Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, a vehicle 10 is generally shown. refer to Figure 1-2 , crew 14 (eg, Figure 1-2 The experimental model 14 in ) sits in the rear seat 15 behind the front seat 17 . Continue to refer to Figure 1-2 , the front seat 17 includes a seat bottom 19 and a seat back 16 extending upward from the seat bottom 19 . Such as image 3 As shown, the seat back 16 includes a plate 18 rotatably connected to a frame 26 by a hinge joint 20 .

[0039] In an accident where the vehicle 10 decelerates rapidly, such as a collision with another vehicle, the occupants 14 of the rear seat 15 will tend to keep moving in the direction of the vehicle 10 during the deceleration of the vehicle 10 . Once this occurs, the plate 18 attached to the frame 26 by the hinge joint 20 pivots away from the seat back 16 and creates a kinetic energy absorbing cushioning gap between the occupant 14 and the front se...

Abstract

A seatback includes a frame and a panel rotatably coupled to the frame. A support bracket is attached to the frame with a lever is rotatably coupled to the support bracket. The lever is configured to engage the panel with a frame supported actuator via a cable attached to the actuator and the lever.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to seat backs for motor vehicles, and more particularly, to an energy absorbing seat back panel. Background technique [0002] Vehicle interiors, such as motor vehicles, often include energy absorbers for absorbing the kinetic energy of the vehicle occupants during a vehicle collision. One or more energy absorbers may be passive and designed and built into the vehicle interior. One or more energy absorbers may be active and triggered when a collision is detected. Active energy absorbers can communicate with actuators and crash sensing systems. A crash sensing system may include several sensors for sensing a crash and a controller in communication with the sensors and actuators. Based on the impact sensed by the sensors, the controller causes the actuators to be triggered to deploy the active energy absorbers. [0003] The vehicle may include energy absorbers that absorb energy from rear occupants (ie occupant...
