Patent number: 7614472Abstract: The invention relates to a system for deviating part of an external panel of a motor vehicle, during an accident to reduce the impact energy of a person colliding with deviated part of the external panel. The part is displaced in a deviation direction that is opposite to that of an impact direction of the person. The system includes a device for deviating the part. The device is engaged at least at one point on the part and permits a displacement of the part in the impact direction, if a person collides with the part.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Takata-Petri AGInventors: Ingo Kalliske, Sami Al-Samarae, Daniel Hahn, Jens Schlönvoight

Patent number: 7478873Abstract: The disclosed safety device for a motor vehicle seat may include a seat surface extending in a longitudinal direction of the seat, a securing element assigned to the seat surface; and an adjustment device operatively connected to the securing element for adjusting the securing element from a reclining position into a securing position in an event of a crash. The adjustment device is configured to reset the securing element from the securing position into the reclining position. The securing element is configured to act on the seat surface in the securing position such that the seat surface and the securing element counteract forward movement of a pelvic area of a person sitting on the seat surface in the longitudinal direction of the seat, without changing a spatial location of said seat surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Takata-Petri AGInventors: Sami Al-Samarae, Koshan Mahdi

Patent number: 7210701Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag system for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one inflatable airbag for protecting passengers. The aim of the invention is to influence, in different ways, the direction of expansion and depth of an airbag, irrespective of the cut of the airbag and irrespective of the course of the stitches of the airbag. According to the invention, at least one supplementary airbag is associated with a main airbag. Said supplementary airbag has a lower volume in order to increase the depth of deployment and/or to alter the direction of deployment of the main airbag.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2005Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Takata-Petri AGInventors: Dirk Meissner, Sami Al-Samarae

Publication number: 20050269805Abstract: The invention relates to a device for protecting a person outside a motor vehicle, especially pedestrians or cyclists, said device comprising at least one inflatable gas bag which acts outside the motor vehicle. When inflated, said gas bag (2) comprises a contact region (21) in the lower region thereof in relation to the motor vehicle (1), for the first contact with a person in the event of a collision, said contact region being located further away from the body (1) of the motor vehicle than other regions of the gas bag (2), perpendicularly in relation to the vertical axis of the motor vehicle. The gas bag (2) also comprises an impact surface (20) which is adjacent to the contact region (21) and absorbs the impact of the person (3) after the first contact. The invention thus provides an improved device for protecting people outside motor vehicles, which reduces the known disadvantages of prior art.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2003Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: Ingo Kalliske, Sami Al-Samarae, Henning Wigger

Patent number: 6402237Abstract: A vehicle seat for an automobile has a shell with a transverse slot and at least one energy absorbing support located in the slot, in the front part of the seat. The support is horizontally deformable by the pelvis of the occupant when the latter is displaced forward as a result of a sharp deceleration of the vehicle. The portion of the shell behind the support is deformable downwardly at least partially by the pelvis of the occupant when he or she is displaced forward as a result of a sharp deceleration of the vehicle. The height of the support remains substantially unchanged as a result.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Takata-Petri AGInventors: Heinz-Dieter Adomeit, Sami Al Samarae

Patent number: 6264235Abstract: The invention relates to a steering wheel having a nave, spokes, a rim and an air bag module. According to the invention, a rotationally arranged component (11) is secured to the steering wheel nave (2, 3) or to the steering column allocated thereto, which is designed to accommodate at least one further subassembly. The center of gravity of said component (11) and/or the other subassembly is positioned so eccentrically that the rotationally arranged component (11) remains in the same position when the steering wheel is rotated as when it is straightened. The advantage of the inventive steering wheel is that the subassembly connected to the rotationally arranged component, e.g. an air bag, does not change its position either when the steering wheel is rotated.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Petri AGInventors: Jens Battermann, Sami Al Samarae, Martin Kamm, Stefan Reh, Heinz-Dieter Adomeit
