  • Patent number: 9216713
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle pedestrian protection airbag arrangement (7) comprising an airbag (9), a housing (8), an inflating device (10) and a lid (11), the airbag (9) being arranged to be inflated by the inflating device (10) in the case of a collision with a pedestrian when the airbag arrangement (7) is mounted in a vehicle (1). The lid (11) has a first side (11a), facing away from the housing (8) and a second side (11b), facing the housing (8) when the lid (11) is mounted against the housing (8). The housing has a front wall and a rear wall, in which housing the airbag is stored before inflation. The airbag arrangement (7) further comprises at least one attachment means (12a, 12b, 13a, 13b) running between the lid (11) and at least one other part (8, 9) comprised in the airbag arrangement (7). When the airbag (9) is inflated, it is at least partly positioned between the lid (11) and the housing (8).

  • Patent number: 7669894
    Abstract: An airbag system is disclosed comprising a gas generator and an airbag having at least two inflatable airbag regions. The airbag regions are attached to the gas generator by an interconnecting a T-shaped connecting piece having symmetrically opposed outlet stubs with differently sized outlet cross-sections for inflating the airbag regions. In order to neutralize the thrust of the system in case of accidental fire, several means for controlling the outlet cross-section on at least one of the outlet stubs are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6736191
    Abstract: A heat exchanger having a set of heat exchanging coils supported in a horizontal direction. The coils operate to exchange heat in fluids provided to the coils from a source device via a supply header tube and returned to the source device (or provided to a second device) via a return tube. A backbone supports the heat exchanging coils. Preferably, the backbone runs inside the heat exchanging coils. A bracket attached to the backbone secures a set of exchange tube supports to which the exchanging coils are attached. The heat exchanger provides a strong structure that is able to withstand currents and tidal action when mounted under a pier or in other aquatic environments. An adjustable riser device provides for flexible installation.
