Latest Patents
James R Wilde holds a patent for a "Compact dual-level load limiting seat belt retractor." This invention features a seat belt retractor that incorporates first and second serially arranged torsion bars along with a switching mechanism that provides two levels of load limiting. The design includes a bridge bolt that is rotationally fixed to the inboard ends of the torsion bars and is threaded into a locking base. The switching mechanism is designed to prevent bridge bolt translation relative to the locking base in a default condition, thereby limiting seat belt load with the first torsion bar. When activated, the switching mechanism allows limited translation of the bridge bolt relative to the locking base to limit seat belt load with the second torsion bar. This innovative design ensures enhanced safety by re-establishing load limiting with the first torsion bar when additional translation is prevented.
