    摘要: An apparatus (20) for use in simulating vehicle side impacts includes a target sled (24) and a bullet sled (26). A door structure (46) is disposed on the target sled (24). A seat (44) is disposed on the target sled (24) adjacent to an inner side (58) of the door structure (46) to support a test dummy (22) in a desired relationship with the door structure. A safety apparatus (178) with an air bag (182) is supported adjacent to the door structure (46) and the seat (44). Upon impacting of the bullet sled (26) against an outer side (60) of the door structure (46), the air bag (182) is inflated and the door structure is moved relative to the seat (44). As this occurs, a connector assembly (238) interconnects the door structure (46) and the bullet sled. Continued movement of the bullet sled (26) and door structure (46) relative to the target sled (24) moves the seat (44) along tracks (154 and 156) disposed on the target sled (24). After the bullet sled (26) has moved the door structure (46) to a predetermined position relative to the target sled (24), the bullet sled engages the target sled and moves the target sled and the deceleration of the bullet sled and target sled are controlled.

    摘要: A door assembly (10) for an inflatable vehicle occupant restraint module (14) includes two doors (80, 100) which are pivotally mounted for movement between a closed position and an open position. The doors (80, 100) cover an opening (28) through which an inflatable air bag (22) deploys. Each door (80, 100) has at least one finger portion (120, 140, 152, 154) which overlaps the other door when the doors are in the closed position. The overlapping finger portions (120, 140, 152, 154) prevent inward pivoting movement of the doors (80, 100). A retainer assembly (200) holds the doors (80, 100) in the closed position and releases the doors to pivot outward upon inflation of the air bag (22). The retainer assembly (200) includes a frangible member (224) which ruptures.

    摘要: An inflatable vehicle occupant restraint system comprises a source of inflation fluid (20) and an air bag reaction canister (24) having a vent opening (16) through which inflation fluid from the source of inflation fluid (20) may be vented away from the air bag canister (24). An air bag (12) is located in the air bag reaction canister (24) and is inflatable by inflation fluid from the source of inflation fluid (20). A valve member (30) is located on the air bag reaction canister (24). The valve member (30) is movable relative to the vent opening (16) in response to ambient temperature variations in the vicinity of the source of inflation fluid (20) to control venting of inflation fluid from the source of inflation fluid (20) through the vent opening (16). Inflation of the air bag (12) is thereby controlled in response to ambient temperature variations in the vicinity of the source of inflation fluid (20).

    摘要: A length of shoulder belt webbing is extensible around the torso of a vehicle occupant to restrain forward movement of the vehicle occupant in the vehicle. A webbing guide guides the belt webbing around the body of the vehicle occupant. In response to vehicle deceleration at a rate above a predetermined rate, a pyrotechnic charge directs gas under pressure into an expansible chamber to move the webbing guide upward on the vehicle to tension belt webbing extending through the webbing guide. A gas outlet enables controlled flow of gas out of the expansible chamber to allow controlled downward movement of the webbing guide under tension in the belt webbing resulting from forward movement of the vehicle occupant subsequent to upward movement of the webbing guide. The webbing guide may be height adjustable by the vehicle occupant. The pyrotechnic charge may be connected with the webbing guide for movement with the webbing guide.

    摘要: An air bag module (12) is mounted for rotation with a vehicle steering wheel (14) which has a steering axis (90). The module (12) includes an inflator (10) having separately actuatable first and second stages (40, 40a). The stages (40, 40a) include, respectively, first and second chambers (60, 60a) and an inflation fluid source (120, 120a) in each chamber for providing inflation fluid to inflate an air bag (16). An axis (58) of the first chamber (60) extends parallel to and is spaced apart from an axis (58a) of the second chamber (60a). The axes (58, 58a) of the chambers (60, 60a) extend transverse to the steering axis (90) on opposite sides of the steering axis.
