Curtain airbag deployment ramp with mounting tabs

A deployment ramp for helping to direct a curtain airbag to deploy inboard of a trim piece on a side structure of a vehicle includes a deployment flap for directing the curtain airbag to deploy inboard of the trim piece and a mounting portion configured to receive a fastener for connecting the deployment ramp and the curtain airbag to the vehicle. The mounting portion includes a pair of mounting tabs. Each mounting tab is configured to be installed in a corresponding sleeve in the curtain airbag to connect the deployment ramp to the curtain airbag. The mounting portion is configured so that installing both mounting tabs in their corresponding sleeves requires the application of external manipulating forces to the mounting portion in order to bend and/or deflect in order to overcome an interference between the mounting portion and the curtain airbag.

Vehicle seat including movable airbag

A seat includes a seat bottom and a seatback rotatable relative to the seat bottom. The seatback is elongated upwardly from the seat bottom along a longitudinal axis of the seatback. An airbag assembly is supported by the seatback in an uninflated position. The airbag includes a housing and an airbag supported by the housing. The housing is moveably engaged with the seatback and moveable relative to the seat along a longitudinal axis of the seatback.

AIRBAG APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

An airbag apparatus for a vehicle, in which a lateral tether is disconnected or a front tether is disconnected, in the event of a collision accident, depending on whether a passenger seated in a passenger seat is in a normal seating state or a relaxed seating state, such that a deployed airbag cushion may effectively protect not only a passenger seated in the passenger seat in the normal seating state but also a passenger seated in the passenger seat in the relaxed seating state.

Apparatus for Knee Airbag

An embodiment apparatus for a knee airbag includes an airbag located inside a cockpit, the cockpit configured to be located in a front side of an interior of a vehicle, an airbag door disposed in the cockpit at a position facing an occupant knee area, the airbag door being configured to open when the airbag is deployed, an absorber located at a front end of the airbag, and a guide part surrounding at least two surfaces of the absorber and the airbag.

Side mounting seat of PAB chute with improved weldability and method of manufacturing PAB chute
11654854 · 2023-05-23 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a side mounting seat with an increased area that a vibration welding pressing jig directly presses. It is important to minimize an unpressed area by maximally securing an area that a welding jig may directly press in order to simultaneously secure weldability and exterior quality. The present disclosure provides a structure in which a hollow space in a side mounting seat is reduced by minimizing a necessary area of a hollow doghouse of the side mounting seat of each of both sides of a PAB chute, and a pressing target surface is added to allow the welding jig to press an idle region which is conventionally not directly pressed by the welding jig.

Airbag apparatus of vehicle

An airbag apparatus of a vehicle. In the airbag apparatus, a plurality of inflators is connected to a roof airbag, and the plurality of inflators is selectively operated according to the information of an occupant boarded in the vehicle, whereby the roof airbag expands to optimize for the occupant in the vehicle and safely protects the occupant.

CENTER AIRBAG APPARATUS

A center airbag apparatus may include: an inflator mounted in an instrument panel and configured to inject gas; a first cushion part deployed by the gas injected from the inflator, and configured to support a driver airbag; and a second cushion part connected to the first cushion part, and configured to be deployed between the driver airbag and a passenger airbag to protrude toward the rear of a vehicle based on the driver airbag.

SIDE AIRBAG DEVICE

A side airbag device capable of preventing interference between a harness and an airbag is provided between a vehicle body and a seat. The side airbag device includes an airbag module an inflatable airbag and an inflator supplying a gas into the airbag, a base member including an airbag storage portion having a concave shape and storing the airbag module and is attached between a vehicle body door and the seat, and a retainer member holding the airbag storage portion from the rear side of the vehicle body. The base member includes a first through hole through which a harness of the inflator is inserted and a flange which is formed in the periphery of the first through hole. The retainer member includes a second through hole through which the harness of the inflator is inserted and which is provided at a position facing the first through hole.

Side curtain airbag assembly for a motor vehicle

A side curtain airbag assembly for a motor vehicle has an airbag that includes a pair of deployable outwardly extending tongues. The tongues project are positioned so as to engage an upstanding structural member such as a “B” pillar when they are inflated/deployed so that the “B” pillar is sandwiched between the two tongues. The tongues act to resist longitudinal movement of the airbag thereby reducing outward bulging of the airbag if it is subject to an impact force from an interior of the motor vehicle. The tongues are inflated via respective tubes that receive inflation gasses from the airbag and conduct the gasses into the tongues. The inlet ends of the tubes are adjacent a lower end thereof to ensure that the tongues are not inflated until the airbag is fully deployed downward. The tubes may extend within the interior of the airbag or along the exterior.
