| THE CHILD’S AIR CAR SEAT WITH ACTIVE HEADREST |
| At present a vast number of various child’s car seats are designed, differing from each other in configuration, type of fastening, adjustments, additional appliances, etc. All these seats could be conventionally included into the “stationary” category, for they constantly occupy either a place in the compartment or considerable space in the car trunk. This could be regarded as their drawback. |

| ACTIVE' AIR HEADREST |
| That is for the sake of passive safety (and not for rest) that headrests appeared in the car. In the USA and Europe, with their kilometers-long rows of cars running at the same speed, a one-car-after-another collision is quite typical. One can easily imagine the consequences of a sudden throwing back of the head at the back hit. Throwing back of the head is certain spine fracture, and it is the headrest that saves the man’s life in this situation. |

| AMEANS OF A PEDESTRIAN AND CAR PROTECTION AT REVERSE PARKING |
| Equipment of the car with the shock-absorbing sliding-out rear bumper, located on the level of the car thresholds, provides for improved protection at hitting another car side. In this case the “softened” hit falls not on the car B-pillar or door, but on the threshold which constituting a single whole with the floor possesses significant toughness. At that people sitting in compartments of both cars do not suffer from the shock load. |

| DRIVER’S SAFETY SEAT |
| Passive safety plays a major part in the manufacturing programs of world automobile producers. Millions of dollars are spent on the development of passive safety. New models are subjected to the toughest of trials, and the companies are seeking a way out of this quandary. |

| A VEHICLE-PROTECTING DRIVER'S SEAT, OR WHY A HIJACKING IS COMMITTED EVERY 10.5 SEC SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD. |
| Vehicle hijacking is an extremely important problem for many countries. A million and a half cars are hijacked in America every year - their cost, 6 to 8 billion dollars. About 500 thousand are hijacked in Great Britain; in Italy, 300 thousand light vehicles alone, etc. In Europe, about 20 thousand heavy-load vehicles are hijacked along with expensive goods annually. A vehicle is hijacked every 10.5 sec somewhere in the world, or about 3 million each year. At the same time, if the expenses borne by insurance companies, the time and money spent searching for stolen vehicles, and the trouble inflicted on vehicle owners are considered, it becomes clear that today this a problem that stands out among problems.
A fundamentally new approach to the solution of this problem is offered. It is necessary for this purpose to assign the driver's seat a protective function. The inventions I am offering solve this problem by the rearward tilting of the driver's seat, which is fitted with a pivot connection of its rear supports with the body, and by its immobilization in that position. As a result, the inclined cushion of the driver's seat blocks access to the driver's seat, and the rearward-tilted backrest blocks access to the rear seat. |
