Patent number: 8888126Abstract: A seat cushion airbag device mountable to a vehicle seat, includes an airbag includes an inflation portion including an upper fabric portion and a lower fabric portion joined to form a bag shape. The inflation portion is inflated between a support portion and a seat cushion of the vehicle seat by an inflating fluid supplied in response to an impact applied to the vehicle from a front side, such that a seat surface of the seat portion bulges, thereby suppressing a forward movement of an object to be restrained on the seat portion. The airbag further includes a restriction member which extends in a front-rear direction of the vehicle seat within the inflation portion and which bridges the upper fabric portion and the lower fabric portion to restrict an inflated thickness of the inflation portion in the upper-lower direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akihiro Nukaya, Takanori Kanto, Hiroaki Yamada, Hitoshi Ida

Patent number: 7976058Abstract: The occupant protection system includes a catching body that is housed in a housing located between a near-by seat and a distant seat for upward deployment and a support body that supports the catching body. The catching body covers the impact side of a distant-side occupant to catch the occupant moving toward the impacted lateral and includes a distal end acting as a free end swingable in a left and right direction. The support body is located on a side of the near-by seat close to the impacted lateral for deployment to support the catching body when the catching body swings toward the impacted lateral after receiving the distant-side occupant.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeyuki Suzuki, Takaki Fukuyama, Kenji Hayakawa, Tsukasa Sugiyama, Michio Inoue, Hirokazu Matsuura, Hajime Kitte, Takeki Hayashi, Masashi Aoki, Hitoshi Ida

Patent number: 7836996Abstract: A pedestrian protection system is mounted in the front portion of a vehicle, and includes a controller, a forward movement holding mechanism controlled in actuation by the controller, and a contact body that a pedestrian can contact. The controller, when having predicted a collision of a pedestrian with the vehicle based on a signal from a collision predicting sensor, actuates the forward movement holding mechanism to cause a forward movement of the contact body, and based on a signal from a turn sensor when the forward movement holding mechanism carries out an upward rotation or a downward rotation at the time of contact of the forwardly moved contact body with a pedestrian, controls actuation of the restraint body so as to correspond to a pedestrian moving to a front upper side of the vehicle and a pedestrian moving to a front lower side of the vehicle, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hajime Kitte, Shigeyuki Suzuki, Masashi Aoki, Hitoshi Ida, Hirokazu Matsuura, Ichizo Shiga, Michio Inoue, Takaki Fukuyama, Takeki Hayashi, Tsukasa Sugiyama

Patent number: 7708307Abstract: A method for protecting an occupant seated on a seat of a vehicle in a side collision of the vehicle is disclosed. In the method, the lumbar region of the occupant is retained in a section that corresponds to the pelvis rearward of the acetabulum in the skeletal structure of the occupant by using an impact absorbing member. Specifically, the lumbar region of the occupant is retained in a section that corresponds to an ilium in the skeletal structure of the occupant. In a side collision of the vehicle, the impact absorbing member initially contacts the lumbar region in a section corresponding to the ilium.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hitoshi Ida, Michihisa Asaoka, Michio Inoue
