摘要： An apparatus (10) includes a member (14) that has a first slot (30) extending through the member within the periphery (32) of the member. The first slot (30) has opposed spaced surfaces (34) that define a gap (40) that has a width measured from one of the opposed surfaces to the other of the opposed surfaces. The member (14) includes first and second portions (42 and 44) positioned on opposite sides of the first slot (30). The apparatus (10) also includes a sensor (16) that has a first end (100) connected to the first portion (42) on one side of the first slot (30) and an opposite second end (102) connected to the second portion (44) on an opposite side of the first slot such that the sensor extends across the first slot. The apparatus (10) further includes a fastener (20) for fixedly connecting the second portion (44) to inhibit movement of the second portion of the member relative to the first portion (42). The first portion (42) moves relative to the second portion (44) when a force is applied to the first portion, which causes the width of the gap to change. The sensor (16) provides a signal in response to the change in the gap width.

摘要： An apparatus (10) includes an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14), a source (16) of inflation fluid, and a valve (20) in an inflation fluid flow path extending from the source (16) to the protection device (14) through the valve (20). The valve (20) is actuatable to regulate a flow of inflation fluid through the valve (20) so as to vary rates at which inflation fluid pressure increases in the protection device (14). A controller (22) has a memory location (29) storing predetermined modes of actuation for the valve (20). The predetermined modes of actuation include modes that correspond to predetermined curves (A-E) of inflation fluid pressure versus time. The controller (22) responds to one or more crash conditions by selecting one of the predetermined modes of actuation and by actuating the valve (20) in the selected mode.

摘要： An apparatus (10) for actuating a braking system of a vehicle (12) comprises a brake pedal (30) and an actuating member (36) movable to actuate the braking system. A release mechanism (40) is connected between the brake pedal (30) and the actuating member. The release mechanism (40) has a first condition connecting the actuating member (36) for movement with the brake pedal (30). The release mechanism (40) has a second condition releasing the brake pedal (30) for movement relative to the actuating member (36) under load applied to the brake pedal by the vehicle occupant. The release mechanism (40) when in the second condition resists movement of the brake pedal (30) relative to the actuating member (36). The apparatus (10) further comprises at least one sensor (14, 16) operative to sense a vehicle condition or an occupant condition and to provide a first output signal. A controller (20) receives the first output signal and in response controls the release mechanism (40) to control the resistance of the release mechanism to movement of the brake pedal (30) relative to the actuating member (36).

摘要： An inflator (12) for inflating an inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (36) includes a vessel (14) having a chamber (16) which holds fluid under pressure. An opening (20) to the chamber (16) is defined by an inner side surface (66, 76) of the vessel (14). A plug (18) is disposed in the opening (20) to the chamber (16) to block the opening. A passage (42) is formed in the plug (18) to direct fluid from the chamber (16) to the inflatable device (36). The plug (18) is welded to the inner side surface (66, 76) of the vessel (14) to retain the plug (18) in the vessel (14) and form a fluid tight seal between the plug (18) and the vessel (14). Preferably, a rim portion (84) of the vessel (14) is disposed outward of the weld and extends over a portion (104) of the plug (18) to help in retaining the plug (18) in the vessel. Also the side surface (66, 76) of the vessel (14) preferably tapers radially inward in a direction towards the chamber in the vessel. The plug (18) has a tapered outer side surface (90) which sealingly engages with the inner side surface (66, 76) of the vessel (14).

摘要： An apparatus (14) for inflating an inflatable vehicle occupant restraint (12) comprises means (22) defining an elongated combustion chamber (30) having opposed ends (24, 26). The combustion cheer (30) contains a mass (32) of gas generating material. An igniter (92) is positioned at one end of the combustion chamber (30) for igniting the mass (32) of gas generating material. The mass of gas generating material provides a substantially continuous burn path for the full length of the combustion chamber (30). The mass of gas generating material comprises at least one expansion area (124) between the combustion chamber opposed ends (24, 26), which expansion area is essentially free of gas generating material. The expansion area (124) has a free volume which is effective to attenuate pressure waves within the combustion chamber.

摘要： An apparatus for inflating a vehicle occupant restraint includes containing means for receiving gases to provide a combustible mixture of the gases. An igniter is activated to effect ignition of the mixture of gases in response to sudden vehicle deceleration. A directing means directs a flow of gas from containing means into the inflatable occupant restraint. In the preferred embodiment the gases are an inert gas, a fuel gas, and an oxidizer gas. Also, a lean mixture of a fuel gas and oxidizer gas could be used. An improved igniter transmits energy through an imperforate portion of a wall of the containing means to ignite a charge in the containing means. The igniter may include an elongate core disposed in a frangible sheath which is shattered as the core is burned.

摘要： An apparatus (10) for inflating an inflatable vehicle occupant restraint (12) includes a collision sensor (52) and an inflator assembly (20). The collision sensor (52) provides a collision signal indicating the occurrence of a vehicle collision. The inflator assembly (20) includes a first source (22) of inflation fluid which, when actuated, provides a first volume of inflation fluid. The inflator assembly (20) further includes a second source (24) of inflation fluid which, when actuated, provides a second volume of inflation fluid which differs from the first volume. A position sensor (70) provides a position signal indicating a position of an occupant of the vehicle. A controller (50) actuates the first and second sources (22, 24) of inflation fluid in any one of a plurality of differing modes of operation in response to the collision signal and the position signal.
