  • Patent number: 7513575
    Abstract: A shoulder- and/or neck-holder, seat-belt, seat and sets of vibration-dampening energy-absorbers are integrated into an energy-absorbing, vibration-dampening safety-seat in order to restrain the shoulders and/or neck of a belted passenger, dampen vibrations and gradually absorb subenergies, resulting from a subdivision of the total energy, just below the respective injury-irrelevant threshold-values in any real-world accident of a transport-system, submarining or during in-flight turbulence. The conversion of an adult-seat into a child-seat or a baby-cot or vice-versa is simple. A rotatable device makes the holder easy to use. Neck- and/or shoulder-shaped, height-, width-adjustable holders and/or neck- and/or shoulder-shaped energy absorbers, attached thereto, ensure complete restraint of the shoulders and necks of passengers with different weights and body-proportions.

  • Patent number: 7165787
    Abstract: As yet heads of belted passengers, when thrown forwards in real-world front collisions, crush into vehicle members or inflating airbags. A safety device is equipped with wires, energy-absorbing, vibration-dampening delimiters, a collapsible upper portion of steering column and a pair of independently operating piston devices. The deflection of at least one piston rod in any front or rear collision is exploited to pre-tension the seat belts up to a predetermined length of seat-belt retraction and retract that collapsible upper portion with the steering wheel out of the head-injury area. In order to prevent buckling of longitudinal runners, achieve the highest efficiency of energy-absorption and lower impact energy, to which passengers are exposed, a cone-shaped hub reams, folds and buckles the respective longitudinal runner, loosely guided by the piston rod, guided by a bearing box. The delimiters block further movement of seat-belt wire thus preventing strangulation.

  • Patent number: 7131668
    Abstract: Seat belts of a transport system are provided with anti-submarining seat-belt assemblies. A lap-belt portion of each assembly, restraining the lower part of the body of a belted passenger, is subdivided into two anti-submarining belt portions, which properly restrain the thighs when plug-in connecting at least one anti-submarining latch-plate to one of the anti-submarining buckle assemblies, all of which, equipped with energy absorbers, are arranged in a seat cushion. As a result, the energy-absorbing, anti-submarining seat-belt assembly substantially lowers great belt force in an accident, reduces the elongation of the seat belt and prevents submarining. A separately operated release button, when depressed, frees the passenger from the anti-submarining protection. Ease of use is ensured by one-click operation of a master release-button, which, when depressed, releases all latch-plates. Detachable anti-submarining latch plates, when not in use, are stored in a storage box.

  • Publication number: 20040113411
    Abstract: When a head rest of a seat of a transport system is adjusted to a head of a belted passenger, its height-adjustable shoulder-belt-portion guiding deflector, loosely guiding a shoulder belt portion of a seat-belt, adapts itself to his body proportion. As a result, the shoulder belt portion downwardly extends over his shoulder and his upper body and the shoulder-belt-portion guiding deflector prevents neck-strangulation, intercepts and holds a released main latch plate, which is easily accessed by passenger, taking seat and wanting to use the seat-belt. A space-saving shoulder-belt-portion guiding deflector can be installed in any free region of the seat backrest of an head-rest integrated seat of, for example, Volvo, Porsche or Ferrari. A height-adjustable head rest can be equipped with a single, stiff shoulder-belt-portion guiding deflector, which, movable along a member of the seat-backrest frame, guided thereby and locked therein, is nonrotating about a longitudinal axis of thereof.

  • Publication number: 20040113412
    Abstract: A multi-point seat-belt includes two shoulder-belt portions, a lap-belt portion, master release-button, multi-attachment points and a belt-feeding device, which, when activated, moves the first shoulder-belt portion to extend across over the upper of the body of the passenger, when taking his seat. In conjunction with a main latch-plate plug-in connecting to a main buckle-assembly both shoulder-belt portions extend crosswise over the upper-part thereof in an X-shape and the lap-belt portion restrains the lower-part thereof.

  • Publication number: 20040051293
    Abstract: Thanks to a chain of tamperproof evidence of the unbelted passengers, delivered by a device, car-, aeroplane manufacturers or the airlines are acquitted of compensatory damages and medical expenses. Accident data, impact-identity elements of seat belts, warning lights, fuses and time periods of multiple crashes or turbulence-related vibrations are several pieces of evidence to gather arguments for the users and the non-users of the seat belts. The device registers the number of seat-belt uses, belt protractions and blockings. In excess of the predetermined life the warning light flashes and/or requests appear on the multi-info display to replace the worn-out seat belts, belt retractors and/or locking mechanisms.

  • Publication number: 20030067188
    Abstract: When a transport system whose doors are jammed in a real-world accident, bursts into flame, passengers, trapped therein, can neither detach the doors by themselves nor be rescued by rescue workers arriving too late. To minimize the rescue time and force needed to detach doors the transport system is equipped with a door-detachment device, which is automatically or manually operated, when the transport system comes to a halt, to detach the jammed doors from its body by pulling at least one hinge pin out of the hole of hinge and/or fracturing at least one hinge member. The equations of friction and wire friction are applied to miminize the tensile forces of all wires of the door-detachment device. Thanks to low tensile force badly injured passengers can manually operate it to rescue themselves in a short time before fire engulfs the transport system. In the second feature of the invention, catch bands restrain the detached doors, which, when flying-off, endangers the life of rescue workers and non-participants.
