ABSTRACT:
A protection system for an occupant seat in a vehicle has a net stored in the headliner above and forward of the front seat. The net is secured at its four corners to cables that are trained along the inside of the vehicle to a pair of pistons in barrels that are located beneath the vehicle. A sensor electrically triggers firing of charges that propel the pistons in the event of a vehicle crash in a wide angle frontal plane. The pistons tension the cables to deploy the net across the front (and sides) of the occupant seat to restrain movement of any occupants in the seat. The cables are latched to maintain the net in its deployed position. A quick release mechanism enables an occupant to release the net after a crash impact or series of crash impacts. Additional protection systems may be provided for additional occupant seats in the vehicle.
