Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle-sensitive sensor for a self-locking belt retractor, comprising: a support part, a sensor mass which is disposed vertically on a contact surface of the support part and can tilt relative to the support part and a locking lever which is coupled to the sensor mass and has an engagement tip, wherein the locking lever has at least two rotation elements for forming an axis of rotation for the locking lever, and wherein each rotation element rests on an associated contact point of the support part.

Abstract: A stable fingernail ring which is a ring designed to be worn immediately behind the first knuckle of any finger, and comprising a circular supporting section designed to be worn around the finger between the first and second knuckle and preferably immediately behind the first knuckle, a decorative section on the upper portion of the ring and supported by the circular supporting section and which extends over the fingernail of the finger on which the ring is worn, and a stabilizing section on the bottom of the ring which is designed to assure that the ring will be stabilized on the wearer's hand.

Abstract: An aircraft ejection seat position and restraint system for protecting an rcrewman against back injuries during emergency escape. The ejection sequence is initiated by the aircrewman pulling a lower ejection handle or a face curtain handle with both hands to release or shatter the cockpit canopy. A torso harness suit is concommittantly tightened with inflation of a vest worn between the aircrewman and the suit, and catapult rockets are fired to propel the seat out of the cockpit. The harness suit draws the aircrewman's upper torso against the back of the seat while the inflated vest pushes his hips back and down into the seat pan for optimally positioning his spine before ejection thereby negating the effects of an aircrewman purposely or inadvertently flying with a loose harness. After ejection, the seat is separated from the aircrewman but the vest remains inflated inside the harness providing cushioning against the opening shock force of the parachute which is attached to the harness suit.

Abstract: An ejection seat-mounted system for temporary secure attachment of the li of an aviator or other user to the seat during ejection, preventing limb flail and consequent injury. Initially, two rigid arm restraints are pivotably mounted to the sides of the seat in a nonobstructive raised position, and two rigid leg restraints are mounted at the sides of the seat in a substantially nonobstructive extended position to help keep the aviator's legs in place. After the aviator pulls a D-ring initiating ejection, a first gas generator is fired, causing pivoting of the two seat-mounted arm restraints through 135.degree., and retraction and rotation of the two seat-mounted leg restraints, each of which captures one of the aviator's limbs, draws it to the seat, and holds it in place on or with respect to the seat.
