Abstract: There is provided a side airbag for an automobile having airbag modules 100, 200, 300, which selectively includes reinforcing pads, an inner cushion pad, a tube-type tether and a tear seam, all of which are piled in multi-layers, so that the side airbag may be developed with regulating the gas pressure duration without eccentricity, in a useful and effective manner to successfully protect a driver and passengers seated in the vehicle. The cushion pads used in the side airbag require a small amount of materials, are easily seamed and easily folded, so as to reduce costs.

Abstract: A locking state detecting apparatus of a buckle includes a hall sensor, a switching element, and resistors. Operation of the hall sensor is based on the locking state of the buckle. The operating state of the hall sensor affects the operating state of the switching element, which in turn affects voltage values that fall across the resistors. An electronic control unit senses the voltage values across the resistors to determine the operating state of the hall sensor and detects the locking state of the buckle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a seat belt buckle. The seat belt buckle comprises a body frame; a release button slidably coupled to the body frame for unlatching a seat belt tongue from the seat belt buckle; a locking lever capable of being pivotally rotated about wings by a predetermined angle; a slider for supporting and fixing the locking lever; and an ejector for pushing the tongue in a longitudinal direction which is a lengthwise direction of the body frame. The body frame has an arch-shaped supporting beam which is integrally formed with the body frame in a manner such that the supporting beam is erected in a vertical direction. The supporting beam serves to limit movement of the slider and increase structural rigidity of the seat belt buckle. The slider has a width which is greater than that of the body frame and possesses shock-absorbing means for increasing durability of the seat belt buckle. The slider is formed with inclined projections.

Abstract: A control system for a seatbelt retractor for a seatbelt retractor is to perform the operating performance test of the retractor mounted on a holder structure with at least one sensor and a locking device cooperating therewith throughout a wider range of tilt angle using a PLC, in which the control system includes a motor control portion connected to the PLC to control the rotation of motors at a tilt angle to be inputted in advance; a rotary cylinder control portion for controlling the rotating of a rotary cylinder in order to rotate a spool of the retractor; a stamping control portion for controlling the operating timing of a stamping portion; a memory for enabling various control operations of the PLC; a data register for storing digital data code values corresponding to a plurality of tilt angles; and a multi-axle motion controller for computing the digital data values, therefore enabling the tilt angle of the retractor to be tested with the holder structure being slanted.
