Patent number: 11590920Abstract: Seat centric airbag restraint systems having pelvis restraint features, along with related methods. In some implementations, a first seat-mounted airbag cushion may be deployed along a first side of a vehicle occupant and a second seat-mounted airbag cushion may be deployed along a second side of the vehicle occupant. A first pelvis restraint chamber may be deployed below the first seat-mounted airbag cushion at an angle relative to the first seat-mounted airbag cushion and towards a first upper thigh of the vehicle occupant. The first pelvis restraint chamber may inhibit forward translation of the vehicle occupant within a vehicle seat by tensioning the pelvis region of the occupant.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Autoliv ASP, Inc.Inventors: David W. Schneider, Harry Park

Patent number: 9845067Abstract: An inflatable airbag system can be configured to be mounted to a frontal region of a vehicle. The inflatable airbag system includes an airbag base cushion and one or more pluralities of cushion portions. In response to a collision event, the base cushion and pluralities of cushion portions may transition from a compact state to a deployed and expanded state. The airbag may receive the head of a vehicle occupant. One or more inner cushion portions may deflate as they receive the head of the vehicle occupant. An outer plurality of cushion portions may be configured to maintain a fully expanded state as they receive the head of the vehicle occupant.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Autoliv ASP, Inc.Inventors: Christina Morris, Don Paxton, Michael Kutchey, Harry Park, Dion Kruse

Patent number: 5160068Abstract: Automatic dispensing apparatus for accurately dispensing preselected amounts of material. The apparatus includes a paddle wheel assembly having multiple compartments for holding selected amounts of material to be dispensed. The apparatus further includes an agitator assembly to break down the material, and a flexible skimmer element for removing excess material from the compartments before dispensing to ensure precise measurements. The paddle wheel assembly and the agitator assembly are driven by a linear actuator. A shutter shields the dispensing mechanism and the material from external elements. The shutter is automatically activated to open and tightly close in sequence with the dispensing cycle. The apparatus further includes a programmable microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the dispensing cycle.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1989Date of Patent: November 3, 1992Assignee: Aedi, Inc.Inventors: Udi Fishman, Harry Park

Patent number: 4973329Abstract: An assembly of a wire inserter and lock is provided. The assembly includes a body portion with a bore inlet and outlet aligned with a locking area and an elongate outlet to align the wire as it passes therethrough.A spring loaded locking button is mounted within the body and defines two tear-shaped bores through which the wire passes. In the locked position, the wire is wedged into the narrow ends of the tear-shaped bores, and this provides sufficient force to lock the wire without damage.The body portion may include notched areas around which the wire can be wound, and a hole for capturing the end of the wire to facilitate storage of the wire.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1989Date of Patent: November 27, 1990Assignee: Medical Innovations CorporationInventors: Harry Park, Udi Fishman
