Abstract: A beam system of telescoping tubes is disclosed for absorbing side impacts to a passenger vehicle. A central outer tube is attached to a vehicle seat structure and extends between, e.g., a side door and the tunnel in the passenger compartment floor. Inner tubes in each end of the outer tube are moved between retracted positions to extended positions respectively engaging said tunnel and said door during vehicle operation. Each inner tube has a tapered piston carrying rolling elements for wedging against the outer tube for energy absorption upon a side impact.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has an upper body side protection device that is integrated in the back rest. The protection device comprises a gas bag which has an elongated, oval chamber via which, in the case of an intrusion, the force is introduced into the occupant principally in the region of the hip and the shoulder, in order to displace him in the direction towards the center of the vehicle.

Abstract: A lock plate and a movable plate are provided to fix a seat at an optional position, and an actuator is provided between the seat and the movable plate. The seat is moved to the rear of a vehicle body in an initial stage of impact by the actuator. Acceleration is generated in the seat through impact abutment of a collapsible tube in the actuator against a piston head in an intermediate stage of impact. In a final stage of the impact, the seat is made integral with the vehicle body. The deceleration of a vehicle body and a seat and the deceleration of an occupant can be made equal to each other at an earlier timing. The apparatus can be installed by making use of a space under the seat, whereby the necessity of securing a special vacant space for installation of the apparatus can be obviated.

Abstract: A safety seat for transportation equipment. The safety seat comprises a back, a headrest and a cushion. The back, the headrest and the cushion respectively have at least one oil-pressure damper and at least one impact barricade disposed therein. The safety seat can absorb impact energy by the back, the headrest and the cushion when the transportation equipment is subject to an impact or running on an uneven road surface. Thus, the safety seat can protect the head, the neck, the back and the hips of a passenger from injury.

Abstract: A programmable seat back damper assembly for a motor vehicle includes a generally horizontal seat cushion portion and a generally upright back portion operatively connected to the seat cushion portion. The programmable seat back damper assembly includes a recliner for operative connection to the seat back portion and the seat cushion portion. The programmable seat back damper assembly also includes a damper for operative connection to the seat back portion and the seat cushion portion and having a magneto-rheological (MR) fluid therein. The programmable seat back damper assembly further includes a controller electrically connected to the damper to control an apparent viscosity of the MR fluid to increase and decrease damping of the damper for adjusting an angle of the seat back portion relative to the seat cushion portion.

Abstract: When a load is generated in an area of seatback that supports the pelvis of the occupant at the time of vehicle collision, a trigger mechanism located at a lower support member is activated. At this time, a displacement mechanism of an upper support member becomes available for activation. Since the upper support member moves in a rearward direction, the load applied to the thoracic vertebrae of the occupant can be kept small. Accordingly, the spinal shape of the occupant can be maintained. Additionally, the vehicle seat can mitigate the impact at the time of vehicle collision.

Abstract translation: 当在车辆碰撞时在座椅靠背的支撑乘员的骨盆区域产生负载时，启动位于下支撑构件的触发机构。 此时，上支撑构件的移动机构变得可用于激活。 由于上支撑构件沿向后方向移动，所以施加到乘员的胸椎的负荷可以保持较小。 因此，可以维持乘员的脊柱形状。 此外，车辆座椅可以减轻车辆碰撞时的冲击。

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a back portion deformable forwardly when impacted from the rear by a passenger. A horizontally movable seat platform is slidably mounted to the seat frame and has restraint belts. The seat platform is normally held in an aft position until forward passenger force is applied through the lap belts to the movable platform during a crash.

Abstract: The vehicle seat of a vehicle has a seat carrier with a side part, a buckle of a safety belt positioned thereon and a vertically adjustable underframe. The underframe is provided with a sector. An engaging element is arranged on the seat carrier and is designed to cooperate with the sector gear. During normal, non-accidental circumstances of the vehicle the sector gear is in a position of rest in which the engaging element is free from the sector gear. The buckle is connected to an upper end of a means with tensile strength that is connected to cooperate with the engaging element. In an accident situation the engaging element engages the sector gear. There is provided a tightening unit for the belt that has a driving cylinder. The means with tensile strength is deflected in its direction at a point of deflection. A lower portion of the means with tensile strength runs substantially in longitudinal direction of the side part. The other end of the means with tensile strength is arranged on the driving cylinder. A holding means for the tightening unit is provided on the side part.
