Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
An arrangement of a collision sensor for a side collision airbag apparatus for inflating an airbag between a passenger and an inner side wall of the compartment of a vehicle at the time of a collision of the vehicle, comprising: a floor structure including a reinforcing member for maintaining the strength and rigidity of a vehicular body; and a collision sensor fixed on said reinforcing member for sensing a collision in terms of an impact load inputted from a side of the vehicular body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 1, wherein said reinforcing member includes: a cross member arranged widthwise of the vehicular body; and such a portion of a floor pan connected to said cross member as is close to said cross member, and wherein said collision sensor is fixed on said cross member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 1, wherein said reinforcing member includes: a cross member arranged widthwise of the vehicular body; and such a portion of a floor pan connected to said cross member as is close to said cross member, and wherein said collision sensor is fixed on the portion of said floor pan close to said cross member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 2, wherein said collision sensor is disposed on the center line of the vehicular body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 1, wherein said reinforcing member includes: a cross member arranged widthwise of the vehicular body; and a floor tunnel intersecting said cross member and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicular body, and wherein said collision sensor is disposed on said floor tunnel and across the axis of said cross member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
83 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 1, wherein said reinforcing member includes: a cross member arranged widthwise of the vehicular body; a floor tunnel intersecting said cross member and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicular body; and such a portion of a floor pan connected to an intersecting position between said cross member and said floor tunnel as is close to said intersecting position, and wherein said collision sensor is fixed on said floor pan close to said intersecting position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A collision sensor arrangement according to Claim 1, wherein said collision sensor includes acceleration sensing means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
