Patent number: 10829143Abstract: An assembly is disclosed, in which a rigid ramp is rigidly connected to a tubular upper part of a steering column for interaction with a displaceable part of an instrument panel. Interaction between the tubular upper part and the displaceable part moves the displaceable part in a reliable manner out of the way during an impact scenario, during which a steering wheel is displaced towards the instrument panel. Displacement of the displaceable part by the rigid ramp permits the steering wheel to be fully displaced without the instrument panel hindering such motion.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Edward Joseph Abramoski, Paul Mark Marable, Pieter Christopher Van Ast

Patent number: 10252689Abstract: A knee airbag includes a front panel, a rear panel and first and second tethers. The first tether is between the panels and defines an outboard chamber. The second tether is between the panels and defines an inboard chamber. The tethers cooperatively define a center chamber. The chambers, in an inflated position, are substantially vertical and parallel. The inboard chamber is thinner than the other chambers. In the inflated position, the tethers respectively define first and second knee-receiving pockets.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Deepak Patel, Kris Allyn Warmann, Edward Joseph Abramoski, Zhibing Deng, Morteza Tanbakuchi

Patent number: 9969349Abstract: An airbag module for a vehicle includes an inflator disposed behind an instrument panel and an airbag arrangement. The airbag arrangement includes a cushion section configured to receive an occupant during impact and a balloon section disposed proximate a base of the cushion section and adjacent the instrument panel such that, upon inflation, the balloon section contacts and pushes against the instrument panel. This forms a swell on the cushion section adjacent to the balloon section configured to hinder movement of the occupant toward the balloon section.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: James Chih Cheng, Jaeho Cho, Jamel E.
