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.

A restraint system includes a seat defining a cross-seat axis. The seat includes a seat bottom and a seatback supported by the seat bottom. An airbag is mounted to the seat bottom and is inflatable upwardly from the seat bottom to an inflated position. The airbag, in the inflated position, includes a panel spaced from the seatback and two extensions each extending from the panel to the seatback. The extensions are spaced from each other along the cross-seat axis.

A computing device is provided to monitor or ascertain various characteristics of one or more of a wheeled mobility device securement system, a wheeled mobility device, and an occupant of the wheeled mobility device. The computing device can send any and all data available to it, including but not limited to time, dynamic information concerning the vehicle, the wheeled mobility device securement system, the wheeled mobility device, and the occupant, the actions taken by the computing device during an adverse driving condition, and when those actions were taken, to memory for use after the adverse driving event for analysis purposes to understand and recreate the event.

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 method and an apparatus/assembly provides enhanced protection to a baby in a child safety car seat. A bullet-proof child seat apparatus (BCSA) having a central segment that includes a seat portion and a backrest portion with a shapeable and adjustable headrest is constructed using bullet-proof covering that includes a protective blanket. Adjacent to the central segment are shapeable first and second side segments, each having a collar portion at an upper end and a side panel portion extending downward and away from the collar portion. The BCSA protects a baby fastened in place within the central segment by an enclosing bullet-proof blanket moldable around a baby’s face, an outer bullet-proof material and/or a structure/chassis having a bullet-proof composition. The covering and structure provides complete protection from side to side while side segments can be pulled inward to provide added protection from a frontal direction and particularly to the head and face of a baby whose body is protected in the front by firmly extended flaps of the blanket. The BCSA also includes an infant risk tracking and reporting (IRTR) module that provides further protection by using sensors to track and report a baby’s presence and surrounding environment.

A lateral shock absorber includes a protective fender pivoted to a base of a child car safety seat and a locking mechanism disposed on the base. The protective fender is pivotally switchable between a folded state or an unfolded state. 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 locking mechanism includes a locking assembly, an abutting component and an abutting block connected to the abutting component. The locking assembly engages with the protective fender to restrain the protective fender from moving, and the abutting component is driven by the abutting block to disengage the locking assembly from the protective fender when the abutting block is pressed downwardly.

A door service hole cover includes a cover component that is configured to cover a service hole, and a shock absorption component that is integral to the cover component. The shock absorption component includes a cabin inner component, at least a portion of which projects from the cover component toward the inside of the cabin and which is hollow and open toward the outside of the cabin; and a fragile portion formed on a side surface of the cabin inner component and configured to allow the cabin inner component to crush and deform upon application of a force acting in the direction of projection of the cabin inner component. Upon application of a force acting in the direction of projection, the cabin inner component crushes inwardly and deforms while being twisted.

A vehicle and a method of controlling the same include detecting a rotation angle of a seat. The vehicle and the method include controlling activation of a first type of roof airbag module provided in a central portion of a headlining and located at a side of the seat when the detected rotation angle of the seat is greater than a first reference angle and less than or equal to a second reference angle. The vehicle and the method include controlling activation of the first type of roof airbag module and a second type of roof airbag module provided in the central portion of the headlining and provided at a rear of the seat when the detected rotation angle of the seat is greater than the second reference angle and less than or equal to a third reference angle. The vehicle and the method include determining whether a collision with an obstacle has occurred during traveling. The vehicle and the method include deploying and expanding the activated airbag module when determining that the collision with the obstacle has occurred.

An arrangement in passenger vehicles, that diverts the impact energy in lateral or side impacts away from the passengers to the remaining mass of the vehicle thereby protecting the passengers, and in the same arrangement provides utilitarian access to the vehicle, such utilitarian access making it possible to both install multi-element contoured surround seats for passengers and the driver, and also a safety device for head-on collision protection that obviates the need for conventional seat belts and front impact airbags. An indo-skeletal structural arrangement proposed for the vehicle, provides further benefits by targeting the strength of the vehicle to protect passengers while minimizing other massive elements in the vehicle. Side impact protection for the head and neck are proposed with airbags and aircushions.

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.
