A seat belt system includes webbing having a solid material that is configured to effect a shape or dimensional change in response to an activation signal. In a preferred embodiment, the webbing includes a first part and a second part, each having a wide end and a narrow end. The webbing is mounted with respect to a vehicle seatback so that the webbing is positionable across an occupant between the occupant's neck and the occupant's pelvis, and is characterized by the absence of an over-the-shoulder portion.

A shoulder adjuster apparatus 10 includes an adjusting base 1 secured to a car body, a sliding base 2 mounted on the adjusting base 1, and a garnish 3 sliding together with the sliding base 2. The adjusting base 1 includes side walls 11 formed by bending both edges, which are arranged in the width direction, at about 90 degrees with respect to a flat surface 13 to be attached to the car body, and engaging portions 12 formed by bending the ends of the side walls 11 inwardly. The engaging portions 12 and the side walls 11 form acute angles. The sliding base 2 is slidably inserted into a sliding part, which is defined by the side walls 11, the engaging portions 12, and the flat surface 13. According to the structure as described above, a shoulder adjuster apparatus having excellent shock absorbency, capable of preventing degradation of performance due to deformation and the like, and having excellent safety characteristics can be provided.

A system and method for adjustment of a steering wheel position and/or airbag pressurization is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a steering wheel positioning method includes sensing occupant characteristics of an occupant in a seat facing a steering wheel. An inflator control for an airbag in the steering wheel is adjusted based on the occupant characteristics, and the steering wheel is positioned based on the occupant characteristics and the inflator control. In another embodiment, a safety restraint control method includes sensing occupant characteristics of an occupant in a seat facing a steering wheel, and determining a position of the steering wheel. An inflator control for an airbag in the steering wheel is adjusted based on the occupant characteristics and the position of the steering wheel.

Method and apparatus for adjusting one or more pedals in a vehicle including a motor for moving the pedal(s). The motor is controlled either manually or automatically based on one or more measured morphological characteristics of the driver and/or the determined location of the driver. Another apparatus and method include a measuring arrangement for measuring the height of the driver from the driver seat in the vehicle, a motor coupled to the pedal(s), and a processor or control circuit coupled to the measuring arrangement for receiving the measured height of the driver, determining a suitable position of the pedal(s) based on the measured height of the driver, which is likely satisfactory for the particular driver, and controlling the motor to move the pedal(s) to the determined position thereof. The processor may include an algorithm including a table representing measured heights and a position of the pedal(s) corresponding to each measured height.

A child's booster seat is configured to be molded in a single piece, with an upper, back portion and a lower, seat portion connected by an integral hinge. The upper and lower portions can be pivoted about the hinge so that integral mortise and tenon structures are brought into engagement and can be pinned to hold the seat in an upright, use configuration. Indicia are disposed on the upper portion to show maximum and minimum suitable seated heights for child occupants of the seat. An adjustable shoulder belt positioned is disposed on the upper portion.

A vehicle occupant restraint having an adjustable web tether utilizes a first section of webbing that is tautly positioned between the vehicle floor and an upper mounting location. A second section of webbing extends from a floor-mounted (or wall- or seat-mounted) emergency locking retractor (ELR) and through a turning point at the upper mounting location, after which the second webbing section transitions to a shoulder belt for the occupant. In order to provide a pivot point for the shoulder belt, an adjustable web tether is mounted to the first webbing section and captures the second webbing section in sliding engagement by means of a ring. The ring of the web tether therefore provides a pivot point for the shoulder strap. The vertical position of the web tether upon the first webbing section is adjustable, so that the height of the shoulder strap pivot point, and therefore the trajectory of the shoulder strap across the occupant, is adjustable.
