<p>The occupant protective apparatus comprises one or more seats 1 respectively supported on a vehicle body so as to be movable along the direction of a force acting on the vehicle body in the case of a collision and each including a seat belt 3 for constraining an occupant 2 seated on the seat 1, a battery 5, as an inertia mass member, supported on the vehicle body in such a manner that, when the vehicle body stops suddenly in the collision, it continues to move in the advancing direction of a vehicle in which the vehicle has been advancing until the time just before the collision occurs, and, a mutually reversing mechanism (in the illustrated embodiment, a pair of parallel links 6) for connecting together the seat and inertia mass member in such a manner that they can move the seat in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the inertia mass member in the collision. Due to this, for example, in case where a vehicle running in the advancing direction thereof collides head on with a structure on the road, backward going acceleration is applied to the seat at the same time with the occurrence of the vehicle head-on collision to thereby generate in the seat higher deceleration than the deceleration of the vehicle body. <IMAGE></p> |
