| 20080308338 | Pedestrian protection air bag system - There is provided a pedestrian protection air bag system M | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090084620 | Actuator - An actuator AE | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090102167 | Airbage apparatus for pedestrian protection - An airbag apparatus for pedestrian protection includes an airbag that emerges from an opening of a housing located below a front end of a hood panel and deploys upward and toward left and right. The airbag includes a protection portion that deploys along a foreface of a vehicle. The protection portion includes end regions for covering front faces of head lamps and the end regions are configured in a upward-bending manner from a central region. Contraction of the airbag at inflation is taken into account in order to configure a bending angle between each of the end regions and the central region as the airbag is flattened. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090145681 | Actuator - The invention provides an actuator A configured as an actuator in which a piston | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090242308 | Pedestrian protection system - A pedestrian protection system is mounted in the front portion of a vehicle, and includes a controller, a forward movement holding mechanism controlled in actuation by the controller, and a contact body that a pedestrian can contact. The controller, when having predicted a collision of a pedestrian with the vehicle based on a signal from a collision predicting sensor, actuates the forward movement holding mechanism to cause a forward movement of the contact body, and based on a signal from a turn sensor when the forward movement holding mechanism carries out an upward rotation or a downward rotation at the time of contact of the forwardly moved contact body with a pedestrian, controls actuation of the restraint body so as to correspond to a pedestrian moving to a front upper side of the vehicle and a pedestrian moving to a front lower side of the vehicle, respectively. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090243268 | Occupant protection system - The occupant protection system includes a catching body that is housed in a housing located between a near-by seat and a distant seat for upward deployment and a support body that supports the catching body. The catching body covers the impact side of a distant-side occupant to catch the occupant moving toward the impacted lateral and includes a distal end acting as a free end swingable in a left and right direction. The support body is located on a side of the near-by seat close to the impacted lateral for deployment to support the catching body when the catching body swings toward the impacted lateral after receiving the distant-side occupant. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090266638 | Actuator - When activated, an actuator causes a piston rod in a cylinder to move forwards so as to support a receiving member for receiving an object to be protected. A lock mechanism for restricting a backward movement of the piston rod includes a lock ring which is accommodated in an accommodating groove on a piston portion and a locking stepped portion on the cylinder side. The locking stepped portion includes a locking and restricting surface and an outer circumferential restricting surface. A taper restricting surface in the accommodating groove on the piston portion is brought into abutment with an inner surface on a forward moving side of the lock ring which is being diametrically expanded as a result of the piston rod having moved forwards and is in abutment with the locking and restricting surface and the outer circumferential restricting surface of the locking stepped portion, whereby the backward movement of the piston rod is restricted by making use of the lock ring which is restricted in the locking stepped portion. | 10-29-2009 |
