Abstract: A seat belt routing sensing system for a seat belt of a vehicle is provided. The seat belt includes a latch plate. The seat belt routing sensing system includes a seat belt buckle mounting assembly and a sensor. The seat belt buckle mounting assembly includes a first bracket or a first strap. The first bracket or the first strap is configured to connect to a seat belt buckle. The sensor is attached directly or indirectly to the first bracket, the first strap, or the seat belt buckle and is configured to detect changes in a parameter. The changes are indicative of (i) at least one of a bending moment, a force, an angular position, or an angular movement of the first bracket or first strap, and (ii) routing of the seat belt.

Abstract: One general aspect includes an airbag module, including: a housing. The airbag module also includes a cushion disposed within the housing. The airbag module also includes a chute having a first side and a second side with a seam centrally formed therebetween, where each of the first and second sides include a plurality of fingers which operatively cooperate to define a track configured to slidably attach the housing to the chute such that the chute sufficiently encloses the cushion within the housing, and where the chute is configured to open during deployment of the cushion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a restraint system. In one embodiment, a retractor assembly for a restraint system includes a retractor body defining a retractor axis and a retractor spool coupled to the retractor body. The retractor spool is configured to accept a retractor belt. A pivot component is configured to rotatably secure the retractor body to a mounting structure such that, when a loading force is applied to the retractor spool via the retractor belt, the retractor axis rotates to substantially align with the loading force.
