US Patent:
6450449, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Apr 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/841769
Inventors:
Roger Podob - Lexington Park MD
Joseph Courtland Elliott, II - Toronto, CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
B64D 1106
US Classification:
244122R, 2441185
Abstract:
An apparatus for repositioning an occupant in response to a crash event including a seat, a pivot and an energy absorber. In response to the force of a crash, the energy absorber absorbs at least a portion of the energy of the crash and allows the seat to move to a more desirable position. An accelerometer may be used to generate a signal in response to a crash to activate an explosive charge and cause the seat to pivot to a more desirable position.
Roger B Podob from Lexington Park, MD, age ~58 Get Report
