  • Patent number: 9139160
    Abstract: Provided is an active seat belt apparatus, including: a motor which is driven to fasten or unfasten an active seat belt; a motor driving unit which includes the motor and drives the motor; a current measuring unit which measures a value of a current of the motor driving unit in order to determine whether to perform or stop a belt parking function when the active seat belt is unfastened; and a control unit which sends a signal for performing the belt parking function to the motor when the value of the current measured by the current measuring unit is smaller than a limit current value and sends a signal for stopping the belt parking function to the motor when the value of the current measured by the current measuring unit is larger than the limit current value.

  • Patent number: 8136619
    Abstract: A passenger distinguishing apparatus is provided. The passenger distinguishing apparatus includes: a plurality of lower brackets that are fixed to a floor of a vehicle room; upper brackets that assist mounting of a passenger seat disposed at an upper part of the lower brackets; and a plurality of sensors that are disposed between the lower brackets and the upper brackets to detect a weight of a passenger seated in the passenger seat, wherein in an upper end part and a lower end part of the sensors, male screw threads for bolt-fastening to fastening holes formed at each of the lower bracket and the upper bracket are formed, and in at least one of the upper end part and the lower end part of the sensors, dampers for absorbing assembling tolerance of the sensors while being fixed due to a contact with nuts tightened and fixed to a portion in which the male screw threads are formed, are formed. Therefore, an assembling process can be improved, a cost can be reduced, and durability of the sensor can be improved.
