    Abstract: A vehicle braking arrangement includes a braking plate and a link arm arranged to connect the braking plate to a vehicle. The braking plate is movable from a rest position to a braking position where contact is made with the ground. The braking plate is arranged for a first mode of operation, corresponding to the rest position, and a second mode of operation, corresponding to the braking position. In the first mode of operation, the braking plate has a first contact area arranged to face the ground, and in the second mode of operation, the braking plate has a second contact area arranged to face the ground. The second area exceeds the first area.

    Abstract: A seat belt retractor includes a belt shaft pivot-mounted in a retractor frame, wherein the belt shaft shows an at least two-part design with a first and a second part. A load limiting device includes at least two parts, which can be moved relative to each other and have teeth, with which they alternately engage and disengage. Each of the parts of the load limiting device is allocated to a different part of the belt shaft. A tensioning device is located on the second part of the belt shaft and, upon activation, abruptly drives the belt shaft in the winding direction. One of the parts of the load limiting device, via a transmission device, is connected in a rotationally-fixed manner to the second part of the belt shaft through the first part, which is a hollow shaft.

    Abstract: An airbag device for restraining an occupant even during an oblique collision and suppressing head injury values. An airbag device 100 includes: a passenger bag 112 which deploys on a front side of a passenger seat 104; a center bag 114 which deploys on an inner side in a vehicle width direction; a slit 128 which separates the passenger bag 112 and the center bag 114 from each other on a vehicle rearward side; and a tether belt 122 which which is connected to a first connecting part 124 on the center bag 114 and a second connecting part 126 on the passenger bag 112. The tether belt 122 is tensioned as the passenger bag 112 and the center bag 114 expand and deploy, and the center bag 114 restrains a side of the occupant head E1a while being supported by the tether belt 122.

    Abstract: A safety device for use in a vehicle includes an air-bag inflatable by a gas source. At least part of the air-bag is woven and includes a plurality of generally parallel woven yarns. An elongate tether is attached to the air-bag by an attachment arrangement including a first portion in which part of the tether passes between two adjacent yarns of the air-bag from one side to another side of the air-bag and partly around at least two adjacent yarns on one side of the air-bag. The arrangement incorporates a second portion in which the tether is interwoven with a pre-determined number of single adjacent yarns of the air-bag. The arrangement incorporates a third portion in which the tether passes between two adjacent yarns of the air-bag from one side to another side of the air-bag and partly around at least two adjacent yarns on one side of the air-bag.

    Abstract: A power transmission mechanism (19) for transmitting power from a motor (34) to a spindle (12) having a clutch housing (50), a pawl (41) engageable with the clutch housing (50), a gear wheel (57) which holds the pawl (41) and rotates with the rotation of the motor (34), an outer gear cover (26), and a friction ring (42) engaging with the pawl (41) and held on the outer gear cover (26) by frictional force. The friction ring (42) is provided with a protruding portion (42a) which engages with an engagement groove (41b) of the pawl (41), and a plurality of contact pieces (42b) in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a small diameter ring portion (26c) of the outer gear cover (26) and press radially against the outer peripheral surface towards an inner side The friction ring can be easily coupled to the outer gear cover.

    Abstract: A vehicle radar system having a signal generator (13) that generates a FMCW chirp signal (4) with a plurality of frequency ramps (r) running between a first frequency (fstart) and a second frequency (fstop). At the second frequency (fstop), the signal generator (13) is controlled to output an output signal (4) with an output frequency (Fout) for initializing a further frequency ramp (r′) using a frequency control signal (31) corresponding to a desired frequency (39) with an initial desired frequency part (39a) and at least one further desired frequency part (39b). The initial desired frequency part (39a) runs from the second frequency (fstop) to an intermediate frequency (fi) between the first and second frequency (fstart, fstop)), and the further desired frequency part (39b) runs from the intermediate frequency (fi) to the first frequency (fstart). The duration of the initial desired frequency part (39a) falls below the duration of the further desired frequency part (39b).
