摘要:
A side impact airbag and deployment system including an inflator is provided. The airbag has a generally B-shaped, or hour-glass, configuration and has a broad shoulder loading portion, a narrow central portion, and a broad pelvis loading portion.
摘要:
A system and a method for dissipating voltage in an electrical circuit of a vehicle. The system includes a power source and an inverter. The power source has a voltage source and a contactor. The inverter is electrically coupled to the power source and includes a device for storing an electrical charge. The contactor is opened to disconnect the voltage source before the device is discharged.

A safety restraint system (10) for a vehicle (12) includes a seat belt buckle (60) and a retractor (53) mounted approximately at or below a pelvic level of a vehicle occupant (98). A seat belt (52) extends over a side pelvic portion (97) of vehicle occupant (98) and directly prevents outward lateral displacement of the side pelvic portion (97) during a side collision event.

A side airbag apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The airbag apparatus includes an airbag that has a generally wedge shaped rear aspect when deployed. The generally wedge shaped rear aspect narrows from an upper region to a lower region. This configuration inhibits loading on the thorax of an occupant of the vehicle seated adjacent the deployed airbag. The airbag apparatus also includes an inflator, which cooperates with the airbag to supply gas thereto. Because the airbag is specifically configured to inhibit loading on an occupant's thorax, the inflator can be configured to inflate the airbag with a pressure greater than typical side airbags.

A liftgate assembly for an automotive vehicle includes an outer panel having an external periphery and a skeletonized, trussform inner panel joined to the outer panel at their mutual external peripheries. A latch assembly is mounted within a latch cavity defined by a section of the trussform inner panel and a facing portion of the outer panel. At least one standoff structure is interposed between the outer panel and the inner panel at a location adjacent to the latch cavity so as to resist deformation of the outer panel and consequent reduction in size of the latch cavity in the event that an impact is imposed upon the outer panel at a location near the latch cavity.

A side airbag (14) for a supplemental restraint system (12) of a vehicle (10) includes an inflatable bag comprised of a shoulder-receiving portion (24) and a thorax-receiving portion (26) that extends from the shoulder-receiving portion (24). This airbag (14) is moveable between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration. In the inflated configuration, the thorax-receiving portion (26) is sized thinner than the shoulder-receiving portion (24) in a lateral direction.
