A trim panel assembly includes a trim panel configured to be removably connected to a pillar of a vehicle body structure. A connecting member includes a first part connected to the trim panel and a second part configured to be connected to the pillar. The first part is configured to be separable from the second part. A fastening member js connected between the first and second parts of the connecting member to limit a separation distance of the trim panel when the first part separates from the second part.

An airbag device includes an airbag, an airbag cover which covers the airbag, and a holder which holds the airbag and the airbag cover. The airbag cover includes a door portion which is pushed by the inflating airbag and opened with a hinge portion around a rotation center. A functional component is provided on the door portion and connected to and held by a deformable holding member. The holding member includes a distal side connecting portion connected to the functional component, a proximal side connecting portion connected to a part which can ensure an attachment strength, and a deformation portion which is provided between the distal and proximal side connecting portions and deformed to maintain a connection and holding state of the distal side connecting portion with the functional component and reduce a centrifugal force of the functional component acting on the hinge portion when the airbag is inflated.

An airbag is configured by six base materials of two side wall configuration panels, a projecting portion configuration panel, a front panel, and two rear panels. Each of the side wall configuration panels configure a left wall portion or a right wall portion facing each other on a side in a rightward-leftward direction in a main body inflation portion, and a projecting portion configuration portion configuring a projecting inflation portion is located in one of the side wall configuration panels. The front panel configures a region from an upper wall portion to a lower wall portion, which face each other on a side in an upward-downward direction in the main body inflation portion. Each of the rear panels configures a rear surface in the main body inflation portion when the main body inflation portion is completely inflated. The projecting portion configuration panel has an external shape substantially coincident with that of the projecting portion configuration portion. The projecting portion configuration panel and the rear panel on the projecting inflation portion side include a recess portion configuration portion configuring a restraining recess portion.

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seatback including a left lateral panel and a right lateral panel opposite the left lateral panel, a left airbag inflatable from the left lateral panel to an inflated position, a right airbag inflatable from the right lateral panel to an inflated position, and a tether extending from the left lateral panel to the right lateral panel. The tether is connected to the airbags.

The tether is connected to the airbags.

An airbag device attached to a vehicle body frame member and covered by a garnish is configured such that when a bag body is deployed, the airbag device pushes out the garnish to create a gap between the garnish and the vehicle body frame member to allow the bag body to be inflated out of the gap. A clip for securing the garnish to the vehicle body frame member includes a first member configured to be fixed to the vehicle body frame member, a second member configured to be fixed to the garnish, and a connecting member for keeping the first member and the second member connected when the airbag is deployed. The first member and the second member are provided with a first inclined planar surface and a second inclined planar surface, respectively, that are slidable relative to each other.

An occupant protection device for a motor vehicle, having an airbag deploying as a result of propellant gas pressurization and extending along a lateral roof rail connecting vehicle pillars of the vehicle body, and having a roof liner mounted on the vehicle body, wherein a storage space for the folded airbag is formed between the roof rail and the roof liner. Advantageously, the airbag and the roof liner extend at least into the region of a vehicle rear-side and/or a vehicle front-side vehicle pillar, wherein the roof liner is adjustably mounted on the vehicle body toward the vehicle interior at least in the region of the relevant vehicle pillar in such a way that in the region of this vehicle pillar, the roof liner opens up both a first exit region from the storage space toward the bottom of the vehicle and a second exit region from the storage space toward the top of the vehicle for the airbag deploying as a result of propellant gas pressurization.
