. When the door section (34) is thus opened, a door (35) of the door section (34) blocks off an allowance gap (H) formed between an outer circumference (18) of the column cover (16) subjected to position adjustment and a lower area (11a) of a peripheral region (11) of an installation opening (10) on a dashboard (7) for installing the column cover (16) by locating a rear edge region (36) of the door (35) to abut on a rear side (12) of the dashboard (7) or the lower area (11a) of the peripheral region (11) of the installation opening (10) on the rear side (12) of the dashboard (7).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knee restraint device capable of ensuring a cushioning action without utilizing an air bag, and restraining knees at the time of vehicle collision by a knee restraint body accurately arranged at a restraint position. SOLUTION: The knee restraint device S1 moves the knee restraint body 25 by operation of a driving mechanism 21 so as to suppress a forward movement of the knees K of an occupant M at the time of the vehicle collision, and the restraint body 25 is provided from a standby position P1 at the time of housing the restraint body 25 to the restraint position P2 in front of the knees K of the sitting occupant M. Shock absorbing material 36 supporting the knee restraint body 25 arranged at the restraint position P2 and plastically deformed so as to absorb shock energy at the time of interference between the knees K and the knee restraint body 25 is provided on the knee restraint device S1.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knee protective device capable of suppressing increase of weight or volume, absorbing kinetic energy of knees at the time of vehicle collision, and protecting knees. SOLUTION: The knee protective device S1 has a knee protective panel 21 drawn out to a front side of the knees K of an occupant M by a driving mechanism 30 at the time of the vehicle collision. The panel 21 has a panel main body 22, and shock absorbing material 25 positioned at a front face side of the panel main body 22, capable of being plastically deformed so as to absorb the kinetic energy. The driving mechanism 30 has a support plate 33 for supporting the shock absorbing material 25, and a driving source 31 for drawing out the support plate 33 to the front side of the knees K along with the panel 21 at the time of the vehicle collision. The shock absorbing material 25 gradually reduces a cross section in a vertical direction from a panel main body side to a support plate side by making projection area of fore-and-aft direction smaller than the panel main body 22. The support plate 33 is set to be almost the same shape as that of the front face side of the shock absorbing material 25 to support the shock absorbing material 25. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
