ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a vehicle seat (10) and an actuating assembly (80). The seat (10) has a wing (34) which is movable from a retracted position to a deployed position. When the wing (34) is in the deployed position, it projects adjacent to an occupant the seat (10) to restrain movement of the occupant off the seat (10). The actuating assembly (80) moves the wing (34) from the retracted position to the deployed position upon the occurrence of a vehicle crash.
