Patent EP-1459946-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OHJI NOBUYUKI
IPC: B60R21/26
Filed: 2002-12-25
Abstract: The present invention provides a gas generator for an air bag which exhibits an excellent inflatability of an air bag. 
     Opening diameters of gas discharging ports are set in order of 26a > 26b > 26c, and the gas discharging ports are closed by a seal tape 17. When an internal pressure due to a gas generated by combustion of a first gas generating agent 9a increases, the gas discharging port 26a is first opened to decrease the internal pressure. Subsequently, the internal pressure increases again due to the gas and the gas discharging port 26b is opened to decrease the internal pressure. Since a change in gas amount is reduced by this repetition, the change in increase of the gas amount is made small regardless of a combustion timing of the second gas generating agent 9b.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un contrôle d'accompagnement supplémentaire pour chariot à conducteur porté ou accompagnant (100), assuré par des interrupteurs supplémentaires à fonction intermittente (128, 130, 128A, 130A) et des interrupteurs de marche en roue libre (111) adjacents à la base des fourches de manutention (106). Les interrupteurs cités en premier sont activés durant les opérations en roue libre, ce qui permet à l'opérateur d'avancer jusqu'à la base des fourches afin d'accélérer la marche du chariot, entre des charges faiblement espacées le long d'un trajet de manutention de charges sensiblement droit. Pour le freinage (117), l'opérateur active les interrupteurs cités en second afin de libérer le mode roue libre et de solliciter les freins de sécurité (133). Un détecteur de direction (127) détermine la direction de la roue directrice, et si le trajet de cette roue n'est pas sensiblement rectiligne, on désactive le mode de fonctionnement assuré via les interrupteurs supplémentaires à fonction intermittente.
