A torque-triggered seat back hinge unlocks under belt load to rotate forward, absorb crash energy, and reduce peak passenger impulse.
A support groove and extended gear support increase retainer coupling and support strength without enlarging the vehicle seat recliner.
A one-piece thermoplastic seat frame with rib and fiber reinforcement cuts metal parts, lowers vehicle mass, and preserves crash strength.
Recessed lower arms deform during crashes to absorb impact before it reaches the recliner and back frame, reducing seat weight and stress.
A hollow-section housing guides the presenter arm on a compact curved path, improving seat belt access, stiffness, and assembly.
A belt retractor nested inside a seat structural component saves space, improves crash force flow, and enables low-cost assembly with less play.
