A curtain airbag module for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes an airbag package including a curtain airbag configured to inflate between a side structure of the vehicle and the vehicle occupant. The airbag package also includes an airbag wrap that packages the curtain airbag in a stored condition and is configured to rupture and release the curtain airbag for deployment in response curtain airbag inflation. The curtain airbag module also includes a deployment ramp including a ramp portion for helping to direct the curtain airbag to deploy inboard of the side structure. The deployment ramp also includes retainer portions, spaced along its length, that are configured for insertion into retainer slots in the airbag wrap to connect the airbag package to the deployment ramp.

A knee airbag is proposed. The knee airbag is configured to be applied to a slim-type cockpit design and to quickly restrain the knees of an occupant without increasing a package of an airbag cushion to reduce a risk of injuries to the occupant. The knee airbag includes an airbag housing provided at a lower end of a cockpit, and including an airbag cushion located toward an occupant, a cover assembled to the airbag housing in a shape of covering the airbag cushion, wherein in deployment of the airbag cushion, a lower portion of the cover is fixed to the airbag housing and an upper portion thereof is separated and opened from the airbag housing, and an opening limiting unit configured to limit an opening degree of the upper portion of the cover.

A vehicle airbag system includes an airbag module, a seat detector, and an electronic controller. The airbag module has an airbag that is configured to be movably mounted to a vehicle roof structure. The seat detector detects a position of a vehicle seat. The electronic controller is in communication with the airbag module and the seat detector. The controller controls the airbag module to inflate the airbag in a predetermined direction based on detected position of the vehicle seat by the seat detector.

An assembly includes a vehicle seat. The assembly includes an armrest supported by the vehicle seat. The armrest includes an upright portion elongated along an axis and an arm support portion supported by the upright portion. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the arm support portion of the armrest. The airbag inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag includes an upper portion extending upwardly from the arm support portion when the airbag is in the inflated position and a lower portion extending downwardly from the arm support portion when the airbag is in the inflated position. The upper portion is vehicle-inboard of the axis and the lower portion being vehicle-outboard of the axis.

A driver airbag apparatus for a vehicle is proposed. The driver airbag apparatus includes: the driver airbag apparatus being located at a rear of a steering wheel having an obstacle and configured to be deployed forward of the steering wheel while avoiding the obstacle, an airbag cushion configured to be deployed forward of the steering wheel via a gap between the obstacle and the steering wheel when gas is supplied thereinto; a gas injector located below the airbag cushion and configured to inject the gas into the airbag cushion via a gas outlet; and a diffuser configured to be deployed in the airbag cushion, and covering a part or all of the gas outlet from above the gas outlet and being open at a front portion thereof so as to guide the gas injected via the gas outlet to flow in front of an occupant.

A trim assembly for deploying an airbag element, a vehicle including such a trim assembly and a method for manufacturing such a trim assembly. The trim unit includes a vehicle body portion, a trim unit and at least one fixing element. The fixing element is configured to attach the trim unit to the vehicle body portion. The airbag element is arranged between the trim unit and the vehicle body portion. The trim unit is configured to cover at least partially the airbag element. The trim unit is pivotable about the fixing element such that the trim unit is tilted away from the vehicle body portion during a deployment of the airbag element.

A vehicle airbag device comprises an airbag body including a front-rear chamber configured to pass a side of the head of an occupant seated in a vehicle seat and to deploy toward a seat front side as a result of gas being ejected from an inflator actuated, so as to be disposed at the side of the head of the occupant, a leading end chamber is configured to deploy toward a seat width direction inner side from a seat front side end portion of the front-rear chamber so as to be disposed at the seat front side of the head of the occupant, and a shoulder-contact section is configured to contact, from the seat front side, a first shoulder of the occupant so as to restrain the first shoulder, the first shoulder being at an opposite side from a second shoulder of the occupant across which a shoulder belt is worn.

A vehicle detects a rotation angle of a seat, controls activation of a first type of roof airbag module provided in a central portion of a headlining and located at a side of the seat when the detected rotation angle of the seat is greater than a first reference angle and less than or equal to a second reference angle, controls activation of the first type of roof airbag module and a second type of roof airbag module provided in the central portion of the headlining and provided at a rear of the seat when the detected rotation angle of the seat is greater than the second reference angle and less than or equal to a third reference angle, determines whether a collision with an obstacle has occurred during traveling, and deploys and expands the activated airbag module when determining that the collision with the obstacle has occurred.

A panoramic window safety system applied to a vehicle moves a piston in a piston movement space of a piston carriage by a gas pressure of an inflator located on the bottom portion of a panoramic window space, and switches a wire that forms a side bending arrangement in the panoramic window space into an intermediate linear arrangement by a forward movement of the piston to be stood perpendicular to the panoramic window space to support an airbag covering the panoramic window space, preventing the risk of a passenger leaving when a panoramic window having the size at which the upper body of a passenger is exposed is damaged to meet the North American regulations that prescribe preventing the passenger from leaving.

An occupant position detection system includes an imaging device configured to capture an image of an occupant seated on a seat provided in an interior of a vehicle, a sensor provided on the seat, a first calculating unit configured to calculate a first position of the occupant from the image captured by the imaging device, a second calculating unit configured to calculate a second position of the occupant from a detection result of the sensor, an occupant position calculating unit configured to calculate an occupant position by fusing the first position and the second position, and an output unit configured to output information on the occupant position calculated by the occupant position calculating unit, to a safety device.
