Abstract: A restraint system for a vehicle is disclosed. The restraint system includes a seat shaped to accommodate an occupant, wherein the seat includes a seat back and an energy absorption member that expands from a stowed position and into a deployed position. The energy absorption member fills a volume of space behind the seat back when in the deployed position to absorb energy that would otherwise be imparted towards an occupant of the seat during an impact involving the vehicle. The restraint system also includes an impact sensing device generating an impact signal in response to detecting the impact involving the vehicle is imminent. The impact signal indicates an orientation and magnitude of the impact involving the vehicle. The restraint system includes a control module in electronic communication with the energy absorption member and the impact sensing device.

Abstract: An adjustable steering column assembly includes a steering column and a lever moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The position of the steering column is adjustable when the lever is in the unlocked position and fixed when the lever is in the locked position. An anti-unlocking device is provided to prevent the lever from moving to the unlocked position from the locked position when a first force is applied to the steering column. The anti-unlocking device prohibits adjustment of the steering column when a first force is applied to the steering column. An example anti-unlocking device may include a member defining a slot, with the lever being at least partially insertable in the slot in the unlocked and locked positions. The member includes a wall defining a ramp surface configured to abut at least one surface of the lever when the first force is applied.

Abstract translation: 可调转向柱组件包括转向柱和可在解锁位置和锁定位置之间移动的杠杆。 当杠杆处于未锁定位置时，转向柱的位置是可调节的，并且当杠杆处于锁定位置时固定。 提供防解锁装置，以防止当向转向柱施加第一力时，杠杆从锁定位置移动到解锁位置。 当第一力施加到转向柱时，防解锁装置禁止转向柱的调节。 示例性防解锁装置可以包括限定狭槽的构件，其中杆至少部分地可插入解锁和锁定位置中的狭槽中。 该构件包括限定了斜坡​​表面的壁，该斜面构造成当施加第一力时抵靠杆的至少一个表面。
