Abstract: In a vehicle occupant restraint system provided in association with a vehicle seat for preventing a vehicle occupant from slipping forward under a seat belt in an impact situation such as a vehicle crash, a pair of support members are provided on either side of the seat frame, and pivotally support a pair of arms across which a cross member extends. The cross member comprises an energy absorbing structure adapted to undergo a controlled deformation under a load occurring as the front part of the seat bottom is raised. The energy absorbing structure may consist of a relatively deformable member wrapped around the cross member or a feature for controlling a mode of deformation of the cross member. When the cross member consists of a pipe member, the energy absorbing structure may comprise a relatively deformable member filled inside the pipe member or perforations formed in the pipe member.

Abstract: This tensioner comprises a casing, a first shaft member rotatably stored in the casing so as to be restrained from moving in its axial direction, a second shaft member in screwed engagement with the first shaft member, and a spring for applying a turning force to the first shaft member. The second shaft member is restrained from rotating relatively to the casing and allowed to move in the axial direction. An axial load from a force transmitting member, such as a chain or belt, acts on the first shaft member. An end face of the first shaft member touches a receiving surface of the casing across a washer. The end face receives the axial load that acts on the second shaft member. The flatness of at least the end face of the first shaft member is adjusted to 15 nullm or less.

Abstract: A heater plate and a support structure are provided in a chamber. First terminals are arranged on the reverse side of the heater plate. The support structure is provided with second terminals in positions opposite to the first terminals, individually. The first and second terminals are coupled mechanically and electrically to one another by means of springy joint members of an electrically-conductive material. The joint members are removably attached to the first and second terminals. The heater plate can be separated from the support structure by disengaging the joint members from the first or second terminals.

Abstract: A part of a piston is composed of a metal matrix composite. The metal matrix composite is composed of a matrix of a light metal alloy and reinforcements formed of metallic fibers mixed in the matrix. The reinforcements are formed of an alloy that consists mainly of Fe and Cr and contains Al and/or Si. The Cr content and the Al and/or Si content of the reinforcements range from 5 to 30% and from 3 to 10%, respectively. The fiber diameter of the reinforcements ranges from null20 nullm to null100 nullm. The reinforcements are formed by the melt extraction method and have irregular peripheral surfaces. Solution-treatment of the metal matrix composite is carried out within a temperature range from 470null C. to 500null C. such that formation of intermetallic compounds is restrained.
