摘要： A vehicle body end structure has a longitudinal frame member connected to a transverse frame member by curved parts to disperse the load when the vehicle undergoes an end (rear or front) collision. In particular, wedge-shaped open spaces exist between the interior surfaces of the transverse frame member and the corresponding wall surfaces of the curved parts that face the interior surfaces. Consequently, when the vehicle undergoes an end collision, the inward collapsing of the transverse frame member causes the curved parts to gradually undergo bending deformation while being folded over such that the curved parts touch against the transverse frame member. Deformation control structures are provided on the curved parts to prevent localized stress concentration from occurring and enable the curved parts to deform in a stable manner. Thus, the curved parts are prevented from undergoing acute bending and the input load is absorbed more efficiently.

摘要： A vehicle front end structure is configured to handle a front collision by using one or more inflatable bags to bear the collision load and produce a stable reaction force. The front inflatable bag is provided in a region where a colliding object can contact the front end of a vehicle body and configured such that it can deploy and inflate into a wall surface-like shape immediately before a collision. As a result, the collision load of a front collision can be absorbed efficiently. Additionally, since the inflated front inflatable bag serves to bear the collision load as a surface, it can generate a stable reaction force irregardless of the angle at which the collision load is imparted, the size of the colliding object, or size of the overlap ratio.

摘要： An impact energy absorbing knee bolster system is basically provided with a lateral offset input restriction structure and a vertical offset input absorption structure. The lateral offset input restriction structure restricts a lateral offset input component of an impact load imparted by a passenger's knee against the knee bolster to lateral direction and promotes deformation of the knee bolster during a collision. The vertical offset input absorption structure absorbs a vertical offset input component of the impact load imparted by the passenger's knee against the knee bolster and to promote deformation of the knee bolster during the collision.

摘要： A vehicle body front section structure is provided with longitudinal frame members that are connected by curved parts to the back surface of a widthwise frame member to disperse the load when the vehicle undergoes a front collision. In particular, wedge-shaped open spaces exist between the back surface of the widthwise frame member and the wall surface of the curved part of each longitudinal frame member that faces the back surface. Consequently, when the vehicle undergoes a front collision, the rearward collapsing of the widthwise frame member causes the curved part to gradually undergo bending deformation while being folded over in such a manner that the wall surface thereof that faces the back surface touches against the back surface.

摘要： A vehicle headrest apparatus has a headrest unit mounted to an upper end of a seatback. The headrest unit has a headrest members with a head restraining member configured to be tensioned to restrain a passenger's head upon a rear-end collision. The headrest unit quickly and reliably restrains a seated passenger's head during a rear-end collision without utilizing the inertia force of the passenger's body by detecting the rear-end collision and pushing the headrest unit only outward in the forward direction of the vehicle. The headrest unit also has a swing/pushup device that to pushes the headrest members upwardly and forwardly. An auxiliary swing force adding device applies an auxiliary spring force in the deployment direction of the headrest members to increase the deployment speed of the headrest members and shorten the amount of time required to achieve initial contact between the passenger's head H and the head restraining member.
