Patent EP-1449741-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MANWARING MARVIN V
IPC: B62D1/19
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: An energy absorbing device 10 for a collapsible steering column 12 of
a vehicle is able to compensate for the severity of a crash and the weight of the
driver to better manage the absorption of energy in a crash event. A housing has
at least one fixed abutment surface 32, 34, and at least one adjuster 40, 42
disposed in the housing for selective lateral slidable movement. At least one
anvil 28, 30 is disposed adjacent an initial abutment surface 58, 60 of the
adjuster 40, 42 in spaced relation to the fixed abutment surface 32, 34 ofthe
housing in a first position of the anvil 28, 30 associated with high energy
absorption. A plastically deformable strap 66 is supported between the anvil 28,
30 and the housing. The adjuster 40, 42 slides out of the path of the anvil 28, 30
in a crash event in response to input of a control signal allowing the anvil 28, 30
to slide into contact with the fixed abutment surface 32, 34 of the housing to
define a second position of the anvil 28, 30 associated with lower energy
absorption.

Abstract: A back-up system (100) for aiding a driver in backing a motor
vehicle (10) performs a number of functions when a motor vehicle (10) is
placed in a reverse direction. Initially, an image of an area at the rear of the
motor vehicle (10) provided by a camera (140) is visually displayed on a
monitor (120), which is positioned so as to be visually accessible by a driver of
the motor vehicle (10). Then, a distance to an object that is within a path of the
motor vehicle (10) is sensed with a radar sensor (124). Next, a warning is
provided when the object is within a predetermined collision distance. Finally,
when the motor vehicle (10) is placed in a forward direction, the display of the
image on the monitor (120) is discontinued.
