GAS GENERATOR
A gas generator includes a cup where a gas generating agent is accommodated and a holder. The holder includes a first recessed portion and an annular groove provided in an end surface on a side facing the cup, a second recessed portion provided in an end surface on an opposite side, and a partition between the first and second recessed portions. A bottom surface of the first recessed portion includes a first and second bottom surface located on a side of the second recessed portion. The gas generator satisfies A<B<C, where A represents a distance from the second bottom surface to a bottom surface of the second recessed portion, B represents a distance from the first bottom surface to the bottom surface of the second recessed portion, and C represents a distance from the bottom surface of the second recessed portion to the annular groove.
CHILD SEAT INTEGRAL HARNESS BELT TENSIONING AND LOAD LIMITATION
An integral harness belt tensioning and load limitation system for a child seat is provided. The integral harness belt tensioning system includes a belt tensioner and a belt force load limiter that is in the load path of the integral harness. The harness belt tensioning mechanism is activated by a drive module upon the child seat reaching a predetermined acceleration threshold. If acceleration limits are reached, the drive module is triggered, an energy charge is released, and the harness belt is tightened via a rotary or linear tensioning mechanism. The load limitation system limits the amount of tension applied to the harness belt.
