Title: Hybrid III 6-Year-Old Dummy Abdominal Insert Drawing and Femur Modifications
Abstract: This rulemaking would make minor technical modifications to the abdominal insert drawing and femur of the part 572, subpart N, Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy. This rulemaking was initiated in part in response to a petition from dummy manufacturers, First Technology Safety Systems and Denton, ATD, regarding changes to the abdominal insert drawing. This rulemaking would make minor dimensional amendments to the abdominal insert drawing and would also upgrade the current Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy femur design. The femur revisions were initiated in response to the agency?s observance of multiple failures of the Hybrid III 6-year-old child dummy femur in agency sled tests evaluating child restraint systems. The recommended design change would improve the durability of the part.
