A curtain airbag apparatus may include: a cushion part disposed at the top of a pillar part; one or more guide members connected to the cushion part and configured to fix the cushion part to a vehicle body; and a cushion moving part connected to the cushion part, disposed between the guide members and the vehicle body, fixed to the guide members, and configured to deform the guide members to move the cushion part to an indoor side of the vehicle body, while inflated by gas injected from an inflator.

REAR SEAT AIRBAG MODULE

A rear vehicle seat airbag module configured to be mounted to a portion of a seat back of a front vehicle seat comprising an inflator and an inflatable cushion comprising a lower portion, an upper portion and an external tether connecting the lower portion and the upper portion. The inflator provides inflation gas to the inflatable cushion and the inflatable cushion is configured to deploy forward of an occupant seated in a rear seat of a vehicle by curving away from the occupant. The external tether is configured to control a trajectory of the deployment of the inflatable cushion by pulling the upper portion toward the lower portion to curve the inflatable cushion such that the upper portion is located above the lower portion.

AIRBAG INFLATORS INCLUDING ASPIRATORS

Airbag inflator system including a housing defining a flow passage leading into an interior of an airbag). A gas generator is arranged in connection with the housing. An activation system provides a signal to the gas generator to cause generation of gas. An aspirator is arranged between the reverse flow valve and the outlet end region and includes an inlet portion alongside the reverse flow valve and an aspiration portion partly separated from the inlet portion to define at least one opening in flow communication with the gas generator. The aspirator is preferably configured to generate gas flow in accordance with the Prandtl-Meyer effect.

Device for protecting an individual sitting on a seat, a seat, and a vehicle

Gas generator with improved supported burst cup
09738245 · 2017-08-22 · ·

A pressurized gas mechanism contains a sealed gas container containing a sealed first end, and, a burst cup sealing the first end and containing a rupturable portion. A housing encases the burst cup and is juxtaposed to at least a portion of the sealed gas container, the housing containing a surface juxtaposed to the rupturable portion. Upon actuation of the mechanism, the rupturable portion is adapted to rupture as the rupturable portion is leveraged against the surface, thereby releasing gas from the sealed gas container.

AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM FOR A TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE
20170232921 · 2017-08-17 ·

An airbag safety system is provided with two or more safety airbags which can be adjoined to protect the rider when a crash occurs. A stabilizing mechanism is used to cause the inflated airbags to adjoin each other so as to form a stable protection space between the vehicle and the adjoined airbags. The adjoined airbags are shaped to meet a rider's ergonomics, making sure the rider can be caped for head protection and can be protected within the space surrounded by the airbags from being thrown away off the vehicle and subject to serious injuries.
