  • Patent number: 11548472
    Abstract: A seat belt assembly unit includes a seat belt retractor, seat back, seat back frame, a rear wall interconnecting the side walls of a vehicle, a tubular member extending along the length of the rear wall and a belt guide disposed adjacent to the seat back and rigidly attached to the tubular member. The seat belt guide is a rod-shaped member formed substantially into a U-shape with its side portions inserted into holes on the tubular member. A shoulder belt extending from the retractor and passing through the seat belt guide, restrains occupants to the seat. The pulling force of the shoulder belt which restrains the occupant in the seat is transferred to the tubular member via the belt guide.

  • Patent number: 10843736
    Abstract: A reinforcement member for a side sill of a vehicle is provided. The reinforcement member comprises an elongated hollow body having a closed cross section. The elongated hollow body includes a first coordinating wall and an access wall adjacent to the first coordinating wall. The access wall includes plurality of weld access openings along a longitudinal direction. The first coordinating wall is spot welded to a first mating surface of the side sill via plurality of weld access openings. The elongated hollow body is manufactured from ultra high strength martensitic steel by roll forming process.

  • Publication number: 20090137869
    Abstract: A device which includes an elongate body with a movable mass arranged for sliding movement within the body is disclosed. The element is arranged to decelerate toward an end of the body in order to impart forward movement thereto, via momentum transfer, and is further arranged to accelerate away from said end in order to further drive the body forward, again using momentum transfer.
