A lateral shock absorber includes a protective fender and a locking mechanism. The protective fender is pivoted to a base of a child car safety seat and pivotally switchable between a folded state or an unfolded state relative to the child car safety seat. The locking mechanism is for selectively engaging with the protective fender to restrain the protective fender from switching to the unfolded state or disengaging from the protective fender to allow the protective fender to switch to the unfolded state when the protective fender is located in the folded state. The protective fender includes a driving block, a supporting block and a combining assembly. The driving block is pivoted to the base, and the supporting block is pivoted to the driving block and engages with the driving block by the combining assembly.

Described are passenger seat assemblies having an impact bracket for a support pin. The support pin may be a component of a monitor assembly. The impact bracket includes a body that defines an aperture and a flex member within the aperture. The flex member defines a support region and a travelling region of the aperture. The flex member retains the support pin in the support region responsive to a load that is less than a minimum impact load, and releases the support pin from the support region into the travelling region responsive to a load that is at least the minimum impact load.

A mount is slid with respect to a base to build an assembly, the base including an upper surface fixed to a vehicle, a lower surface facing a direction opposite to that of the upper surface, a first lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface, and a second lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface and located opposite to the first lateral surface. The mount includes a bottom surface facing the lower surface, a first lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the first lateral surface, and a second lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the second lateral surface. A thickness of the first lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a first lower portion than in a first upper portion.

An in-module media assembly includes a display screen, a media chassis and a shock absorbing member. The display screen has an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side. The media chassis is mounted to a lower half of the display screen and extends from the non-interior facing side of the display screen. The shock absorbing member has a screen attachment part and a contact part. The screen attachment part is attached to an upper half of the display screen and extends from the non-interior facing side. The contact part is configured to at least one of contact the media chassis and displace relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis.

A vehicle sunvisor assembly includes a support structure, a sunvisor panel and an energy absorbing structure. The support structure is attached to a vehicle body structure adjacent to a first area of a windscreen. The sunvisor panel has first end and a second end. The first end is supported by the support structure and pivots about an upright axis and about an offset axis that is not parallel to the upright axis. The energy absorbing structure is installed to the vehicle body structure adjacent to a second area of the windscreen spaced apart from the first area and has a downwardly extending projection. A second attachment end of the sunvisor panel aligns with the downwardly extending projection. The energy absorbing structure is configured to absorb energy from an object moving in a forward direction contacting the sunvisor panel with the first attachment end being attached to the second attachment end.

Systems and methods are provided for improved and intuitive adjustment of a vehicle headrest. A vehicle headrest adjustment system may include touch sensors and/or motion sensors to determine a driver or passenger intends to adjust a vehicle headrest. Upon detection of touch consistent with intent to adjust a vehicle headrest and/or a hand gesture consistent with intent to adjust a vehicle headrest, a system may unlock a vehicle headrest. A driver or passenger may move the unlocked vehicle headrest into the desired position. Upon detection of a condition indicating the driver or passenger is finished and/or upon a set period of time elapsing, the system may re-lock the vehicle headrest into place. A vehicle headrest adjustment system may also include a power-assist function. The power-assist function may include motors and force sensors to assist a driver or passenger in moving a vehicle headrest into a desired position.

The present invention discloses a lateral shock absorber disposed on a base of a child car safety seat. The lateral shock absorber includes a protective fender. An end of the protective fender is pivoted to the base, so that the protective fender is pivotally switchable between a folded state and an unfolded state relative to the base. The unfolded protective fender can collide with a car body during a side impact collision for transferring a side impact to the base and away from a child sitting in the child car safety seat. Therefore, it can effectively reduce a risk of injury or death of the child due to the side impact and provide enhanced protection for the child. Furthermore, the lateral shock absorber has advantages of simple structure and easy operation. Besides, the present invention further discloses a child car safety seat with the aforementioned lateral shock absorber.
