Emergency Locking Mechanism With Orientation Control

View page
US Patent:
57161020, Feb 10, 1998
Filed:
Sep 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/721283
Inventors:
Gary M. Ray - Royal Oak MI
Gene L. Scofield - Warren MI
Assignee:
TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. - Lyndhurst OH
International Classification:
A62B 3502
US Classification:
297478
Abstract:
An apparatus (10) includes a vehicle seat (12) with an upper frame (28) supported to tilt on a lower frame (18). An emergency locking mechanism (60) is supported on the upper frame (28). The apparatus (10) further includes an orientation mechanism (106) including an elongated flexible driving member (114). The orientation mechanism (106) moves the driving member (114) longitudinally in one direction upon tilting of the upper frame (28), and moves the driving member (114) longitudinally in an opposite direction upon opposite tilting of the upper frame (28). The orientation mechanism (106) tilts the emergency locking mechanism (60) a controlled amount relative to the upper frame (28) in response to longitudinal movement of the driving member (114).

US Patent:
58820841, Mar 16, 1999
Filed:
Oct 24, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/957795
Inventors:
Lawrence J. Verellen - Washington MI
Gene L. Scofield - Warren MI
Chhay S. Siev - Dryden MI
Assignee:
TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. - Lyndhurst OH
International Classification:
A47C 3100
US Classification:
297478
Abstract:
A seat belt retractor (10) for mounting on a vehicle seat back (22) includes a spool (110) on which seat belt webbing (32) is wound. The retractor (10) includes inertia sensing means (40) for blocking rotation of the spool (110) in a belt withdrawal direction (124) in response to vehicle deceleration above a predetermined deceleration. The inertia sensing means (40) comprises a first inertia member (222) movable from an unactuated position to an actuated position in response to vehicle deceleration above a predetermined deceleration, and sensor means (230) operable to block rotation of the spool (110) in the belt withdrawal direction (124) in response to movement of the first inertia member (222) from the unactuated position to the actuated position. The sensor means (230) is operable to block rotation of the spool (110) in the belt withdrawal direction (124) in response to tilting of the vehicle seat back (22) by an amount more than a predetermined amount when the first inertia member (222) is in the unactuated position.
