    Abstract: The airbag is provided with a main chamber that deploys toward the front of the vehicle and a pre-chamber that houses the inflator and begins to deploy ahead of the main chamber in the vehicle width direction to the inside of the main chamber. Here, the main chamber is demarcated into a front region and a rear region by a demarcation. The boundary area between the main chamber and the pre-chamber is provided with a front vent that directs the expanding gas from the pre-chamber to the pre-chamber front area and a rear vent that directs the gas to the rear region.

    Abstract: There is proposed a vehicle seat configured to support an occupant (401) in a sitting position, the seat comprising: a squab (27), a backrest (28), and an airbag unit. The airbag unit comprises an inflatable bag (1) and an inflator (34). The airbag comprises an inflatable chamber (8, 9; 208). The airbag further comprises an inflatable guide (2), connected to the inflator and the inflatable chamber. Upon actuation of said inflator, said inflatable guide is at least partially inflated before the inflatable chamber, thereby initially urging the inflatable chamber away from the backrest of the seat. The airbag is configured such that after the inflatable guide is at least partially inflated, the inflatable chamber inflates into a deployed position in which it defines an inflated shroud which extends over said sitting position and provides lateral protection to said occupant of the seat in said sitting position.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an airbag device for a vehicle. The airbag device comprises: an airbag cushion which is formed in a shawl shape and deployed toward both sides of a passenger so as to wrap and restrain the entire upper body around both shoulders of the passenger when a vehicle collides; and an inflator for generating gas and supplying the gas to the airbag cushion in response to an impact detection signal when the vehicle collides. Accordingly, when a vehicle collides, the shawl-shaped airbag cushion installed on the back of a seat is inflated and deployed to restrain the both sides and front area of the upper body of a passenger around both shoulders of the passenger, thereby safely protecting the passenger.

    Abstract: A far side side airbag device provided on the side part in the center in the width direction of a backrest portion SB of either of separated seats arranged in the width direction of a vehicle, which restrains the movement of an occupant P. A cushion and an inflator expands and deploys the cushion. The cushion has a first portion and a second portion that expand and deploy onto the front surface of each of the adjacent separated seats when a signal is received to restrain the occupant and capture the side part of the occupant, and a center portion provided in between the first portion and the second portion. A protruding part is formed on the center portion in order to capture the head of the occupant.

    Abstract: A vehicle steering wheel includes a base part such as a frame, at least one added part such as a safety module, at least one centring part, and a regulating device for regulating a position of the added part on the base part. The regulating device includes at least one stud, and at least one impression. The at least one impression is arranged to receive the at least one stud in accordance with a first mounting position or at least one second mounting position, in such a manner as to impose a first position of the added part relative to the base part or to impose a second position of the added part relative to the base part.

    Abstract: A self-locking belt retractor for a seat belt device of a motor vehicle with a belt shaft body and a profile head, and a blocking device with a blocking catch mounted on the profile head. When activated, the blocking device engages in a blocked position with a vehicle-affixed interlock for the purpose of blocking the belt shaft in the belt extension direction. A force-limiting device is disposed in the force transmission path from the belt shaft body to the blocking catch. The profile head is made as two parts, with a carrier component and an insert component which are affixed together. The insert component exhibits a higher resistance to deformation than the carrier component and, when the belt shaft is blocked, forms part of the force transmission path between the blocking catch and the force-limiting device.

    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag that is wound in a rolled state, mounted in a vehicle longitudinal direction of a vehicle and deployable in a curtain-like manner in a vehicle compartment by a gas generated by an inflator in case of emergency. A cover cloth is provided so as to be wound to cover at least part of an outer circumference of the airbag extending in a longitudinal direction. The cover cloth has a first folded-back part that is formed by folding back one end of the cover cloth in a circumferential direction of the outer circumference of a cross section, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the folded airbag. An edge of the outer circumference of the airbag is held between the first folded-back part and the other end of the cover cloth.

    Abstract: A vehicle radar system (2) that is arranged to detect a plurality of objects outside a vehicle (1) and that includes a radar detector (3) and a processing unit arrangement (4). The processing unit arrangement (4) is arranged to obtain at least one total detection angle (φdT, φdT′) relative an x-axis (7) and at least one corresponding detected target Doppler velocity (vDoppler) relative the radar detector (3) for each detected object (5, 6; 10, 11). Each detected object is classified as moving or stationary, and a relation is determined between the stationary detections and the total number of detections. The processing unit arrangement (4) further is adapted to determine whether the radar detector (3) is misaligned based on the relation, where the total detection angle (φdT, φdT′) equals the sum of a known mounting angle (φm) between the x-axis (7) and the radar detector's mounting direction (8), and a detection angle (φd, φd′). The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method.

    Abstract: A seatbelt retractor configured to ease the tightness of a seatbelt felt by an occupant when the occupant wearing the seatbelt reclines a seatback. An acceleration sensor 70 includes a sensor cover 71 which tilts with a seatback, a sensor housing 72 supported swingably with respect to the sensor cover 71 and having an inertial body support surface 78 and an inertial body 73 which is displaced when the acceleration reaches at least a prescribed value. The sensor housing 72 includes an external teeth part 84 having a plurality of external teeth 81 and 82 and a gap part 83 without external teeth. A lever member 90 is coupled to the shaft 22 of the spindle 20 by a friction coupling, and the lever member turns in a first direction in which an engagement part 92 is engaged with the external teeth part 84 when the spindle 20 rotates in a seatbelt drawing-out direction and turns in a second direction in which the engagement part 92 moves apart from the external teeth part 84 when the spindle 20 rotates in a seatbelt winding-up direction.
