Patent number: 8594894Abstract: A method for protecting a vehicle occupant in a vehicle seat of a vehicle is provided. At least one protection element mounted on the vehicle seat and capable of being triggered to protect the vehicle occupant sitting on the vehicle seat is triggered when a collision is imminent or occurs.

Patent number: 8491040Abstract: A passenger car with a transverse element that is associated with a vehicle seat and that has a non-deformable center region and deformable outer regions, is supported on respective ends thereof on associated body regions in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The transverse element is supported on respective ends thereof on associated side skirts. The vehicle seat is arranged in a vehicle center and is movable along with the center region following a crash-induced length reduction of an outer region facing a side impact force which causes a length reduction of the outer region facing away from the side impact force.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Daimler AGInventor: Karl-Heinz Baumann

Patent number: 8403362Abstract: A restraint system having support elements can be transferred from a storage position to a restraint position. Flexible casing elements are disposed between the support elements and have air flow openings, such that the support elements having the flexible casing elements enclose a restraint volume in the restraint position. A resistance element is disposed at each of the air flow openings in order to impede or prevent the escape of air from the restraint volume compared to the inflow at the respective air flow opening. Such resistance elements may be formed by a second layer, displaced fabric threads, flexible fabric web sections and other elements such that a check valve function is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Karl-Heinz Baumann, Andreas Hirth, Lutz Quarg, Friedrich Reiter, Clark Ruedebusch

Patent number: 8356687Abstract: A vehicle has a crash detection device for detecting a crash that introduces a force acting in an effective direction into the vehicle. An acceleration device directly or indirectly cooperates with the crash detection device to absolutely accelerate at least one partial mass of the vehicle against the effective direction in which the force is introduced in case of a crash.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2008Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Karl-Heinz Baumann, Till Heinrich, Clark Ruedebusch

Patent number: 8356685Abstract: In an arrangement for strengthening the road grip for a vehicle, particularly for a passenger car, air can be sucked from a vacuum chamber arranged under the vehicle and closed off with respect to the ambient atmosphere. As a result, a vacuum can be generated in a vacuum chamber arranged in a braking plate, and the latter can be changed from an inoperative position away from the ground into a operative position close to the ground, as a result of the generated vacuum.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Daimler AGInventor: Karl-Heinz Baumann
-
Patent number: 8301336Abstract: A method and a device for warning following vehicles in a group of several sequential vehicles, including at least a leading vehicle, a middle vehicle and a following vehicle, wherein a warning is transmitted from the middle vehicle to the following vehicle. A total distance and a total relative speed between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle are calculated based on measurements made by the middle vehicle. The total distance and total relative speed are used to determine whether a critical approach of the following vehicle to the leading vehicle is occurring, and if so, an automatic warning is transmitted from the middle vehicle to the following vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Karl-Heinz Baumann, Michael Fehring, Rainer Justen

Patent number: 8146703Abstract: A method for a safety system in a vehicle continuously evaluates data relating to the surroundings from a surroundings sensor system in terms of an imminent collision with an obstacle, and autonomous emergency braking is initiated in the event of an unavoidable collision. The emergency braking is maintained until a predefined event occurs. The predefined event can be the expiration of a time calculated in advance up to the collision or the impact which is actually detected by a sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Karl-Heinz Baumann, Michael Fehring, Rainer Justen, Rodolfo Schoeneburg
