The sensor includes a ring-like coil parallel to the object, a housing for the coil that is coaxial with the coil, and a sensor bracket between the coil housing and the mounting portion. The sensor bracket includes a ring-like peripheral portion joined along a ring-like portion of the coil housing, a bottom portion spaced apart from and extending on the opposite side of the object with regard to the coil housing, and a standing portion between the peripheral portion and the bottom portion. The sensor detects a distance between the coil and the object based on a variation in current flowing through the coil. | 08-06-2009 |
20090230662 | Attaching structure for air belt inflator - An inflator attaching structure is capable of firmly attaching an inflator to a seat member or the like. An inflator attaching structure includes an attaching clamp that is composed of a main plate connected to a seat frame, and a sub-plate attached to the main plate, and an inflator is sandwiched between the main plate and the sub-plate. When attaching the inflator to the attaching clamp, a hook portion of the sub-plate is hooked on a hook-portion hooking opening of the main plate, and thereafter the fastening portion and the base piece portion are fastened by a bolt upon situating the fastening portion of the sub-plate in parallel with the base piece portion of the main plate in a manner so as to sandwich the inflator between the main plate and the sub-plate. | 09-17-2009 |
20090243262 | AIRBELT SYSTEM - There is provided an airbelt system in which an inflator and an anchor are mounted to the seat base without using a flexible pipe and with a relatively simple structure. An anchor | 10-01-2009 |

20100078917 | Side impact crash detection system - A side impact crash sensor that operates in conjunction with displacement of a door outer panel of a vehicle door in the event of a side impact crash. The side impact crash sensor comprises a sensor housing coupled to a vehicle door member in a sectioned region of the door and a pendulum rotates around a rotating shaft secured to the sensor housing in the event of a side impact crash. The pendulum is conductive and is housed in a housing space of the sensor housing. The side impact crash sensor further comprises a detecting section including a conductive coil energized by an alternating current secured to the sensor housing. The detecting section detects a rotation operation mode of the pendulum on the basis of a change in impedance of a conductive coil which occurs in conjunction with a rotation operation of the pendulum. | 04-01-2010 |
20100276532 | Seatbelt apparatus - A seatbelt apparatus is provided which can constrain a passenger by ensuring removal of a slack of a lap belt when two pretensioners are activated under two different time frames. A pretensioner of a seatbelt retractor is activated first, and a shoulder belt and a lap belt are pulled in a direction toward the seatbelt retractor. Subsequently, a pretensioner of a belt anchor portion is activated and pulls a seatbelt toward the belt anchor portion, and hence a one-way tongue catches and locks the seatbelt. Accordingly, the shoulder belt is prevented from moving toward the lap belt through the tongue. Therefore, removal of the slack of the lap belt is ensured, and hence a lumber of the passenger is firmly fixed. | 11-04-2010 |
20110231067 | COLLISION DETERMINATION SYSTEM, OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE - The invention provides an effective technique for appropriately restraining a vehicle occupant at the time of a side collision of a vehicle. An occupant restraint system mounted to a vehicle comprises a camera, a side impact sensor, an acceleration sensor, an ECU, and an airbag module. The ECU changes a threshold value setting for collision velocity at the time of a side collision of the vehicle according to whether or not a colliding object involved in the side collision of the vehicle is a pole-like object, and controls the airbag module based on the set threshold value. | 09-22-2011 |
20110260433 | SIDE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM - In order to precisely detect a side collision of a vehicle with a simple configuration, an air bag device has an acceleration sensor which is for detecting a side collision and which is attached to the beam of the vehicle. Hence, in comparison with a case in which a displacement sensor for detecting a side collision is used, the air bag device can have a simplified configuration. Moreover, unlike the displacement sensor, the acceleration sensor needs no adjustment of a positional relationship with a measurement target. Accordingly, the initial adjustment of the air bag device can be carried out within a short time, resulting in a reduction of a production cost of the air bag device. | 10-27-2011 |
20120256405 | SIDE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM, OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A control device is provided with a first collision determiner for determining a side collision to a vehicle based on velocity in a direction orthogonal to the advancing direction of the vehicle, and a second collision determiner for determining a side collision to the vehicle based on a displacement amount and displacement velocity of an acceleration sensor provided in a door of the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling at a relatively high velocity, the control device detects a side collision to the vehicle using the determination result of the first collision determiner and the determination result of the second collision determiner. In addition, when the vehicle is traveling at a low velocity or is stopped, the control device detects a side collision to the vehicle using the determination result of the first collision determiner, without using the determination result of the second collision determiner. | 10-11-2012 |
