Abstract: A side airbag apparatus, which deploys an airbag between an occupant of a vehicle and a sidewall of said vehicle in order to protect the occupant in the event of side collision of the vehicle, includes a lower air bag unit and a control unit. The lower airbag unit has a waist airbag, which deploys toward the hip of the occupant M and pushes the hip of the occupant M in the direction opposite to the sidewall, an inflator, which generates gas for inflating the waist airbag and supplies gas to the waist airbag, and a module case, which stores the waist airbag and inflator therein. The control unit ignites the inflator in order to generate gas when an acceleration of greater than a prescribed value is detected.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus, which deploys an airbag between an occupant of a vehicle and a sidewall of the vehicle in order to protect the occupant in the event of side collision of the vehicle. This side airbag apparatus has a first airbag and a second airbag. The first airbag has a tube-like shape, and one end of the first airbag is fixed at a seat back of a seat of the vehicle and the other end of the first airbag is fixed at a seat cushion of the seat. The second airbag has a tube-like shape, and one end of the second airbag is fixed at the seat back and the other end of the second airbag is fixed at the seat cushion. In this side airbag apparatus, the position of one end of the second airbag is higher than the position of one end of the first airbag.

Abstract: An air bag device includes an air bag which is accommodated in a folded state along sides of a seat back and a seat cushion of a seat for an occupant. Upon side collision of a vehicle, the air bag is expanded by a gas generated by an inflator and deployed between an inner surface of a side of a vehicle compartment and an occupant. The air bag is disposed outside a lap belt of a seat belt device, and hence is deployed from the sides of the seat back and the seat cushion, so that a shock-absorbing effect can be effectively exhibited.

Abstract: A seat covering tensioning clip for use to bridge a trimming wire provided on a seat covering and a spring supporting a seat pad or an insert wire embedded in the seat pad to thereby tension the seat covering, comprises an annular base, and a pair of J-shaped arms extending from the annular base in a nearly same direction, and each having a straight portion and an inwardly bent portion, the bent portions facing each other; the clip being adapted to receive each of the first and second object wires from between the bent portions thereof, thereafter the first object wire being securely retained in the annular base while the second object wire is securely caught between the bent portions superposed on each other.

Abstract: To break the trim cover 2 effectively and positively for instantaneous emerging of the inflated and expanded air bag from inside the seat, less-elongation stay cloths 7 and 8 each having two parallel sides of different lengths are provided in a region over both the front side and lateral trim cover portions 2a and 2b where the air bag is to be inflated and expanded, the stay cloths extending from the seam line 2c, or break line 3, along which the trim cover 2 is to be broken when the air bag is inflated and expanded, the front side and lateral portions 2a and 2b, respectively, of the trim cover 2, and the stay cloths 7 and 8 are positioned on the inner surfaces of the front side and lateral portions 2a and 2b of the trim cover 2, respectively, with their shorter sides thereof aligned with the respective seam-line ends of the front side and lateral trim cover portions 2a and 2b and registered with each other, and sewn at the shorter sides thereof together with the ends of the front side and lateral trim cover

Abstract: To break the trim cover effectively and positively for instantaneous emerging of the inflated and expanded air bag from inside the seat, less-elongation stay cloths are provided on the inner surface of the trim cover and in a region over both the front side and lateral trim cover portions where the air bag is to be inflated and expanded, the stay cloths being sewn at one end thereof to the seam line of the trim cover and secured at the other end thereof to the seat back frame, and at least one of the stay cloths is wide enough to be sewn at one side thereof to the entire length of the seam line along which the trim cover is to be broken.

Abstract: Method for waving and straightening hair by carrying out a metallic chelate reaction in the keratin of the hair by incorporating an alkali metal or ammonium ions or an organic amine into the hair keratin protein, thereafter replacing the alkali metal or ammonium ions or organic amine by metal ions, other than alkali metal ions, said metal ions having a greater atomic weight than that of alkali metal or ammonium ions replaced, said metal ions being derived from aqueous solutions of metal salts other than alkali metals, metal chelate compounds of enzymes, proteins, peptides or amino acids and the lotions and creams as used in the aforesaid method.
