A neck protection system includes a support structure, helmet, force transmission arrangement, actuator arrangement, sensor arrangement, and controller. The force transmission arrangement is coupled to the support structure and the helmet and applies a relative force between them. The actuator arrangement applies a load to the force transmission arrangement to initiate the relative force between the support structure and the helmet. The sensor arrangement measures movement changes of a vehicle. The controller is connected to the sensor arrangement to receive data representing the measured movement changes, and connected to the actuator arrangement, and generates and sends control commands to the actuator arrangement based on which the actuator arrangement applies the load to the force transmission arrangement. The controller receives maneuver information from a control computer of a vehicle and generates the control commands based on the received maneuver information and/or based on measurements of the sensor arrangement.

An occupant protection device includes a seat having a seat portion and a backrest portion, an elongated restraining member for restraining an occupant in the seat, and a take-up unit that takes up the restraining member, wherein the restraining member is fed out from a housing portion of the seat and pulled up toward an upper end side of the backrest portion in accompaniment to an operation of the take-up unit, forming an occupant supporting portion, which supports a back face side of left and right thigh portions of the occupant, and a pulling portion that extends from both left and right ends of the occupant supporting portion to the upper end side of the backrest portion, and restrains the occupant against the backrest portion.

A restraint system for a driver of a vehicle comprises at least one protective bar (6), being supported on at least one pillar (2). To achieve an alignment, at least one protective bar (6) is pivotably supported by at least one eccentric (8). The protective bar is lockable.

To achieve an alignment, said at least on protective bar (6) is pivotably supported by means of at least on eccentric (8). The pivotability is lockable by at least one retaining means (11).

A restraint system is used to provide a dynamically adjustable compliance for an occupant in a ride system. The restraint system includes a strap with adjustable extension length to wrap around the occupant. A tension on the strap is measured and used to adjust the length of the strap to provide different restraint levels. The restraint level is associated with the condition of the occupant (e.g., height, weight, age, shape, size), a property of the ride system (e.g., configuration of the ride vehicle), an operating parameter of the ride vehicle (e.g., velocity, acceleration, moving direction), a feature of the environment that the ride vehicle rides in, or any combination thereof.

A backrest includes a panel-shaped base member that is provided along a main surface which includes a reference line extending in a direction intersecting a floor surface of a vehicle, and a retaining member that is provided on a front surface of the base member and that has a front surface which has a curved surface shape in a state in which the retaining member is supporting a load in a direction toward the main surface. Due to this configuration, the retaining member presents a curved surface shape due to the load of a standing passenger when the passenger leans against the backrest, and thereby the passenger's body can be stably retained.

An occupant protection device includes a seat having a seat portion and a backrest portion, an elongated restraining member for restraining an occupant in the seat, and a take-up unit that takes up the restraining member. The restraining member is fed out from a housing portion of the seat and pulled up toward an upper end side of the backrest portion in accompaniment to an operation of the take-up unit, forming an occupant supporting portion and a pulling portion. The occupant supporting portion supports a back face side of left and right thigh portions of the occupant. The pulling portion extends from both left and right ends of the occupant supporting portion to the upper end side of the backrest portion, and restrains the occupant against the backrest portion.
