Abstract: Airbag inflators employ gas generating compositions formed from a mixture of fuels and a mixture of oxidizers and preferably mica at levels of 1 to 5 % by weight. The gas generant composition contains a primary and secondary fuel. The primary fuel is a guanidine compound, preferably guanidine nitrate. The secondary fuel is selected from tetrazoles, triazoles and mixtures thereof at levels of 5% by weight or less of the total gas generant composition. The oxidizer system is a mixture of at least two components selected from the group consisting of transition metal oxides, alkali metal nitrates and alkaline earth metal nitrates. The novel gas generants yield inflating gases having a reduced content of undesirable gases such as nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide.

Abstract: A seat belt pretensioner acts upon the sill end of a three point seat belt. A fixed member (79) of the pretensioner is adapted to be fixed to a load bearing part of the vehicle. A movable member (99) is connected to the sill end of the seat belt (14) and is slideable with respect to the fixed member. The movable member (99) is moved in a direction that is longitudinal relative to the fixed member (79) to move the sill end of the seat belt in a pretensioning direction in response to a signal from the crash sensor. In this way the sill end of the seat belt is free to move along a connecting member when the seat belt is not under tension either from use in restraining a seat occupant and/or from a pretensioning operation.

Abstract: A band clamp (50) for securing an inflator to a mounting surface of an airbag module housing to has a metal band (51 ) formed into a loop with diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the inflator to allow the metal band (50) to be slipped over the inflator. The metal band has a fastener- receiving hole (32) through which a fastener (22) that is receivable into the mounting surface of the airbag module housing extends. The metal band has a feature (40) for tightening (40) the metal band about the inflator. The tightening creates stress in the metal band which if uncompensated tends to enlarge the fastener-receiving hole (32). The band clamp has a pair of stress relief holes (58, 60) that are larger than the fastener-receiving hole (32) for absorbing stress to abate the enlargement of the fastener- receiving hole.

Abstract: A seat belt pretensioner (20) has a straight tube (22) having a cylindrical wall (22a), a first end (24) and a second end (26). At least one. of the ends (24, 26) has an opening (32). The straight tube (22) has a first opening (38) in the wall (22a) to receive a curved tube (50). The curved tube (50) has a first end portion (52), a second end portion (56) and a central segment (54). The second end portion (56) is situated so that its center is collinear with a central axis (64) extending through the center of the straight tube (22). An axis extending through the center of the first end portion is arranged at an acute angle relative to the central axis (64). A pyrotechnic device (40) is provided at one end of the straight tube (22) to provide products of combustion to drive a piston (100) down the straight tube (22). The motion of the piston (100) moves a cable (80) in a direction to move a seat belt buckle (84) to reduce belt slack about a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A vehicle impact detection system (23) uses a piezo film sensor (28) mounted to a front bumper (24). The piezo film sensor (28) is selected and mounted to have a greater sensitivity to low-frequency shock waves as compared to high-frequency shock waves. The frequency and amplitude is then compared to a selected range of frequencies and amplitudes that are indicative of a collision with a soft tissue body. In a further embodiment the output of the piezo film sensor (28) is compared with the output of a second sensor which is more sensitive to high-frequency shock waves than to low-frequency shock waves such as a Terfenol -D based sensor (32).
