A valve driving device including a tappet assembly adapted to slide in a tappet guide hole to drive a valve and including a high-speed center tappet and low-speed side tappet; and a high-speed center cam and a low-speed side cam provided corresponding to the center tappet and the side tappet. A depression is formed which is depressed from a base circle to roughly the same profile as a shaft section of the camshaft so that the cam portion over a predetermined angle range where a cam nose section ...

An occupant protection system of the type of predicted rear-end collision adaptive control raises an alarm when a rear-end collision is predicted and activates a belt tensioning motor to strain a safety belt so as to restrain the occupant strongly against the back of a seat at a point of time specified seconds before a possible occurrence of the predicted rear-end collision. In specific running situations such as cornering a sharp bent lane and making a right or left turn where the occupant prot...

A seat belt system which does not interfere with the ingress and egress of rear seat passengers, and can detect the presence of an occupant without being influenced by the seat belt tension to provide the accurate weight detection. In one embodiment, the seat belt system comprises a retractor disposed in the rear door, an anchor of the seat belt webbing, and a rail member that allows the anchor of the seat belt webbing to slide in the vehicular longitudinal direction. The front end of the rail m...
