Patent number: 7331609Abstract: A lock releasing button is provided at a slide plate including a slip joint for slidably supporting a webbing for restraining an occupant to a seat. Locking of the slide plate to a center pillar is arranged to be released when the lock releasing button is pressed upward from below. Therefore, when an airbag presses to open a connecting portion between a roof lining and a pillar garnish and deploys downward at a time of collision of a vehicle, the lock releasing button is prevented from releasing the locking by being pressed by the airbag deploying downward. This prevents the situation in which the slip joint is moved downward together with the slide plate to loosen the webbing and thus a seat belt device cannot sufficiently exhibit an occupant restraining performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Uno, Koji Ikeda, Hideki Kajiwara, Mitsuhiro Nishizaka, Nobumoto Sekiguchi

Patent number: 7198299Abstract: In a structure of a pillar garnish for an automobile, a leg is provided to protrude toward a webbing from a lower edge of a step formed at a lower end of one of an upper pillar garnish and a lower pillar garnish which are formed by dividing a pillar garnish section, and webbing guide is provided at a tip end of the leg. Therefore, even if a sink mark is created on a surface of the step of the upper pillar garnish corresponding to the position of the leg, the sink mark is covered with an upper end of the lower pillar garnish and thus invisible from the side of a vehicle compartment, so that it is possible to prevent the degradation of the appearance due to the creation of the sink mark. Moreover, a back of the lower pillar garnish is superposed on a surface of the step formed on the upper pillar garnish. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of a difference in level at a joint between both of the pillar garnishes to enhance the appearance.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Kajiwara, Junji Sugimoto, Takamitsu Kasai, Nobumoto Sekiguchi
