A vehicle seat that includes: a seat cushion that is configured to be raised and lowered in a seat vertical direction; a buckle that is attachable to an attachment location that is not subject to the raising or lowering of the seat cushion, and that retains a tongue provided at an elongated belt shaped webbing, in a state in which in the webbing is worn over at least a pelvis area of the occupant; and a lifting device that is actuated, in a case in which a collision of a vehicle has been detected, so as to move the occupant, in a case in which the occupant is sitting on the seat cushion, toward an upper side of the seat at a location further toward a rear side of the seat than a central portion of the seat cushion in a front-rear direction of the seat.

A seatbelt buckle assembly is configured for attachment to a vehicle seat frame in a manner that permits a strap of the assembly to pass through narrow openings or gaps of the seat frame before a fastener is used for the attachment. A collar having a flange and a sleeve can be used to retain other buckle assembly components to the strap without the aid of the fastener. The assembly is particularly useful with fold-flat seats where the seatbelt buckle must fold together with the seat back and then be returned to a use position when the seat is unfolded.

A lateral shock absorber is provided and 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 relative to the base. The locking mechanism is for selectively engaging with the protective fender to restrain the protective fender from switching to an 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 a folded state. The locking mechanism includes a locking assembly and an abutting block. The locking assembly is driven to a locking state for engaging with the protective fender when the abutting block is pressed downwardly. The locking assembly is driven to a releasing state for disengaging from the protective fender when the abutting block is not pressed. Besides, a related child car safety seat is also provided.

A buckle assembly includes a first buckle, a second buckle, an operating portion, a locking component and a resilient portion. The first buckle includes an inserting end whereon an engaging portion is formed. An installation slot is formed on the second buckle for receiving the inserting end. The operating portion is disposed on the second buckle, and the locking component is fixedly connected to the operating portion. The locking component can be locked with or released from the engaging portion. The resilient portion is biased to separate the inserting end from the installation slot. The operating portion is operated to drive the locking component to release from the engaging portion. The inserting end can be separated from the installation slot by the resilient portion, so as to unlock the first buckle and the second buckle. The buckle assembly has advantages of easy operation and simplified structure.

A system (100) and method (900) for assessing for protecting the occupant (70) of a vehicle (50) during a rear crash (62). The system (100) can use a wide variety of assemblies, subassembly, and component configurations to protect the occupant (70) from undesirable kinematics (91). Such a system (100) can among other components include an anti-ramping guide (272) and/or a rear pretensioner (305).

A buckle device capable of displaying a locked state includes a main body unit, a latch unit, a fastening unit, an electromagnetic unit, and a control unit. The main body unit includes a main body and the latch unit includes a detachable tongue element. The fastening unit includes a bolt body interfering with the tongue element. The electromagnetic unit includes an electromagnetic module and an electromagnetic rod. The electromagnetic module controls the electromagnetic rod to interfere with the bolt body. The control unit includes a control module, a display module and a magnetic rod detection module for detecting the position of the electromagnetic rod. The control unit receives detection information of the magnetic bolt detection module and controls the display module to display a current state according to the position of the at least one electromagnetic rod.

A seat belt fastened/unfastened state detection switch includes: a printed substrate that includes a circuit for detecting a fastened/unfastened state of a seat belt; a rotor that is rotatably attached to the printed substrate, includes a contact portion, the contact portion coming into contact with a tongue of the seat belt, and rotates in a forward direction in accordance with pushing of the tongue into a buckle; a spring that makes the rotor, the rotor being in a rotated state in the forward direction, rotate in a reverse direction in accordance with pulling of the tongue from the buckle; and an electric brush that is attached to a surface of the rotor, the surface facing the printed substrate, and includes a leg portion whose contact/non-contact state with respect to a conductive part of the circuit changes depending on a rotation state of the rotor.

A harness system is provided and includes an upper buckle, an upper strap and a restraining assembly. The upper strap includes shoulder portion and a waist portion divided by the upper buckle. A through slot is formed on the upper buckle. The restraining assembly includes an anti-sliding structure, a beam structure disposed on the upper buckle and a stopping component. The through slot includes a first portion and a second portion divided by the beam structure and respectively adjacent to the shoulder portion and the waist portion. The upper strap passes through the first portion of the through slot from bottom to top and passes through the second portion of the through slot from top to bottom. The stopping component is detachably disposed on the shoulder portion and configured to abut against the upper buckle for restraining a sliding movement of the upper buckle relative to the upper strap.

A system includes a seatbelt buckle. The system includes a latch plate releasably engageable with the seatbelt buckle. The system includes an actuator operatively coupled to buckle to trigger disengagement of the latch plate from the seatbelt buckle. The system includes a computer having a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to detect an impact to a vehicle. The instructions include instructions to, in response to detecting the impact, command the actuator to trigger disengagement of the latch plate from the seatbelt buckle. The instructions include instructions to, after triggering disengagement of the latch plate, detect disengagement of the latch plate from the seatbelt buckle. The instructions include instructions to, in response to detecting disengagement of the latch plate from the seatbelt buckle, actuate an audio device to produce a sound.

In order to suppress a claustrophobic feeling that a person sitting on a rear seat receives due to a front seat, and to make the front seat easy to use as an ottoman by the person, a movement adjustment system is used for a passenger seat and a rear seat, and includes a slide rail for moving the rear seat in the front to back direction, and a control part for changing the movement region of the rear seat by the slide rail. The passenger seat has a seat cushion, and a seat back mounted to be changeable between an upright state and a lowered state with respect to the seat cushion. The control part changes the movement region so that the passenger seat and the rear seat can come closer when the seat back of the passenger seat is in the lowered state than in the upright state.
