  • Arrangement for occupant protection in vehicles
    Patent number: 6520568
    Abstract: Method and device for protecting a person (2) traveling in a vehicle (1) by applying a protective arrangement the inside of the roof (4) of the vehicle (1). The inside of the roof (4) is equipped with an inner roof structure (5) in a place where the head (3) of the person (2) traveling in the vehicle is expected to make an impact in the event of an accident. The inner roof structure (5) is designed to guide the head (3) so that a flexion of the neck (6) of the person (2) traveling in the vehicle is initiated essentially simultaneously with the impact between the head (3) and the inside of the roof (4) during the accident. The device gives an improved protection of a person traveling in a vehicle (1), especially against head and neck injuries that occur when a person's head hits the inside of the roof (4) of the vehicle (1).
