INTRODUCTION

The seat belt systems are designed for optimal performance and reliability for specific vehicle environment. It prevents the passenger from heavy injuries by blocking them with seat itself. The tensioning system of the belt will allow the passenger to react for the impact.

RETRACTORS
The retractor will allow the belt to rotate freely before impact is occurred. During the impact, the automatic retractor will lock the belt and block the passenger to collide front. The retractor is placed at the side of the passenger seats to provide less tension to the belts. Automatic locking, Load limiter, Pretensioner, Tension reducer are the advanced features in retractors.

BELT BUCKLES
seat belt buckles are high strength (25 kN) and require minimal release effort. The release effort will be 13 2 N without load less than 50 N with load. Advanced G-force Buckle works with retractor pretensioners. Buckles should be smaller, lighter, easy to operate

HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The height adjuster enables the manufacturers to use a common mounting unit to meet various interior design requirements. The unit is compact (265 mm x 53 mm x 53 mm), low weight (320 g), high strength (20 kN) and easy to operate (sliding 6 N, pulling knob: 15 5 N). Height Adjuster is designed specifically for packaging behind the interior trim to provide styling flexibility.

AIR BAGS

Parts of an Airbag

The bag is made of a thin, nylon fabric, which is folded into the steering wheel or dashboard or, more recently, the seat or door.

 The sensor is the device that tells the bag to inflate. Inflation happens when there is a collision force equal to running into abrick wall at 10 to 15 miles per hour (16 to 24 km per hour). Sensors detect the crash using a mechanical switch that closes when a mass shifts and an electrical contact is made. Electronic sensors use a tiny accelerometer that has been etched on silicon chip.

 The air bags inflation system uses the rapid pulse of hot nitrogen gas from the chemical reaction of sodium azide (NaN3)and potassium nitrate (KNO3) to inflate the bag (full chemical equation).

How Airbags work

 The whole process happens in only one-twenty-fifth sec The additional time is enough to prevent serious injuries The bag literally bursts from its storage site at up to 200 mph (322 kph) -- faster than the blink of an eye! A second later, the gas quickly dissipates through tiny holesin the bag, thus deflating the bag so you can move The powdery substances is usually a talcum powder and these airbags are lubricated while in storage
