Abstract: A hinge device is provided for a front hood of a motor vehicle. The front hood can be opened and closed by way of the hinge device, and the front hood can be adjusted from a normal position into a protective position in the event of a collision. The hinge device has a single front hood control link and a force introducing element which are connected in a rotatable manner relative to each other. The front hood control link and the force introducing element are arranged relative to each other in the protective position such that a first connection line from the first to the second rotational point and a second connection line from the first to the third rotational point form an angle which ranges from 150 degrees to 180 degrees in order to minimize vibrations of the front hood produced by the movement from the normal position into the protective position.

Abstract: An airbag device for pedestrian protection adapted to be mounted on a vicinity of the rear end of a vehicle hood. The airbag includes a transverse inflatable portion that covers a cowl of the vehicle generally entirely in the vehicle width direction when deployed, and an inlet port that is disposed in a front end region of the transverse inflatable portion to be coupled with an inflator. The airbag is stored in a housing in a folded-up configuration. The airbag is folded up through a front-rear contracting step that provides a front-rear contracted bag, i.e. a form of the airbag which has gone through the front-rear contracting step, and a transversely contracting step which folds the front-rear contracted bag with a crease at a vicinity of an outer end in a left and right direction of the inlet port. A transversely-contracted fold portion formed in the transversely contracting step and the inlet port are arranged in a stratified fashion.

Abstract: A gas pressure actuator includes a launcher, a gas generator that is disposed at a first axial end of the launcher, a rocket part placed inside the launcher, an end pad and a sealing gasket respectively disposed at a second axial end of the launcher, and a gasket holder supporting the gasket. The rocket part includes a first portion disposed at a location corresponding to the first axial end and a second portion that has a diameter less than that of the first portion and that ranges from the first portion toward the second axial end. The end pad includes a position determination part that determines positioning of the rocket part and restricts the rocket part from being displaced in a direction away from the first axial end. The gasket holder may be pressed by the first portion when the rocket part protrudes from the launcher and plastically deformed.

Abstract: An active hood latch device for a vehicle may actively reduce a pedestrian injury value by uniformly lifting up a front end portion of a hood of the vehicle by directly popping up a striker in case of a pedestrian collision accident. Such an active hood latch device may include an actuator for generating power for lifting up a striker locked by a passive latch, an actuator cooperating portion installed to connect the striker with the actuator and to lift up the striker in cooperation with the actuator when the actuator operates, and an electronic controller for operating the actuator upon receiving a sensing signal from a collision sensor that senses pedestrian collision.

Abstract: A hood hinge for a motor vehicle includes a first part attached to a vehicle body part and a second part attached to a front hood. A lifting mechanism is configured to extend the attachment parts from a starting position into a cushioning position in which the front hood is raised from the starting position. A limiter exerts a limiting force on the attachment parts for limiting an extension movement thereof. A deformation element deforms when the force of the limiter acts on at least one attachment part. A stop may contact a counter stop for limiting the deformation of the deformation element.
