  • Publication number: 20230247275
    Abstract: A vehicular camera module includes a camera housing having a front housing portion and a rear housing portion, a lens barrel accommodating a lens, and an imager printed circuit board (PCB). The lens barrel is attached at the front housing portion and extends through an aperture of the front housing portion. With an imager aligned with the lens, the imager PCB is adhesively attached at an inner end of the lens barrel. With the lens barrel and a connector PCB attached at the front housing portion, the connector PCB is spaced from the imager printed circuit board. Circuitry of the imager PCB is electrically connected to circuitry of the connector PCB via a flexible electrical connector. The rear housing portion includes a receiving portion configured to receive the electrical connector when the front housing portion is attached at the rear housing portion during assembly of the vehicular camera module.

  • Patent number: 6532716
    Abstract: A device for introducing an gas bag into a pot-shaped receiving container with an insertion opening for insertion of the gas bag and an installation opening at the bottom for the arrangement of an inflator is provided. The device comprises a tubular housing having a cross-section adapted to the insertion opening of the receiving container, and an axially reciprocating ram arranged in the housing and serving for introducing the gas bag into the receiving container. Further, a method for folding a gas bag is provided, wherein the gas bag is introduced into a tubular housing, wherein a body is introduced into the gas bag as a dummy for an inflator intended to be mounted later, and wherein the gas bag is folded around the body.

  • Patent number: 6432033
    Abstract: A method of folding a side gas bag in a packet form having a gas bag consisting of a substantially rectangular fabric section having rounded corners, a connecting plate for connecting to a gas generator and having fastening bolts projecting through the fabric section includes the steps of folding the fabric section along a first fold edge to an approximately square shape with free edges; arranging the free edges one over the other; and connecting the free edges with each other to form the closed bag. During the folding, a free space i8s formed between two adjacent layers of the fabric sections for the insertion of a fold rule. Thereafter, the free space is widened by means of a fold rule and the remaining fabric material is then, by means of further fold rules externally engaging and inserted, folded in on both sides from a center of the free space several times in meandering from in layers parallel to the connecting plate.
