An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. Gas is supplied to the airbag main body via a communication hole positioned at a seat rear side of the connecting portion of the front-rear chamber that has inflated and deployed. Owing to inflation and deployment of the front-rear chamber, the airbag main body passes through a gap between a ceiling of the vehicle and the head from the seat rear side toward the seat front side, and thereafter, inflates and deploys toward the seat rear side.

A vehicle seat includes a vehicle seat having a seatback. An airbag is inflatable from an uninflated position to an inflated position. A linear actuator is fixed to the seatback and the airbag. The airbag is moveable by the linear actuator from an undeployed position upwardly away from the seatback to a deployed position. The linear actuator supports the airbag on the seatback in the uninflated position and in the inflated position.

An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas during a vehicle collision, and that inflates and deploys from a rear side of a vehicle seat toward a front side via an upper side thereof. In an inflated and deployed state the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a front-rear direction via left and right sides of the head of a passenger, and an airbag body in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers, that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and that is compression deformed in a state supported by the pair of front-rear chambers during restraint of the passenger. The airbag is configured such that entry of at least the head of the passenger into gaps between the front-rear chambers and the airbag body is suppressed during a latter half of restraining the passenger.

There is provided a side airbag device for a rear seat, the side airbag including (i) a side airbag that is provided between a vehicle body and a side portion of a seatback of a rear seat, and at least a portion of the side airbag is disposed further toward a vehicle lower side than a top surface of an armrest, and the side airbag is expanded at a side of a passenger at a time of a collision, and (ii) an airbag door garnish that covers the side airbag from a vehicle cabin side, and that has a door portion that, due to inflation pressure of the side airbag, opens toward a vehicle front side and a vehicle transverse direction outer side and abuts the armrest.

A rear seat side airbag device includes: an airbag module that is placed between a side portion of a seat back of a rear seat and a body, the airbag including a side airbag that deploys at the side of an occupant at a time of a collision and an inflator that supplies a gas to the side airbag; and a case in which the airbag module is stored, the case being equipped with a bottom wall that supports, from a vehicle rear side, the side airbag in a deployed state, the case having a sloping surface that is formed at a lower portion of the bottom wall and slopes in a vehicle forward direction heading in a vehicle downward direction relative to a common portion of the bottom wall.

The invention relates to an inflatable airbag (1) for the protection of a person comprising a flexible sheath (10) which comprises at least two fingerlike extensions (11), wherein the flexible sheath (10) delimits a closed gas expansion chamber by the fingerlike extensions (11). The invention excels by the fact that the fingerlike extensions (11) are connected, especially stitched, glued or welded, to each other so that in an inflated state the airbag (1) takes a three-dimensional shape. The invention further relates to an airbag module, a vehicle occupant restraint system as well as vehicle parts comprising such airbag.

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 vehicle seat includes a seatback frame including a pair of side members extending vertically along either side thereof and providing a structural framework of a seatback, a plate member positioned behind the seatback frame and including an extension extending in an outboard direction from the side member located on an outboard side of the seatback frame, a mounting member connected to the outboard side member, and an airbag module positioned on a front side of the extension and connected to the outboard side member via the mounting member, a clearance being defined between the airbag module and the extension.

A motor vehicle, encompassing a body, a drive motor, in particular an internal combustion engine and/or an electric motor, a crash detection device, a computing unit, at least one front seat with a seat part and a back part, at least one rear seat with a seat part and a back part, at least one rearward displacement device for the at least partial rearward displacement of the at least one front seat during a pre-crash phase acquired by the crash detection device, wherein the seat part of the at least one rear seat has built into it a first means for lifting up the legs of an individual on the at least one rear seat during the pre-crash phase, and the back part of the at least one front seat has built into it a second means for the rearward movement of the legs of the individual on the at least one rear seat during the pre-crash phase.
