An airbag device for a vehicle provided with a door and a side sill includes an airbag and an application state detector. The airbag is deployed from a container to be disposed on a lower side of the door on a vehicle body to a region on a vehicle-widthwise outside of the door. The application state detector detects a load application state of a load from the airbag to the vehicle body. The airbag includes a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an internal pressure controller. The first air chamber transmits a load applied from the vehicle-widthwise outside to a side surface of the side sill. The second air chamber couples a lower part of the first air chamber and the container. The internal pressure controller controls an internal pressure of the second air chamber based on the load application state detected by the application state detector.

An airbag device to be applied to a vehicle provided with A to C pillars, a door, and a side sill includes an airbag, a collision mode predictor, and a pressure controller. The airbag is deployed from a container to be disposed on a lower side of the side sill to a region on a vehicle-widthwise outside of a side surface of a vehicle body including the door. The airbag includes a first air chamber disposed mainly in front of the B pillar after being deployed and a second air chamber disposed mainly behind the B pillar after being deployed. The collision mode predictor predicts a collision mode of an object with the vehicle. The pressure controller increases or reduces at least either of internal pressures of the first air chamber and the second air chamber independently of the other, based on the predicted collision mode.

An improved fastener clip for a side curtain airbag is provided. The fastener clip includes a head portion and a body portion having first and second expansion legs. During installation, the fastener clip is manually inserted through aligned openings in an airbag attachment member and a body panel. When a bolt is threaded into the fastener clip, the head portion engages an upper surface of the airbag attachment member and the expansion legs flex laterally outward and engage an underside of the body panel. Spring tabs extend from the head portion and absorb vibrations to provide a secure attachment over the life of the fastener clip.

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.

A curtain airbag includes: an airbag body of which an upper periphery is fixedly mounted on a body side of the vehicle to be deployable downward to cover an inboard side of the window when an inflation gas flows in; and a connection belt connecting the window and the airbag body, wherein: the connection belt is arranged so as to cover a portion of an end periphery of the airbag body in the front and rear direction and an inflatable portion of the airbag body on an outboard side wall side of the airbag body in a proper arrangement state; and a mark for checking the proper arrangement state of the connection belt is arranged to be visually recognized from at least the outboard side wall side in a vicinity of each of an upper periphery and a lower periphery of the connection belt in the proper arrangement state.
