ABSTRACT:
A passenger attitude control apparatus for use in combination with an air bag disposed to restrain the upper body of a passenger at the moment of a collision. Under normal conditions, a passenger is seated on a cushion supported by a cushion spring having one end fixed to the back side of a seat and with the other end fixed to a rotatable shaft having an attached end plate which is prevented from turning by a locking member. At substantially the same time as the operation of the air bag, upon the occurrence of a collision, the locking member releases the end plate enabling the shaft to turn, causing the passenger and seat to descend. The passenger is distanced from the front portion of the compartment to prevent the passenger from sustaining injury.
