An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle roof and a headliner supported by the vehicle roof. The assembly includes an energy absorber between the headliner and the vehicle roof. The energy absorber includes a wall extending transversely to the headliner and the vehicle roof. The wall includes a lattice structure including a repeating pattern of strips and open cells.

An impact absorbing member is disposed between a roof panel and a top ceiling disposed below the roof panel. The impact absorbing member includes a base plate portion and a hollow, cone-shaped portion extending upward from the base plate portion. The cone-shaped portion has a fragile portion that facilitates vertical crush and deformation.

A vehicle cushioning member includes first and second bending portions including first and second convex-bending portions, and first and second concave-bending portions. The first and second convex-bending portions and the first and second concave-bending portions are formed perimetrically while switched from each other between the adjacent side walls. When a length from a top surface of the top plate to a flange portion is 100%, a length from the top surface to the first bending portion is 24% or more and 47% or less, a length from the first bending portion to the second bending portion is 34% or more and 49% or less, and a length from the second bending portion to a top-plate-side surface of the flange portion is 13% or more and 33% or less, concerning a height direction along the axis of a substantially polygonal tube.

An assembly includes a seatback defining an occupant-seating area. The seatback has a frame and a rear trim cover. The frame is between the occupant-seating area and the rear trim cover. The assembly includes a seat bottom extending from the seatback below the occupant-seating area. The assembly includes a deformable cell between the frame and the rear trim cover. The deformable cell extends from a first end proximate the frame to a second end proximate the rear trim cover. The deformable cell has a contraction between the first end and the second end.

Provided is an automobile door (600) including: an exterior material (110); a first impact absorbing member (122); and a second impact absorbing member (124), in which the first impact absorbing member (122) is disposed to traverse the exterior material (110) so as to extend between both end portion regions in a vehicle height direction, the first impact absorbing member (122) is disposed on a vehicle interior side from the second impact absorbing member (124), the second impact absorbing member (124) is disposed to traverse the exterior material (110) so as to extend between both end portion regions in a vehicle length direction, the second impact absorbing member (124) is disposed adjacent to an inner surface of the exterior material (110), and at a portion excluding both of the end portion regions in the vehicle height direction, both of the end portion regions in the vehicle length direction, and an intersection portion, bending rigidity in a vehicle width direction of a cross section perpendicular to an extending direction of the first impact absorbing member (122) is larger than bending rigidity in the vehicle width direction of a cross section perpendicular to an extending direction of the second impact absorbing member (124).

A vehicle safety seat for protecting a vehicle occupant from injury due to impact and airborne debris, in the event of a collision. The vehicle safety seat includes a seat bottom, a backrest, and a headrest, wherein the seat is secured to a frame. The frame is pivotally secured to the floor and frame of a vehicle, wherein the seat can recline immediately in advance of a collision for absorbing impact forces. The safety seat further includes telescoping shields that are retractably secured to the lateral sides of the seat bottom, backrest, and headrest. The shields are projected from the safety seat, creating a protective cocoon around the seat occupant prior to a collision. The seat is operably connected to one or more sensors that can detect an imminent collision between the vehicle and another object, wherein a pneumatic system deploys the shields and an electro-mechanical system reclines the seat.

An assembly includes a seatback defining an occupant-seating area. The seatback has a frame and a rear trim cover. The frame is between the occupant-seating area and the rear trim cover. The assembly includes a seat bottom extending from the seatback below the occupant-seating area. The assembly includes a deformable cell between the frame and the rear trim cover. The deformable cell extends from a first end proximate the frame to a second end proximate the rear trim cover. The deformable cell has a contraction between the first end and the second end.

A shock absorber capable of suppressing load fluctuation after the start of plastic deformation. The shock absorber formed of a hollow molded body, including a load input surface; a fixed surface opposed to the load input surface; and a connection surface connecting the load input surface and the fixed surface. The connection surface includes at least one transverse groove rib, the at least one transverse groove rib includes at least two bending induction portions provided at positions where distances from the load input surface are different from each other, the at least two bending induction portions each being convex toward an outside of the shock absorber.

A superposition interior component includes a base, an outer layer member, which covers the base, and a middle member, which is made of a soft plastic and disposed between the base and the outer layer member. The superposition interior component is formed by stacking the base, the middle member, and the outer layer member together. The middle member includes a plate-shaped body, first protrusions, and second protrusions. The first protrusions protrude from a first surface of the body, which faces the base. The second protrusions protrude from a second surface of the body, which faces the outer layer member.

A vehicle door includes an interior panel including a housing extending from a first side of the interior panel and defining a cavity. An energy absorption structure is positioned within the cavity and includes a plurality of members arranged in a plurality of rows. Each of the plurality of members includes at least one arcuate support coupled with a rib and having first and second ends. The at least one arcuate support of each member is coupled to the at least one arcuate support of a neighboring member at one of the first and second ends.
