SAFE SMALL CAR WITH DEVICE FOR PREVENTING COLLISION DEATH AT 80 KM/HOUR SPEED

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that materialization of a safe small car was thought to be impossible since vehicle weight was estimated to be about 900 kg odd and a space at the front of an occupant required for the safe deceleration of the occupant in such a conventional small car was small though the U.S.A. government D.O.T proposed a concrete plan of a collision safety small car at 80 km/hour speed achieved by new technology to world car engineers for the first time in the world about 40 years ago. PSOLUTION: A hatch back door that flips up is turned around a hinge pin arranged at a rear head part in an in-vehicle space of a small car as a rotating center so that a sufficient space is secured at the rear of the occupant. The safe deceleration movement of the occupant is started immediately before a vehicle collides with a collision body. The safe deceleration movement is smoothly successively continued using a space caused at the front of the occupant after collision when the vehicle rapidly stops, so that new safe small car technology capable of securing the safety of the occupant at collision at 80 km/hour speed is materialized.
