| 20120139324 | VEHICLE SEAT - An anchor plate ( | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120205960 | Passenger Restraint Attachment - A passenger restraint attachment for use by a passenger when wearing a passenger restraint having a shoulder harness for securing an upper torso of the passenger. The passenger restraint attachment includes a cushion having an upper portion including a shoulder harness receiver. A lower portion of the cushion has an S-shaped lower surface for engaging the body of the passenger. | 08-16-2012 |

| 20100052401 | RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR A SUSPENDABLE VEHICLE SAFETY SEAT - A restraint system for may include a vehicle seat suspended above a floor of a vehicle and a restraint harness coupled to the vehicle seat and configured to restrain an occupant of the seat. The restraint harness may include at least one shoulder web configured to extend over a shoulder of an occupant of the seat and at least one lap web configured to extend over a lap of the occupant. At least one deformable member may be attached to the vehicle seat and configured to deform and dissipate energy when a force is applied thereto by the at least one shoulder web in response to an upward transient force of sufficient magnitude applied to the vehicle seat. A restraint harness pre-tensioning system may be responsive to a signal produced by a vehicle event sensor to tighten the at least one lap web about the occupant. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100052402 | CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICE WITH ENERGY ABSORBING REGIONS - Energy absorbing webbing is provided for use in child safety seat and child restraint devices. A harness system includes energy-absorbing regions into the construction of the harness to allow some release or extension of the harness during use. The energy-absorbing regions of the harness are formed using energy-absorbing webbing in a given region or regions to permit the webbing to extend or elongate so that strong forces are not fully and directly imparted to the child. The energy-absorbing region may be installed at various positions within the child safety seat and harness system and may be incorporated into the child safety harness as original equipment or as a retrofit feature. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20140008959 | CHILDCARE DEVICE INCLUDING INFLATABLE SAFETY ELEMENTS - A child care device is configured to receive a child. The device includes a child-restraint harness including first and second shoulder straps and inflatable elements associated with each shoulder strap. | 01-09-2014 |
| 20140252841 | Child Safety Seat With Shock Absorber Having Compression-Type Soft Material Resilient Member - A child safety seat utilizes a compression-type resilient shock absorber in which a soft-material resilient member serves to dampen shocks applied to the seat's harness assembly by undergoing compressive deformation in a way that prevents the harness safety belts from experiencing a “hard stop”. The resilient member (e.g., a foam rubber block, a gel-like substance, or a fluid-filled bladder) is disposed such that one portion is held against a rigid support (e.g., the backside surface of the seat's shell), and a second portion is operably coupled to a fixed end of a safety belt. The resilient shock absorber is oriented such that tension applied to the safety belt pulls the two end portions of the resilient member toward each other and against the rigid support, thereby causing the resilient member to compressively deform against the rigid support. | 09-11-2014 |
| 297472000 | Element is permanently deformed; i.e., one-time use | 3 |
| 20100096902 | Seatbelt retractor and seatbelt apparatus having the same - A seatbelt retractor for retracting a seatbelt includes a spool for retracting the seatbelt, a locking mechanism having a locking member rotating together with the spool in a normal state and prevented from rotating in a direction of withdrawal of the seatbelt so as to cause a relative rotation with respect to the spool in case of emergency, and an energy absorbing pin provided to the spool and the locking member for limiting a load applied on the seatbelt at a time of the relative rotation between the spool and the locking member. The energy absorbing pin includes a lubricating coating layer formed thereon. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100117437 | Seat belt retractor and seat belt apparatus - A seat belt retractor includes a cylindrical member, a torsionally deformable shaft arranged inside the cylindrical member and having one end side connected to the cylindrical member, a plate mounting member arranged in the cylindrical member and disposed on an outer periphery of the shaft, a locking mechanism for preventing a rotation of the plate mounting member, and a plate member having one end portion fixed to the plate mounting member and the other end portion engaging an inner periphery of the cylindrical member. The plate member is plastically deformable so that the plate member is wound onto the plate mounting member. The plate mounting member includes a first reducing radius portion having a radius gradually decreasing toward a downstream in a winding direction, and a second reducing radius portion located on the downstream side and having a radius reducing rate greater than that of the first reducing radius portion. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20160159317 | SEAT BELT FOR VEHICLE - A seat belt for a vehicle comprises a first tongue coupled to a first webbing, the first webbing configured to cover portions of a shoulder, a chest, and an abdomen of a passenger; a first buckle coupled to the first tongue; a second tongue coupled to a second webbing, the second webbing configured to cover portions of the abdomen of the passenger; a second buckle coupled to the second tongue; and an actuator configured to upwardly pull the first tongue and the first buckle, wherein the first buckle is coupled to the second buckle; and upon a collision of the vehicle, the actuator operates to separate the first buckle from the second buckle, and the first webbing moves upward, restricting a movement of an upper body of the passenger. | 06-09-2016 |
