Inflatable Structures For Side Impact Crash Protection
US Patent:
4966388, Oct 30, 1990
Filed:
May 25, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/356533
Inventors:
Charles Y. Warner - Orem UT
Charles E. Strother - Orem UT
Donald E. Struble - Phoenix AZ

Assignee:
Collision Safety Engineering Inc. - Orem UT
International Classification:
B60R 2116, B60R 2100
US Classification:
280730
Abstract:
An inflatable protective system provides cushioning and containment of an occupant of a vehicle from side impact of the vehicle by another object. The system includes an inflatable bag which is foldabble into a collapsed, relatively compact configuration for placement within a door of a vehicle. An inflator and an impact sensor are also mounted within the door, with the inflator being in flow communication with the bag. Upon impact of the door, the sensor activates the inflator to inflate the bag. The inflated bag forms a substantially broad, planar air cushion having dimensions sufficient to extend over the window opening in the door. The inflated bag forms a shock absorbing cushion that prevents the occupant's head from striking the door elements and also acts as a cushioning barrier to restrain the occupant's head from being ejected through the window opening.
Load-Sensing Faceform For Crash Dummy Instrumentation
US Patent:
4691556, Sep 8, 1987
Filed:
Jan 31, 1986
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
AB Volvo - Goteborg
International Classification:
G01N 330, G01L 2500
US Classification:
73 12
Abstract:
A test dummy head for measuring impact surface forces and pressures applied thereto comprises a pressure-sensing face incorporated to a dummy skull structure. A plurality of thin pressure-sensitive electric films are attached to the face. The films provide electrical signals representative of a time history of pressure or force applied up to 100 individual areas of the face. A pressurized calibration chamber is employed to simplify the calibration process.
