Abstract: A vehicle safety system includes a vehicle seat and a child restraint system integrated with the vehicle seat. The child restraint system includes an illuminated status indicator system. The child restraint system includes an occupant detection system. The child restraint system includes one or more position sensors configured to determine seat bottom position. The child restraint includes a harness system. The harness system is stored behind a door panel in a seat back of the vehicle seat. The harness system includes one or more load sensors. The load sensors work in combination with a motor to automatically adjust harness fit. The child restraint system is configured to automatically deploy. The child restraint system is configured to automatically stow. The vehicle safety system includes an input/output (I/O) device configured to facilitate interactions with the child restraint system.

Abstract: A cot includes a patient platform that supports a frame, a patient support assembly, and a pad. The cot further includes a lift system that is coupled to a transport system that includes a cot retainer. The patient support assembly includes a headrest, backrest, seat, and leg rest. In some forms, a child restraint assembly is incorporated into the various parts of the patient support assembly to allow safe transport of children in an ambulance. The child restraint assembly is adjustable to accommodate the size of the child being transported. In other forms, the child restraint assembly is incorporated into the pad. The various embodiments envision a child restraint assembly that is easily accessible to emergency medical professionals.

Abstract: A blast mitigation seat for a land vehicle may include an occupant seat, at least one retraction device mounted to the seat, a first set of webs connected between the seat and a ceiling and/or a wall of the land vehicle, a second set of webs connected between the at least one retraction device and the ceiling and/or the wall of the land vehicle, and a third set of webs connected between the seat and the vehicle floor. The seat is suspended in the land vehicle by the first and third sets of webs. The first set of webs absorbs energy resulting from detonation of an explosive device beneath the floor of the land vehicle that forces the land vehicle from the ground into the air, and the second set of webs absorbs energy resulting from subsequent impact of the land vehicle with the ground.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for preventing actuation of a seat position adjustment device coupled to a vehicle seat that is adjustably mounted to a vehicle seat frame. The apparatus may comprise a stop member mounted to the seat position adjustment device, and at least one biasing member configured to normally bias the stop member into engagement with the vehicle seat to prevent actuation of the seat position adjustment device.

Abstract: A sleeper bunk restraining system includes a sleeper bunk configured to be carried by a vehicle and having a top surfaced defining a length upon which an occupant may rest. The bunk includes a stationary portion and a moveable portion defined along the length, and the moveable portion is movable toward the stationary portion to form an occupant restraining barrier. A restraining member may be included and is configured for releasable connection to the vehicle such that the restraining member restrains movement of the movable portion of the bunk relative to the stationary portion of the bunk to thereby maintain the occupant restraining barrier in an occupant restraining position.

Abstract: A restraint system for moving a vehicle seat and occupant toward the vehicle floor. Fluid cylinders or rotary spoolers are mounted to the seat and have respectively a pair of extendable piston rods or rotary outputs connected via rods or flexible members to a cable slidably mounted to the seat with one cable end connected to the buckle of a three point belt assembly mounted to the seat and an opposite end connected to one end of the lap portion of the belt assembly. Activation causes the cable to be pulled tensioning the belt assembly and application of downward pressure to the seat.

Abstract: A D-loop web belt gripper to releasably grip a web belt is disclosed. The D-loop web belt gripper includes a frame, a web belt gripping component, and a web belt actuating component. The web belt gripping component is a wedge having a plurality of web belt gripping teeth spatially biased away from a base member of the frame. The web belt actuating components is a bail having a lever arm, a pair of guide walls pivotally adjoined to a pair of guide walls of the frame, and a pair of drivers abutting the wedge. A first portion of a web belt is disposable between the web belt gripping teeth and the base member of the frame, and a second portion of the web belt is arcuately disposable upon the lever arm to form an arcuation in the second portion of the web belt. A forcible unbending of the arcuation in the second portion of the web belt can pivot the bail via the lever arm causing the drivers of the bail to displace the web belt gripping teeth of the wedge in the direction of the base member of the frame.
