Embodiment Construction

[0023] now refer to figure 2 , 3 , 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b, which show a resettable armrest bracket 10 and an armrest mounting system 12 comprising the resettable armrest bracket. Such as Figure 4b and 5b As best shown in , the resettable armrest bracket 10 has a first section 16 connected to a second section 18 by a first resilient bend 20 . The second segment 18 is connected to the third segment 22 by a second bend 24 . The third segment 22 is connected to the fourth segment 26 by a third bend 28 .

[0024] As further shown, the first segment 16 forms a door inner panel abutment, which may be welded or otherwise connected to the outer side 30 of the door inner panel 32 . The fourth segment 26 may form an armrest support.

[0025] More specifically, the fourth section 26 of the resettable armrest bracket 10 may also include a receptacle 34 for receiving and retaining a mount 36 protruding from the armrest 38 . In the illustrated embodiment, the receptacle 34 forms a first ...

Abstract

An armrest mounting system includes an armrest having at least one projecting mount, a door inner including an inner margin defining an armrest accommodation feature and at least one resettable armrest bracket carried on the door inner and engaging the at least one projecting mount extending through the armrest accommodation feature. A related method of mitigating an injury in the event of a sideimpact is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates generally to the field of motor vehicle equipment, and more particularly to a new and improved resettable armrest bracket, an armrest mounting system including a resettable armrest bracket, and a corresponding injury mitigation system in the event of a side impact method. Background technique [0002] In a side collision, the doors of the impacted motor vehicle typically bend inward, intruding into the passenger compartment. With sufficient impact, the invasion can be significant. Such as figure 1 As shown, the armrest A is generally aligned with the ribs R of the occupant O. Armrest A is generally rigid and may cause high rib deflection and rib damage when a side impact results in substantial inward intrusion of the armrest into ribs R of occupant O. [0003] This document relates to a new and improved resettable armrest bracket and an armrest mounting system including a resettable armrest bracket adapted or configured to mit...
