FRONT AIRBAG DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
A front airbag device for a vehicle is proposed. In the front airbag device, an airbag cushion is mounted in front of a passenger and is expanded to be positioned at a front surface of the passenger, a triangular main tether and a triangular support tether are positioned inside the airbag cushion, and one side of the main tether and one side of the support tether are spaced apart from each other and are coupled to the airbag cushion in a sewn manner, so that the main tether and the support tether support a front surface portion of the airbag cushion to protect a front surface of the passenger.
Safety airbag
A safety airbag, comprising: an airbag (2) having a side air curtain (21) and a front air bag (22); an gas-guiding bag (3), which guides gas generated from a gas generator (4) into the airbag (2); and a backflow prevention assembly (7), which is connected to the gas-guiding bag (3) and which may prevent the gas in the front air bag (22) from flowing back to the side air curtain (21) when the front air bag (22) is extruded. The safety airbag may protect a occupant's head and effectively lessen the impact on the head or neck of the occupant.
Vehicle side airbag device
A vehicle side airbag device including an airbag accommodated within a seatback of a vehicle seat, and inflates and expands between a seated vehicle occupant and a side door, the airbag includes: a main body portion configured to restrain at least from a shoulder portion to a chest region of the seated vehicle occupant; and an extension portion configured to extend toward a vehicle front side or a vehicle rear side at a portion of a height region of the main body portion, and wherein, as seen in a vehicle side view, at a vehicle occupant shoulder portion height region, the extension portion overlaps a vehicle side portion member that structures a portion of a vehicle cabin side wall and that projects-out further toward a vehicle inner side than a side door glass.
INFLATABLE AIRBAG ASSEMBLIES FOR A UTILITY COMPONENT-EQUIPPED VEHICLE SEATING POSITION
Inflatable airbag assemblies and methods are disclosed for a vehicle seating position having a utility component or occupant accessory that at least partially extends over a seat of the vehicle seating position. The utility component/occupant accessory may be stowable, and may be adjustable upward-downward, fore-aft, rotationally, etc. The utility component/occupant accessory may house an inflatable airbag cushion of the inflatable airbag assembly, which may deploy in a collision event so as to be disposed between the utility component/occupant accessory and the vehicle seating position.
SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ESTABLISH A DEPLOYMENT FORCE FOR AN AIRBAG
One general aspect includes a system to establish a deployment force for an airbag of a vehicle, the system includes: a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions, where the executable instructions enable the processor to carry out the following steps: monitoring a head position of a vehicle occupant; based on the monitored head position, calculating a distance of a body part of a vehicle operator relative to a portion of an interior cabin of the vehicle; and based on the distance of the body part, establishing the deployment force for the airbag.
Rear occupant impact absorption assembly
An impact absorption assembly for a seat back is provided having a deformation zone as least partially disposed above a top surface of a seat back structure. The deformation zone deforms plastically upon an impact from a rearward direction.
Pillar airbag assembly
A vehicle includes a floor, a roof, and a pair of body sides spaced from each other. A pillar is spaced from both of the body sides. The pillar has a first end at the roof and a second end at the floor. An airbag is supported on the pillar.
Knee airbag apparatus for autonomous vehicle and method of controlling the same
A knee airbag apparatus for an autonomous vehicle, wherein a first cushion and a second cushion are deployed toward the knees of a passenger and a third cushion is deployed toward the feet and shins of the passenger according to a collision mode (head-on collision, offset collision or oblique collision) and a position (normal position or relaxation position) of a seat.
Airbag for vehicle
The present disclosure provides an airbag for a vehicle. The airbag safely supports a passenger after deploying forward from behind a passenger in a seat. Additionally, the airbag is able to be changed in position to safely protect a passenger by changing the position even when the position of a seat is changed.
Off-highway recreational device
A vehicle configuration wherein the center of mass of the vehicle is approximately superimposed upon the passenger and driver centers of mass when seated within the vehicle. An occupant's center of mass can be approximated using a standard center of mass position approximation, or a combination of any number of standard center of mass position approximations. The vehicle's center of mass can be approximately superimposed upon the occupant's center of mass in at least the longitudinal and vertical directions.
