Patent number: 9676360Abstract: A safety module for a motor vehicle includes at least one inflatable cushion with a first fixation interface and at least one actuating device. The at least one actuating device includes an igniter and an igniter support. The igniter has a plastic overmolding forming a second fixation interface. The igniter support has a third fixation interface designed to receive and fix the second fixation interface. The at least one actuating device retains the first fixation interface by sandwiching it between at least one part of the second fixation interface and at least one part of the third fixation interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Marcus Weber, Raimund Nebel, Johann Biberger, Martin Haas, Roland Peiz

Patent number: 9434346Abstract: An airbag module having a first nozzle (10) enclosing a first gas compartment (G1), and a first inflator. At least one adaptive ventilation device for the first gas compartment (G1) is provided with a ventilation opening (12) bordered by flexible material and at least one throttle device with a tear seam, which, in a first state, throttles the gas flow more strongly than in a second state. A second cover (44) surrounding a second gas compartment (G2) and a gas source for the second gas compartment (G2) are provided, wherein the tear seam (49) extends through the second gas compartment and, upon filling of the second gas compartment (G2) by the gas source, the seam ruptures and the adaptive ventilation device passes from the first, to the second state.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Marcus Weber, Jens Hoffmann, Raimund Nebel, Wolfgang Drössler, Roland Peiz

Patent number: 9376086Abstract: An airbag module having a first shell (10) forming a first gas chamber (GI), a first inflator for the first gas chamber (GI), an adaptive influencing device for influencing the ventilation or shape of the first gas chamber (GI), and an actuation unit (40) for the influencing device. The actuation device (40) has a second shell (44) forming a second gas chamber (G2), and a gas source. The state of the influencing device changing upon actuating the gas source. A tensioning element having a first end (62) is coupled to the adaptive influencing device or forms the device, and a second end (64) is coupled to the second shell (44) when the second gas chamber (G2) is not filled and is decoupled from the second shell (44) when the second gas chamber (G2) is filled.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Raimund Nebel, Nico Wallat, Zang Holger, Roland Peiz, Alexander Rottach, Jürgen Knauss, Andreas Förge, Wolfgang Drössler, Jens Hoffmann, Marcus Weber, Michael Burger

Patent number: 8544882Abstract: A front passenger airbag (5) is described for arrangement in the instrument panel (20) of a motor vehicle. It has an airbag envelope (10) having an impact area (11) and lateral surfaces extending from the impact area (11). In order to use small gas generators and to reduce the danger for a passenger in a non-standard seating position, the impact area (11) is nearly exclusively allocated to the front passenger's (I) head or head and shoulder area, the impact area (11) having a concave shape when the airbag envelope (10) is fully expanded and free of external forces, such that a left and right section of the impact area (11) respectively extend farther into the interior of the motor vehicle than a central section.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Alexander Gulde, Roland Peiz, Armin Kränzle, Peter Gerisch, Reinhard Böswirth, Stefan Taubert, Marc Schock, Jens Hoffmann, Anna Gawlowska, Michal Skibinski, Marcin Wiaderny, Marek Sofinski

Patent number: 7614644Abstract: A housing for acceptance of an airbag module for a motor vehicle includes at least two side walls located opposite one another formed to be capable of deformation to different extents. The side walls are more easily capable of deformation and exhibit a generally flat area section which can be deformed in the direction of the housing floor if acted upon by force, and which remain stable in shape in the case of tensile force applied in a direction generally away from the housing floor.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Sven Hoffmann, Roland Peiz, Joachim Kurth, Thomas Niedernhuber

Publication number: 20070290491Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) for acceptance of an airbag module for a motor vehicle, in which at least two side walls (2, 3) located opposite one another are formed so as to be capable of deformation to different extents. In order to fulfil the task set, this housing is characterised by the fact that the side wall which is more easily capable of deformation (3) exhibits a basically flat area section (4) which can be deformed in the direction of housing floor (5) if acted upon by force (F), and which remains stable in shape in case of pull force applied in a direction basically away from housing floor (5).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2004Publication date: December 20, 2007Inventors: Sven Hoffmann, Roland Peiz, Joachim Kurth, Thomas Niedernhuber

Patent number: 5851098Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a system for temporary storage and output of pilotless, movable vehicles in a parking garage as well as for transferring the pilotless vehicles froma transport platform 3 to a parking place and vice versa, including a means for lifting the vehicles, for moving them in the lifted position and for putting them down in another position. Carrier arms 13, 14, 15, 16 perpendicularly extending until into the area of the vehicle wheels are arranged on a longitudinal carrier 17 movable under the vehicle in longitudinal direction, at least two of the carrier arms being pivotable from a position directed in direction of the longitudinal carrier into the rectangularly extended position in which they under pressure bear on the lower area of the vehicle wheel and lift it from the standing place.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1997Date of Patent: December 22, 1998Assignee: Maurer Sohne GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gunter Buckenauer, Roland Peiz, Hans Beutler
