An occupant protection system includes a first airbag device, a second airbag device, and an airbag control processor. The first airbag device includes a first bag. The first bag is configured to be deployed along a side surface of a compartment of a vehicle upon a side impact of the vehicle. The second airbag device includes a second bag. The second bag includes a shoulder pressing part. The shoulder pressing part is configured to be deployed between a seat back and a shoulder, of an occupant, on an outer side in a vehicle width direction. The airbag control processor is configured to control deployment and non-deployment of the shoulder pressing part of the second airbag device in accordance with a state of the side impact of the vehicle.

A vehicle airbag system is proposed. The vehicle airbag system includes: a front airbag mounted to a portion of a vehicle in front of a passenger and configured to be unfolded toward a front of the passenger; an upper airbag mounted to a portion of the vehicle above the passenger and configured to be unfolded toward the front of the passenger; a seat detector configured to detect a seating posture of the passenger; and a controller configured to control unfolding of the front airbag or the upper airbag on the basis of the passenger's seating posture detected by the seat detector.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle pillar. The assembly includes a vehicle door adjacent the vehicle pillar. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the vehicle door. The airbag includes an upper portion inflatable upwardly and a lower portion inflatable downwardly. The assembly includes a pyrotechnic device supported by the vehicle pillar. The assembly includes a cable extending along the vehicle pillar from the pyrotechnic device and coupling the upper portion of the airbag to the pyrotechnic device.

A curtain airbag apparatus which can smoothly expand an airbag cushion even with a low gas ejection pressure of an inflator. A curtain airbag apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an outer cushion provided on an upper side of a pillar constituting a vehicle along a forward and backward direction of the vehicle to be expandable; a plurality of inner cushions which are fixed to an inner side of the outer cushion along the forward and backward direction of the vehicle to be spaced apart from each other and are independently expandable; and inflators disposed in the plurality of inner cushions, respectively, so as to eject gas into the inner cushions so that the inner cushions are expanded by generation of the gas.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body defines an occupant cabin. The vehicle body includes a ceiling above the occupant cabin and a floor below the occupant cabin. The vehicle includes a partition extending from the floor to the ceiling and dividing the occupant cabin into an officer compartment and a detainee compartment. The partition has a front surface facing the officer compartment and a rear surface facing the detainee compartment. An airbag is supported by the partition and is inflatable into the detainee compartment.

An assembly includes a first seat and a second seat spaced from the first seat. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the first seat. The airbag is inflatable to an inflated position between the seats. The airbag has a main chamber, a pair secondary chambers supported by the main chamber, and a tether releasably connected to the secondary chambers. The secondary chambers are maintained by the tether in an undeployed position relative to the main chamber and the secondary chambers are releasable by the tether to a deployed position in a cross-vehicle direction relative to the main chamber. The assembly includes a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to identify that an occupant is seated in the first seat, identify that an occupant is seated in the second seat and release the tether based on the identification of the occupants seated seats.

A seat airbag device for a vehicle is proposed. The seat airbag device for a vehicle includes: a main chamber located in a vehicle seat at a side portion of an occupant and configured to be deployed toward a front portion of the vehicle when gas is injected thereinto; a sub-chamber connected to a front end of the main chamber and configured to be deployed in a direction intersecting a deployment direction of the main chamber when the gas is injected thereinto; and an expansion portion expanded from the front end of the main chamber and connected to an upper portion or a lower portion of the sub-chamber.

The airbag device includes a first airbag cushion part and a second airbag cushion part installed on each side of a seat of a vehicle, a first active vent provided in the first airbag cushion part and a second active vent provided in the second airbag cushion part, and a controller that controls the first active vent or the second active vent to open and the other to close when the first airbag cushion part and the second airbag cushion part are expanded and deployed.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a seat having a seatback and a seat bottom. The seat bottom has a front end spaced from the seatback. The assembly includes a front airbag elongated along the front end of the seat bottom. A first side airbag is elongated in a direction from the seatback to the front end. A second side airbag is elongated in a direction from the seatback to the front end. The second side airbag is spaced cross-seat from the first side airbag. The assembly includes a controller. The controller is programmed to inflate the first side airbag and the second side airbag in response to at least detection of a vehicle impact. The controller is programmed to selectively inflate the front airbag in response to at least detection of the vehicle impact and detection of a non-human animal occupant on the seat.

A system includes a body structure, an assembly that is connected to the body structure, an airbag assembly that includes a housing that is located behind a first portion of the body structure and a deployable structure. The deployable structure is located in the housing in a stowed position and extends outward relative to the housing in an inflated position. The deployable structure includes a main chamber that is located adjacent to the seat assembly in the inflated position, and a reaction chamber that is spaced from the seat assembly by the main chamber in the inflated position. The deployable structure is configured so that forces that are applied to the main chamber of the deployable structure in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle cause the reaction chamber to move in a lateral direction so that the reaction chamber engages the body structure.
