Lower Anchor And Tethers For Children (Latch) Detection And Measurement Device
US Patent:
2005018, Sep 1, 2005
Filed:
Mar 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/791332
Inventors:
Edward Burley - Troy MI, US
Joseph Mazur - Leonard MI, US
Scott Gentry - Romeo MI, US

International Classification:
A47C001/08
US Classification:
297250100
Abstract:
A sensor for sensing when a latch of a child safety seat is coupled to a seat assembly of a vehicle. The sensor may include a first housing member that is mounted to a seat frame of the vehicle. The sensor may also include a second housing member that can move relative to the first housing member. A sensor subassembly may sense the relative movement of the second housing member. The latch of the child safety seat can be snapped onto a ring of the second housing member and subsequently tightened to secure the child seat to the vehicle. Coupling the child seat to the ring moves the second housing member relative to the first housing member. This movement is sensed by the sensor which provides an output signal. The output signal can be processed to provide an indication to the vehicle driver that the child seat has been coupled to the seat, and/or disable an airbag and/or disable a seat movement device.
Seat Belt Tension Sensor Package
US Patent:
6732592, May 11, 2004
Filed:
Mar 8, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/094842
Inventors:
Brian K. Blackburn - Rochester MI
Louis R. Brown - Oxford MI
Edward James Burley - Troy MI
Louis R. Brown - Oxford MI
Edward James Burley - Troy MI
Assignee:
BGM Engineering, Inc. - Shelby Township MI
International Classification:
G01N 308
US Classification:
73826, 73828
Abstract:
A sensor package which is reliable, low cost, simple, robust, and usable to input additional seat occupant information to an airbag controller to control airbag deployment, and which is insensitive to cross axis loading of a seat belt. A second housing member is internally interfaced with the first housing member, wherein a suspension system frictionlessly suspends the first housing member springably with respect to the second housing member. A pressure sensor is mounted to one of the first and second housings, and a biasing spring is mounted to the other of the first and second housings in axial abutment with the pressure sensor.
Sled Test Apparatus And Method For Simulating Pre-Impact Crash Event

Assignee:
Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL
International Classification:
G06G 748
US Classification:
703 8, 703 7, 738653
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and device for simulating impact conditions which has a test sled , simulated occupant ( ), and a pre-impact force-generating device. The pre-impact force-generating device can apply force directly to the simulated occupant being ( ), thereby overcoming many of the cost problems associated with applying a low and long duration force directly to a test sled ( ). The pre-impact force-generating device can be designed such that instead of providing a low and long duration force to a simulated occupant ( ), it provides a short and high impact force to the simulated occupant ( ). An impact force-generating device provides impact force directly to the sled ( ) which simulates impact conditions.

Assignee:
Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL
International Classification:
G08B 2100
US Classification:
3406861
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of determining and tracking the position of a main target (an occupant) and secondary targets, comprising the steps of: transmitting a signal T. sub. 1, of determinable period toward the location of the occupant, generating and storing a first index of data indicative of the time any received signal exceeds a determinable threshold; separating the data within the first index into definable data groups indicative of individual received signals representing potential targets; determining, in relation to each transmitted signal T. sub. 1, a common group time of receipt T. sub. c for each data group; correlating the group time of receipt to the position of the main target and secondary targets occupant.
Head Restraint For Automotive Vehicle

Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60R 22/28
US Classification:
297410, 297391
Abstract:
A head restraint system for an automotive vehicle seat includes a headrest carried upon eccentric mounting posts which may be extended telescopically from a seatback and rotated about their base axes so as to reposition the headrest not only vertically, but also horizontally. A sensor mounted in the headrest feeds back the location of an occupant's head to a system controller.
