A curtain airbag for a vehicle comprising: an airbag main body, an air chamber defined by the airbag main body; and a strip-shaped component, abutting the airbag main body. The strip-shaped component is electrically conductive, and is configured to deform or break when the airbag main body is twisted so that resistance of the strip-shaped component changes.

An airbag unit comprising an airbag (22) folded or rolled into an elongate package as well as a wrapping (28) holding the package in the folded state includes a fold-back longitudinal end (36) of the package. Apart from a first tearing line (32) through which the airbag (22) leaves the wrapping (28), in the area of the bending point (38) the wrapping (28) has a second tearing line (50) which provides for better gas flow to the fold-back package portion (40).

An apparatus for mounting a curtain airbag cushion, the apparatus including an intermediate connection tab and a strap sewn onto a curtain airbag cushion, a mounting plate coupled to the intermediate connection tab, and a ramp bracket assembled with the mounting plate and fixedly coupled to a vehicle body together with the mounting plate, in which the mounting plate and the ramp bracket are assembled as a coupling hook of the mounting plate passes through a hook hole of the ramp bracket.

A knee airbag module includes an inflatable knee airbag, an inflator for inflating the knee airbag, a housing for supporting the knee airbag and inflator, a cover for enclosing the knee airbag in the housing, and a deployment flap positioned beneath the cover. The housing includes an opening through which the knee airbag deploys. The deployment flap is connected to the housing and spans across at least a portion of the opening. The knee airbag has a width that extends laterally beyond the lateral extent of the housing when the airbag is deployed. The knee airbag also includes a central portion that spans the width of the housing when the knee airbag is deployed. The deployment flap is configured to initially inhibit deployment of the central portion of the knee airbag while remaining portions of the knee airbag initially deploy. The deployment flap is configured to thereafter rupture and permit deployment of the central portion.

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.

An improved modularization of an airbag cushion covered with a cover member and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. A first press is performed on the first portion of the cover member in a state where the folded airbag cushion is not covered with the cover member. The first portion has at least a portion that includes a position corresponding to an inflator within the folded airbag cushion. Next, the folded airbag cushion is covered with the cover member, and in the covered state, a second press is applied to at least a part of the second portion of the cover member excluding the first portion.

An occupant protecting device provided inside or below a seat cushion of a vehicle seat, including an airbag cushion, an inflator, and a cover that covers at least a portion of the airbag cushion and is capable of being cleaved opened by the expansion and deployment of the airbag cushion. The airbag cushion has front and rear attaching points attached to the vehicle seat side as well as an expanding and deploying part that at least expands and deploys between the front and rear attaching points. The cover has a weak portion that serves as a starting point when cleaved open by expansion and deployment of the airbag cushion and is arranged on a rearward side. The cover covers the front attaching points side of the expanding and deploying part and is attached to the vehicle seat on the front attaching points side.

An apparatus for mounting a curtain airbag cushion is proposed. The apparatus for mounting curtain airbag cushion includes an intermediate connection tap (200) and a strap (400) coupled to the curtain airbag cushion (1) by sewing (300), and a mounting plate (100) coupled to the intermediate connection tap (200) and securely coupled to a vehicle body (2). The mounting plate (100) is made of a steel material, thereby maintaining sufficient assembly torque when the mounting plate 100 is securely assembled to the vehicle body 2 by a medium of a bolt (500), and the intermediate connection tap (200) and the strap (400) coupled to the curtain airbag cushion (1) by sewing (300) are made of flexible fabric materials, thereby preventing the curtain airbag cushion (1) from being damaged by the intermediate connection tap (200) and the strap (400) in sewing 300.
