20160121840 | AIRBAG DEVICE - An airbag device includes an inflator, an airbag, a holding member, and a gas rectifying member. The holding member has an opening to be formed at least when the airbag initiates to inflate. The holding member restricts the inflation of the airbag toward its outer periphery until the middle of the deployment of the airbag. The gas rectifying member restricts a flow of a gas toward an occupant and has an outlet port that discharges the gas toward the outer periphery of the airbag. When the airbag inflates, the gas rectifying member projects toward the occupant through the opening of the holding member, and the gas of the inflator causes the gas rectifying member to inflate until at least part of the outlet port is located at the occupant side beyond the opening of the holding member. | 05-05-2016 |

20110315731 | CARGO RETAINER DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A cargo retaining device for a vehicle includes: a pedestal part having an abutting part configured to be located so as to straddle a pair of guide pieces; an interlocking part provided on the pedestal part for retaining a cargo; a shaft body supported movably along an axis direction by the pedestal part; and a locking part formed into an elongated shape having a width dimension smaller than a width dimension of a slit between the pair of guide pieces and a length dimension larger than the width dimension of the slit, and supported by one end of the shaft body. Further, the cargo retaining device includes a locking lever supported by the other end of the shaft body, and configured so as to change a position between a locked position for pulling the locking part up to the pedestal part side and an unlocked position for causing the locking part to be apart from the pedestal part. | 12-29-2011 |
20110298201 | AIRBAG DEVICE - Closing movement of at least one of two or more air chambers is started at an early stage, and an inflated air chamber is tightly closed and maintained in an inflated state for a long time. Inside of an airbag is partitioned into air chambers, with a partitioning cloth, and a diffuser that stores a gas generator is disposed in the air chambers, through the partitioning cloth. Gas from a gas generator is rectified by the diffuser, and is supplied from outlet parts, into the air chambers, thereby inflating and deploying the air chambers. An occupant side base cloth, a semi-perimeter portion around the lower outlet part, is connected to a back-side base cloth of the airbag, and in accordance with an inflation of the lower air chamber, a tension is imposed on the occupant side base cloth from the back-side base cloth, thereby elongating the lower air chamber. This causes the base cloths to come close to each other and gradually narrow the opening width, thereby enabling the base cloths to closely stick to each other so as to close the opening of the lower outlet part. | 12-08-2011 |
20110291396 | SEATBELT RETRACTOR - A mounting concave portion with a predetermined depth is formed on a gas-pressure-receiving-side surface of a piston.

When the piston and the sealing plate are assembled together, the mounting convex portion is fitted in the mounting concave portion. By merely pushing the mounting convex portion in the mounting concave portion, the sealing plate and the piston can be integrated, which improves productivity in assembly. Further, the sealing plate will not get twisted, deviated or displaced due to friction against inner wall of the pipe cylinder when the sealing plate and the piston are integrally inserted in the pipe cylinder. Deterioration of sealing function due to improper mounting of the sealing plate can be avoided. | 12-01-2011 |
20110266822 | CARGO NET DEVICE - A pair of parallel pins abutting against the inner peripheral surface of a hollow shaft are provided to a first arm part of a shank at a predetermined spacing in the longitudinal direction.
