摘要:
A hydrophilized membrane of a porous hydrophobic material having micropores each defined by a surface at least part of which is coated with a hydrophilizing agent which is solid at about 20.degree. C. and substantially insoluble in water. The hydrophilizing agent is preferably selected from monofatty acid esters of propylene glycol. Also disclosed are processes for hydrophilizing such porous hydrophobic membranes.

A side airbag apparatus is provided with an inflator, and an airbag. The airbag is stored in a vehicle seat, is inflated and deployed by gas from the inflator, breaks the vehicle seat so as to jump out, and is inflated and deployed between a body side portion of a vehicle and the vehicle seat. In this side airbag apparatus, a controller predicts a side collision of the vehicle, and makes the inflator start an actuation in advance of the side collision in response to the prediction. Further, in the airbag inflated and deployed in accordance with the actuation start of the inflator, a deploying speed of the airbag is lowered in comparison with the deploying speed at a time of starting the actuation of the inflator after the side collision, at least outside the vehicle seat.

A pedestrian protection system is mounted in the front portion of a vehicle, and includes a controller, a forward movement holding mechanism controlled in actuation by the controller, and a contact body that a pedestrian can contact. The controller, when having predicted a collision of a pedestrian with the vehicle based on a signal from a collision predicting sensor, actuates the forward movement holding mechanism to cause a forward movement of the contact body, and based on a signal from a turn sensor when the forward movement holding mechanism carries out an upward rotation or a downward rotation at the time of contact of the forwardly moved contact body with a pedestrian, controls actuation of the restraint body so as to correspond to a pedestrian moving to a front upper side of the vehicle and a pedestrian moving to a front lower side of the vehicle, respectively.

An air bag system M includes an air bag 40 which can cover a front surface 1a side of a front pillar 1 of a vehicle V, an inflator 55, an air bag cover 65, a case 61 which stores and holds the air bag and the inflator and holds the air bag cover, and bolts 59 which are provided so as to extend from the case for mounting the air bag system on to an installation portion of a front side door 11. A portion of an outer reinforcement 19 which reinforces an outer panel 18 of the front side door is configured as a mounting portion 20 of the front side door where the bolts are attached, and the air bag system M is installed at a portion of the front side door which lies in proximity to a belt line 14 on a side facing a vehicle's outer side by the bolts 59 being attached to the mounting portion 20 on the outer reinforcement.

An air bag device for pedestrian includes an inflator which discharges an inflating gas, in operation, and an air bag which is inflated with the inflating gas supplied from the inflator thereby to cover a front face of the front pillar. The air bag is contained in a folded state, in an area covered with the front fender panel which is positioned in front of a front pillar and outside of a vehicle along a lateral direction of a hood panel. The front fender panel includes a cover part which is positioned at its back edge close to the front pillar, and arranged so as to cover an upper part of the air bag in the folded state. The cover part is deformed and opened, when it is pressed with the air bag which is being inflated, thereby to protrude the air bag so that the air bag can cover the front face side of the front pillar.

An occupant restraint apparatus includes a head protecting airbag which is housed on an upper part of windows. In the airbag, a front end portion of a lower edge thereof is connected to a pretensioner situated in the vicinity of a lower portion of a pillar portion, via a connecting material, and a rear end portion on the lower edge is connected to a guide block, which engages with a guide rail of a pillar portion, via a connecting material. When the airbag is deployed, a tension is generated in the lower edge of the airbag between the connecting materials by moving the block downward and by hauling by the pretensioner.
摘要:
A lens device equipped with a G1 lens that transmits light in a direction of an optical axis and a fixed diaphragm that passes the light that has been passed through the G1 lens through an aperture open through in the direction of the optical axis toward a direction opposite to the G1 lens. A washer is provided between the G1 lens and the fixed diaphragm so as to face the G1 lens at a portion corresponding to a portion outside the aperture of the fixed diaphragm. The G1 lens is bonded to a rib of which position is fixed to the optical axis with an adhesive.

A head-protecting airbag of the present invention includes an airbag body having a gas admissive portion for covering side windows upon deployment, and a belt for pulling a lower part of the airbag body toward exterior of vehicle during deployment. The gas admissive portion includes an initially inflatable portion located along upper edge of the airbag body, and a protective portion located at side of an occupant's head. The protective portion includes a main cell that inflates thickly when a temporary joint joining the inner wall and the outer wall is separated. The airbag body folded together with the belt and housed above the windows is provided, in the initially inflatable portion, with a folded and piled portion folded and piled in vertical direction, and below the folded and piled portion, with a roll-folded portion rolled toward exterior of vehicle from lower edge side. The head-protecting airbag of the present invention is developed smoothly and stably in a clearance between the side windows and occupants' heads, even if the clearance is narrow.
摘要:
A head-protecting airbag of the present invention is folded and housed in upper edges of side windows, and is deployable downward when inflation gas flows in between its vehicle's inner wall and outer wall. The airbag includes a protective portion located at side of an occupant's head. The protective portion includes a temporary joint. The joint joins the inner wall and the outer wall together, and separates the inner wall and the outer wall when an inner pressure of the protective portion rises after the protective portion completes development. The airbag of the present invention assures a swift development in an initial stage of inflation, and after completing development, so inflates as to have sufficient cushioning property.

An occupant restraining device (S1) comprises a shielding member (51F) and an airbag (104F). The shielding member (51F) in action is deployed from the peripheral edge (DW) of a window (WF) of a vehicle to shield the window. The airbag (104F) in action is expanded and inflated from the peripheral edge (UW) of the window that it can be interposed between the shielding member (51F) and an occupant (M). The airbag (104F) allows the side of the lower end (105b) at the time of completion of the expansion and inflation to move in the direction generally perpendicular to the window (WF). Even if the occupant (M) is close to the window (WF), the expanded and inflated airbag (104F) is smoothly interposed between the occupant (M) and the window (WF).
