The disclosure of the present invention relates to a safety automobile having a releasable passenger pod connected to the vehicle chassis with a counter-impact retention system that is configured to reduce perceived impact and to move the passenger pod away from the impact zone of a crash.

A high-performance sports car having: a frame that supports a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels; a passenger compartment that is formed on the inside of the frame and is arranged between the front wheels and the rear wheels; at least one door, which is hinged to the frame to allow access to the passenger compartment; at least one seat, which is arranged inside the passenger compartment to the side of the door; and a rigid protection panel which is integral with the door and, when the door is closed, is arranged alongside the seat in line with the head of the occupant of the seat.

A molded foam member manufacturing method including: a first process of placing a foam molded first portion (11) (first molded body) and a rigid member (3) (rigid plate) in a second portion forming mold (20) (forming mold); and a second process of pouring a second portion-forming synthetic resin raw material (U) (foamable material) into the second portion forming mold (20) (forming mold) and foam molding a second portion (12) (second molded body) so as to surround a portion of the rigid member (3) (rigid plate) and form an integral unit with the first portion (11) (first molded body).

A vehicle safety seat for protecting a vehicle occupant from injury due to impact and airborne debris, in the event of a collision. The vehicle safety seat includes a seat bottom, a backrest, and a headrest, wherein the seat is secured to a frame. The frame is pivotally secured to the floor and frame of a vehicle, wherein the seat can recline immediately in advance of a collision for absorbing impact forces. The safety seat further includes telescoping shields that are retractably secured to the lateral sides of the seat bottom, backrest, and headrest. The shields are projected from the safety seat, creating a protective cocoon around the seat occupant prior to a collision. The seat is operably connected to one or more sensors that can detect an imminent collision between the vehicle and another object, wherein a pneumatic system deploys the shields and an electro-mechanical system reclines the seat.

An impact absorbing structure absorbs an impact applied from outside or inside of a vehicle near a seat belt anchor bolt that protrudes from the vehicle body panel toward the inside of the vehicle. The impact absorbing structure includes a cylinder body that accommodates a head part of the seat belt anchor bolt; an impact absorbing box arranged adjacently to the cylinder body, the impact absorbing box including a top plate facing the vehicle body panel; a base that supports the impact absorbing box; an attaching unit that attaches the base to a back face of the vehicle interior component; a stepped portion arranged on a side face of the impact absorbing box as a base point of crush deformation of the impact absorbing box; and a rib arranged between the impact absorbing box and the cylinder body to prevent escape of the impact absorbing box due to tilting thereof.

An assembly includes a seatback defining an occupant-seating area. The seatback has a frame and a rear trim cover. The frame is between the occupant-seating area and the rear trim cover. The assembly includes a seat bottom extending from the seatback below the occupant-seating area. The assembly includes a deformable cell between the frame and the rear trim cover. The deformable cell extends from a first end proximate the frame to a second end proximate the rear trim cover. The deformable cell has a contraction between the first end and the second end.

The present disclosure relates to an interior material for a vehicle and a method for molding the interior material for the vehicle, and more specifically the method for molding an interior material for a vehicle according to the present disclosure includes heating a skin inserted into an upper end heater and a lower end heater spaced apart from each other; preforming the heated skin using an upper mold having a mold temperature set to have a set shape and a lower mold having a second mold temperature; and pressing the preformed skin and a core using a 1-1 mold and a 1-2 mold having set mold temperatures.
