Abstract

A newly developed seat belt pre-tensioner from TRW uses a snake-like plastic piston instead of metal components to transfer tensioning torque. The plastic piston is propelled through a tube by a propellant made of green gas and then drives the spool via a pinion. The new concept allows a simpler yet very robust design as well as compact packaging and is lighter in weight.
