Patent number: 8740287Abstract: Disclosed is a passenger protection device (12) for a vehicle, which protects a passenger (Mn) sitting on a seat (11) when an external force (Fs) is applied to a side surface (16a) of a vehicle body (16). The passenger protection device has a side support (14). The side support is provided on the side portion of a seat back (46), and supports the upper body (Bu) of the passenger. The side support has a deformable portion (47). The deformable portion allows the side support to be deformed by an external force having a predetermined value or more.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Onda, Nobuhiro Kawamoto, Itaru Genpei, Makoto Uchikawa, Takashi Kikuchi, Hajime Ishida

Patent number: 8226156Abstract: A reinforcing element structure placed between left and right seats. A reinforcing element comprises a pair of left and right side walls positioned so as to be disposed opposite from interior faces of a pair of left and right seats, and a reinforcing member for coupling the pair of left and right side walls. The pair of left and right side walls and the reinforcing member are jointly fastened to a tunnel section. A load that acts on the reinforcing element is transferred from one of the side walls to the other side wall via the reinforcing member. The load is withstood by a highly rigid reinforcing element constituted by the left and right side walls and the reinforcing member.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masamitsu Shiono, Kazuhiro Onda, Hitoshi Kato, Takashi Kikuchi

Patent number: 7611164Abstract: An airbag apparatus comprising an airbag that expands between a vehicle occupant and a side wall of a vehicle body. The airbag is divided into a plurality of expanding chambers that are connected by a plurality of gas flow channels. Among the expanding chambers, the cross-sectional area of the gas flow channel leading to the expanding chamber that expands first is the largest, the cross-sectional area of the gas flow channel leading to the expanding chamber that expands last is the smallest, and the expanding chambers expand in stages.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kai, Takashi Aoki, Kazuhiro Onda, Rei Sakamoto, Nobuko Hashikawa
