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 seat belt pretensioner for a motor vehicle includes a cam that rotates, a cable with a first end and a second end, a section of the cable positioned on an outer portion of the cam. Upon deployment the cam rotates and guides the first end from a first location to a second location.

An anchor pretensioner module for a seat belt includes: an anchor which is disposed at a side of a seat cushion, and to which a tongue of the seat belt is fastened, a base which is provided at a lower side of the anchor, the base having a first operating part, which generates an explosive pressure, provided at a rear of the base, and a second operating part, which generates the explosive pressure, provided at a front of the base, a first wire which is connected to the base and the anchor, and allows the anchor to be moved downward when the first operating part is operated, and a second wire which is provided on the base, and moves the first wire while being inserted into the base when the second operating part is operated to allow the anchor to be moved forward while moving downward, so that a relative location of the anchor is moved when a collision occurs to restrain a passenger's body.

A seat belt pretensioner of a vehicle include: a displacement generator to generate a linear displacement in a seat frame; and a webbing guide that receives the linear displacement generated by the displacement generator and pulls a webbing. In particular, the webbing extends from a retractor fixed to the seat frame to the outside of the seat.

A seatbelt device includes a webbing; a tongue; a buckle, in buckled up the webbing, a portion of the webbing configures a lap webbing; a lower restraint member a portion thereof disposed inside a vehicle seat cushion, the lower restraint member, together with the lap webbing, forming a loop opening along a seat front-rear direction, a length direction one side of the lower restraint member being pulled so as to tighten the loop, and the lower restraint member configured to press the body of the occupant from a seat lower side; and a tensioning device actuated in a case of a front-on collision or in a case in which a front-on collision is predicted, the tensioning device pulling the length direction one side of the lower restraint member to tighten the loop, and the tensioning device pulling the lap webbing so as to move toward a seat lower front side.

A seat belt system for restraining an occupant of a vehicle. The system includes a webbing and a pretensioner. A cable connects the webbing to the pretensioner. The pretensioner includes a housing, a gas generator, and an outer cylinder connected to the housing. A gas generator provides gases into a pressure chamber in the outer cylinder to drive a piston, an inner cylinder and the cable in a pretensioning direction. A sealing ring is located between the outer cylinder and inner cylinder. The sealing ring is configured to provide a seal to prevent the gases provided by the gas generator from passing. A deflector shield is located between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder and closer to the pressure chamber than the sealing ring, wherein the deflector shield is configured to deflect the gases away from the sealing ring.

A seat belt device includes a webbing, a locking tongue, and a guide. The webbing includes a lap belt and a shoulder belt. The locking tongue is configured to undergo a change from a free state, in which the webbing is capable of passing between a side of the lap belt and a side of the shoulder belt, to a lock state, in which the webbing is not capable of passing between the side of the lap belt and the side of the shoulder belt, in accordance with a collision or a warning of the collision of a vehicle. The guide is configured to, in accordance with the collision or the warning of the collision of the vehicle, displace a location on the shoulder belt that is adjacent to the locking tongue in a direction away from the occupant before the change to the lock state is completed.
