VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286571 titled 'VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT DEVICE
The patent application describes a vehicle occupant restraint device that includes a driver's seat, a front passenger seat, a recognition device to determine if an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat, a center airbag, a regulating member inside the center airbag to adjust its thickness when an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat, and a release device inside the center airbag to release regulation by the regulating member in the event of a side-on collision.
- Recognition device to determine if an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat
- Regulating member inside the center airbag to adjust its thickness based on occupant presence
- Release device inside the center airbag to release regulation in case of a side-on collision
- Designed to enhance safety in the event of a side-on collision
- Innovative technology to improve occupant protection in vehicles
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems - Car manufacturers for integrating advanced safety features - Insurance companies for assessing vehicle safety standards
Problems Solved: - Enhances occupant protection in the event of a side-on collision - Improves safety measures for front passengers in vehicles
Benefits: - Increased safety for occupants during side-on collisions - Advanced technology for better vehicle safety standards
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Occupant Restraint System This technology can be utilized by car manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, potentially attracting safety-conscious consumers and improving overall market competitiveness in the automotive industry.
Questions about Vehicle Occupant Restraint Device: 1. How does the recognition device determine if an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat? The recognition device likely uses sensors or weight detection technology to determine the presence of an occupant at the front passenger seat.
2. What is the purpose of the regulating member inside the center airbag? The regulating member is designed to adjust the thickness of the center airbag to ensure optimal protection for the occupant seated at the front passenger seat.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle occupant restraint device, including: a driver's seat and a front passenger seat; a recognition device to recognize whether or not an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat; a center airbag; a regulating member provided at the interior of the center airbag to regulate a thickness of the center airbag to a thickness that is suitable at a time at which an occupant is seated at the front passenger seat; and a release device provided at the interior of the center airbag to release regulation by the regulating member, at a time at which a side-on collision of the vehicle is detected or at a time at which a side-on collision of the vehicle is predicted, in a case in which the recognition device has recognized that an occupant is not seated at the front passenger seat.
