A side airbag may include: a bracket coupled to a side portion of a seat; a housing to which the bracket is coupled along the edge thereof through insert molding, and which has an internal housing space communicating with the outside through an opening formed on one side thereof; a cover formed as one body with the housing so as to close the opening, and having a tear line formed along the edge thereof; and a cushion housed in the housing space, and deployed to the outside through the opening by an inflation force while tearing the tear line, when gas is supplied thereto.

An air bag device has an air bag body, a retainer, a lid member. The retainer has an inner space and a flange portion. The lid member has a base portion and a door portion. An opening portion has a shape with a pair of opposite sides which are facing each other. A dimension in the parallel direction to the opposite side is larger than a dimension in the orthogonal direction to the opposite side. The flange portion has longer side portions and shorter side portions. The longer side portions are fixed on the lid member with a fastening and fixing member in a fastened and fixed portion. The shorter side portions are positioned at the lid member in an engaging portion. The engaging portion has an engaging member, and an engaging hole into which the engaging member is inserted and engaged.

A crash pad for a vehicle having an integrated airbag door and housing may include a main body including a crash pad core, and an airbag housing integrally formed at a center of the crash pad core defining a space for accommodation of an airbag cushion therein, and an airbag door integrally injection-molded with the main body selectively to open and close the space in the airbag housing, the molded airbag door disposed upright in a direction in which the molded airbag door may be discharged from a mold to open the airbag housing.

An assembly for a vehicle includes interior component and a panel rotatably connected to the interior component. The assembly includes an actuator designed to rotate the panel relative to the interior component. A sheet extends from the interior component to the panel. An airbag is supported by the interior component and is inflatable to an inflated position adjacent the sheet.

The invention relates to a covering assembly over the chute channel of an airbag comprising having an airbag through-opening, which is closed by an airbag flap and an, in particular sprayed-on, covering made of plastic and secured over the airbag flap, wherein the covering has at least one target break line at the edge of the airbag flap in order to enable the unfolding of the airbag cushion, and wherein the airbag flap is connected via a joining point to a flap support wall in a moulded manner, which is in contact with the inner side of the chute channel wall in a secured manner, wherein the inner-side end of the flap support wall is bent outwards with a V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section, and with this hook-shaped bent region, same is inserted in the plastic material of the chute channel wall or engages under the the lower end of the chute channel wall.

An assembly includes a housing having a sidewall defining a first slot and a second slot, the sidewall having a press plate between the first slot and the second slot, the press plate movable between an initial position and a deployed position. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the housing and inflatable from an uninflated position to an inflated position, the press plate being moveable from the initial position to the deployed position by inflation of the airbag from the uninflated position to the inflated position.

A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with a sports tube via a first fastener oriented at a first angle relative a horizontal transverse plane of the sports tube. A roof rail trim cover is coupled with the sports tube via a second fastener oriented at a second angle, wherein the first angle and the second angle are not parallel. A cover member depends from the roof rail trim cover and includes a plurality of parallel hinges integrally molded into the cover member. A releasable opening is disposed parallel to the plurality of parallel hinges. Activation of the side air curtain rotates the cover member about the plurality of parallel hinges to open the releasable opening to allow passage of side air curtain through an opening.

A safety device for a vehicle adapted to be arranged facing an airbag, the safety device including: a channel suitable for guiding the airbag, the channel delimiting a central opening for deployment of the airbag, a panel at least partially covering the central opening when the airbag is in an uninflated state, and a net having a first plane-portion being entrapped in the channel and a second plane-portion being entrapped in the panel. The net further includes a third portion extending between the first plane-portion and the second plane-portion, at least a part of the third-portion being entrapped in a receiving portion of the channel, wherein the receiving portion includes at least a portion of reduced thickness.

A restraint system (10) for helping to protect an occupant (60) of a vehicle (20) having a seat (50) for the occupant (60) includes a primary airbag (70) having a stored condition within a roof (32) and being inflatable to a deployed condition aligned with the seat (50). A support airbag (76) has a stored condition within the roof (32) and is inflatable to a deployed condition engaging the primary airbag (70).

A component for a vehicle interior configured to provide a moveable panel/door is disclosed. The component may comprise a structural substrate and a reinforcement for the panel at a hinge area. The reinforcement may comprise a stitch pattern to reinforce the hinge area during movement of the panel. The stitch pattern may comprise thread sewn into the structural substrate. The stitch pattern may be pressed into a surface of the structural substrate. The structural substrate may comprise a compression-formed component, a generally rigid fiber mat, or a fiber panel. The stitch pattern may be concealed at an exterior surface of the component by a cover. The component may comprise at least one of an instrument panel, a door panel, a trim panel, a trim component, etc. A vehicle interior/trim component comprising a structural substrate with a reinforcement to provide a door/opening for airbag deployment is also disclosed.
