Abstract: This invention relates to a construction machine in which an operator can easily confirm that DEF level in a DEF tank has exceeded a predetermined level, when supplying DEF. With reference to FIG. 1, the construction machine comprises a DEF tank for storing DEF, a DEF level sensor for detecting DEF level in the DEF tank, warning means which warns to the operator and a controller which is connected to the DEF level sensor and the warning means. When DEF in the DEF tank exceeds a predetermined level which is detected by the DEF level sensor, the controller actuates the warning means. The warning means comprises at least one light e.g. a boom light or/and a horn.

Abstract: An inflatable belt for use in a seat belt apparatus. The belt provides an increased inflation length without having to pass an inflatable bag through a belt guide. A seat belt apparatus may include the air belt which may include a webbing of which at least a part that comes into contact with an occupant is formed as a bag-like portion and the remaining part is formed as a single-band portion. The apparatus has a bag stored in the bag-like portion of the webbing in such a manner that the bag is folded along both the longitudinal direction thereof and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof. The air belt includes cover that covers the webbing. When a gas is injected into the bag the bag inflates to expand the webbing and to provide EA effect and occupant protection.

Abstract: To provide a passenger protecting device protecting a passenger by controlling an inflating amount of an airbag and that of an air belt. A protocol is used that varies the amount of inflation of both the airbag and the air-belt. Each may remain non-inflated, inflated at least partially, or inflated fully depending on other factors. One factor may be the detected impact scale of the crash. Another factor may be the detected weight of a passenger. Inflation of the airbag and/or the air-belt may be done in a stepwise manner or in a continuous manner.
