Abstract:
A knee bolster structure includes a vehicle-side member, a knee-receiving member, an impact-absorbing section for absorbing an input energy from knees of a driver or front-seat passenger when the knees hit the knee-receiving section, and a knee-receiving member movement section for moving the knee-receiving member to a knee-receiving position for the driver or front-seat passenger, said knee-receiving member being attached to the vehicle-side member via the impact-absorbing section and the knee-receiving member movement section, the impact-absorbing section being structurally separated from the knee-receiving member movement section.
Abstract:
An airbag attachment structure including an airbag supporting bracket (23), the airbag supporting bracket (23) including: the guide/reinforcement member (33) configured to carry both the guide function of the guide portion (G) and the reinforcement function of the reinforcement portion (R), and cover the circumference of the opening portion (28) of the airbag module (21), leaving an uncovered portion thereon; the partial guide member (34) configured to carry only the guide function of the guide portion (G), which is attached to the uncovered portion; and the partial reinforcement member (35) configured to carry only the reinforcement function of the reinforcement portion (R), which covers the partial guide member (34) from an outside thereof.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system for a Diesel engine, which is able to have a small space, a reduced number of parts, a light weight and an excellent maintainability by arranging such a common rail that eliminates the bracket structures for the common rail and the fuel feed pump and makes the fuel pipes short. The fuel injection system is constructed such that a common rail is mounted on a cylinder body, and such that a fuel feed pump is mounted to overlie said common rail, so that a fuel to be pumped by said fuel feed pump is injected into the combustion chambers of cylinders after it has been accumulated by the common rail.
Abstract:
An airbag lid structure includes: an airbag lid member which forms an opening for swelling an expanded airbag body; a cleavage groove formed on a back surface of the airbag lid member, and which defines the airbag lid member into a general surface located outside of the opening and a lid located inside of the opening, the lid including a front end edge and a back end edge; a first cleavage line structuring the cleavage groove and extending in a first direction; a second cleavage line structuring the cleavage groove and extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; a tear line included in the second cleavage line and corresponding to the front end edge of the lid; and a hinge line included in the second cleavage line and corresponding to the back end edge of the lid, and having a delayed rupture generating part which generates lag in rupturing of the hinge line relative to the tear line.
