Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a three-chambered airbag and associated system. The three-chambered airbag may comprise pressure differentials between the different chambers.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat back having a frame and a cover, an impact absorbing device, and an actuator in communication with the impact absorbing device. The impact absorbing device is movable from a stowed position to a deployed position. The impact absorbing device includes a base connected to the frame, a panel adjacent to the cover in the stowed position and spaced from the cover in the deployed position, and an intermediate portion connected to the base and the panel. The intermediate portion defines a chamber between the base and the panel. The intermediate portion has a portion thickness and the panel has a panel thickness greater than the portion thickness.

Abstract: A side curtain airbag that has a rear chamber, a front chamber and a secondary chamber affixed to said front chamber. The side curtain air bag has tear stitching and permanent stitching connecting the secondary chamber to an inboard panel of the air curtain such that, in a deployed state, the secondary chamber occupies a gap between a driver airbag and the curtain airbag.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a lower mounting bracket and an upper mounting bracket. The upper mounting bracket is mounted between the lower mounting bracket and an instrument panel of the motor vehicle. A steering column is mounted to the lower mounting bracket. A brake pedal having a brake pedal shaft is coupled to the lower mounting bracket. A clutch pedal having a clutch pedal shaft is coupled to the lower mounting bracket.

Abstract: An energy absorbing occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle includes a load-limiting buckle assembly. The buckle assembly includes a first elongated member adapted to be secured to the floor of the motor vehicle and a second elongated member. The buckle assembly further includes a buckle attached to the first elongated member. The buckle is adapted to releasably engage a tongue assembly carried by a seat belt webbing. A connector member interconnects the first and second elongated members. The second elongated member is configured so as to incrementally allow the second elongated member to translate relative to the first elongated member when the first elongated member is acted upon by a load which exceeds a predetermined level. In the preferred embodiment, the second elongated member is a sleeve member which telescopically receives the first elongated member.
