A vehicle seat includes a seatback, a headrest and an airbag unit. The seatback has a front side and a rear side. The headrest is connected to the seatback by at least one post and is adjustable relative to the seatback in a vertical direction. The airbag unit is carried by the seatback and includes an airbag and an inflator. The airbag is rearwardly deployable from the rear side of the seatback from a stored position proximate an upper end of the seatback. The at least one post is oriented relative to the airbag unit in a position selected from a group consisting of a first position in which the at least one post includes a lower end vertically above the airbag unit with a line along an elongated axis of the at least one post intersecting the airbag unit and a second position on which the at least one post is laterally spaced from the airbag unit.

A side airbag device with a base member for an inflator to be easily fixed thereto, and a method for manufacturing same is provided. The side airbag device includes: an airbag; an inflator configured to supply the airbag with gas; a base member configured to accommodate the airbag and the inflator, and to be fixed to a vehicle body; an outer covering member configured to cover at least a front side of the base member to form a front-facing interior surface; and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes an inflator fixing portion to which the inflator is fixed and a base member fixing portion which is located in a position different from a position of the inflator fixing portion and fixed to the base member. The base member includes, at a left or right side portion thereof, a bracket fixing portion to which the mounting bracket is fixed.

A rear seat side airbag device that includes: an inflator that generates gas in the event of a vehicle collision; and a side airbag that is supplied with gas from the inflator from a position in a vehicle cabin side portion that corresponds to a rear seat, and that is inflated and deployed towards a portion on an outer side in a vehicle width direction of a vehicle occupant in a case in which the vehicle occupant is sitting in the rear seat.

An in-seat airbag device, includes: an airbag main body having a front-rear chamber that, due to gas jetted from an inflator, expands past a side of a head of a passenger toward a seat front side and is disposed at the side of the head of the passenger, and a distal end chamber that expands from a seat front side end portion of the front-rear chamber toward a seat width direction inner side and is disposed at a seat front side of a face of the passenger, wherein the airbag main body is accommodated in a state of having an outwardly-wound portion that is wound outwardly in a form of a roll whose axial direction is a seat vertical direction, after a distal end portion of the distal end chamber is folded-over toward a side opposite a passenger side.

A seat includes a seatback having an exterior panel. The seat includes a first member and a second member each being inflatable to an inflated position and defining an inflation chamber, the inflation chambers spaced from each other. The exterior panel extends between and is secured to the first member and the second member external to the inflation chambers in the inflated position.

A rear seat side airbag device includes: a case that is provided at a vehicle rear side of a cabin-side wall portion, a plate thickness direction of which is a substantially vehicle longitudinal direction, of a seat side garnish disposed between a vehicle side portion and a seatback of a rear seat, that has an opening portion that opens toward the cabin-side wall portion, and that houses an airbag module main body; an airbag door that covers the opening portion, and that is surrounded by a tear portion and a hinge portion that are formed at regions corresponding to the opening portion; and a spacer that is provided at the airbag door and projects out into the case.

In the state in which the first reinforcing cloth and the second reinforcing cloth are in loops, two end portions of the first reinforcing cloth are sewn to the first skin, and two end portions of the second reinforcing cloth are sewn to the second skin. Thus, the first reinforcing cloth and the second reinforcing cloth are sewn to the first skin and the second skin, respectively, in two-layer states.

A side airbag device with a base member for an inflator to be easily fixed thereto, and a method for manufacturing same is provided. The side airbag device includes: an airbag; an inflator configured to supply the airbag with gas; a base member configured to accommodate the airbag and the inflator, and to be fixed to a vehicle body; an outer covering member configured to cover at least a front side of the base member to form a front-facing interior surface; and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes an inflator fixing portion to which the inflator is fixed and a base member fixing portion which is located in a position different from a position of the inflator fixing portion and fixed to the base member. The base member includes, at a left or right side portion thereof, a bracket fixing portion to which the mounting bracket is fixed.

A side air bag device is described which is disposed in a space between a vehicle body and a back seat and for which rigidity of attachment to a vehicle body member is improved. The side air bag device provided between a vehicle body and a back seat includes: a base member including a base storage configured to store an air bag and an inflator and a base attachment portion attached to the vehicle body; and a retainer member configured to hold the base storage from a vehicle back side. The retainer member extends from a portion holding the base storage while being bent along the shape of the vehicle body. The retainer member is attached to the vehicle body together with the base attachment portion while being overlapped with the base attachment portion.

A side airbag device, provided between a vehicle body and rear seat, includes: a base member having upper and lower base attachment portions, attached to portions of the vehicle body, and a base storage portion that stores an airbag and inflator and is interposed between the base attachment portions in an up to down direction; and a retainer member adapted to hold the base storage portion from the vehicle body rear side. Upper and lower engagement recessed portions located at the retainer member center in the vehicle body width direction are arranged in the up to down direction to be engaged with engagement protruded portions provided at the vehicle body, which is located on the rear side. The base attachment portions are configured so that an imaginary surface passes them and extends in the front to back direction of the vehicle body to pass the upper engagement recessed portion.
