OPW AIRBAG
The invention relates to an OPW (one piece woven) airbag comprising warp threads and weft threads which are woven into at least three woven fabric layers, a lower fabric layer (UG), an upper fabric layer (OG), and a central fabric layer (MG) arranged therebetween. The warp threads and weft threads of the central fabric layer (MG) protrude out of the central fabric layer (MG) and completely float between the lower fabric layer (UG) and the upper fabric layer (OG) in a first sub-region (ETB) of the OPW airbag and are integrated into the lower fabric layer (UG) or into the upper fabric layer (OG) in a second sub-region (ZTB) of the OPW airbag.
Side airbag assembly
A restraint system includes a seat defining a lateral axis and an airbag housing supported by the seat. The airbag housing includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is fixed relative to the seat, and the second arm is rotatable relative to the seat about a rotational axis generally parallel to the lateral axis. An airbag extends from the first arm to the second arm. The airbag is fixed to the first arm and the second arm.
Vehicle lap bar with airbag
A seat includes a seatback that defines a first axis extending between a top and a bottom of the seatback. The seatback defines a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The seat includes a lap bar supported by the seatback. The lap bar is translatable along the first axis and rotatable about the second axis. The seat includes an airbag supported by the lap bar.
VEHICLE LAP BAR WITH AIRBAG
A seat includes a seatback that defines a first axis extending between a top and a bottom of the seatback. The seatback defines a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The seat includes a lap bar supported by the seatback. The lap bar is translatable along the first axis and rotatable about the second axis. The seat includes an airbag supported by the lap bar.
Seat arrangement with dynamic seat positioning system
A seat arrangement for a vehicle includes a first seat including an airbag module having an inflatable airbag, and a second seat positionable adjacent to the first seat. The second seat includes a pivotable seatback that is pivotable between an upright use position and a forward pivoted position, and a movement mechanism associated with the seatback for moving the seatback from the use position to the pivoted position. The arrangement further includes a control system configured to actuate the movement mechanism to move the seatback of the second seat from the use position to the pivoted position when the second seat is unoccupied and upon detection of a potential vehicle impact, so that the airbag of the airbag module of the first seat may deploy between an occupant of the first seat and the seatback of the second seat.
VEHICLE AIRBAG
A vehicle includes a bulkhead. The vehicle includes an airbag supported by the bulkhead and inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag in the inflated position includes a main chamber and a pair of side chambers that extend transversely from the main chamber. The vehicle includes a seat having a seatback and a seat bottom that extends from the seatback in a direction away from the bulkhead. The seatback is between the side chambers in the inflated position.
Airbag device and manufacturing method thereof
An airbag cushion, which expands and deploys between adjacent seats in a passenger compartment, comprising a top panel and bottom panel that are separated and face each other vertically when deployed, side panels connecting the edges of the top panel and the bottom panel, a protruding part that protrudes upward from the top panel, a cylindrical inflator attached along the inner surface of the side panel on the side of the protruding part is stowed in a folded state by overlaying the top panel and the side panel provided with the attachment part of the inflator, and lining up a first roll part which is the protruding part rolled up, a fold-back part which is the first side part folded back to cover the attachment part of the inflator, and a second roll part on top of the top panel with the second roll part in the center.
Airbag module
An airbag module for protecting an occupant of a vehicle seat. The module includes an inflatable cushion and an inflator. The cushion is configured to inflate into a position inboard of the vehicle seat and includes a first inflatable chamber fluidly connected to a second inflatable chamber. The cushion is configured to inflate into a position in which the first inflatable chamber is in a position to absorb energy resulting from relative movement of the torso of the occupant in a direction lateral to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The second inflatable chamber is configured to inflate into a position to absorb energy resulting from relative movement of the head of the occupant.
SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
A restraint system includes a seat defining a lateral axis and an airbag housing supported by the seat. The airbag housing includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is fixed relative to the seat, and the second arm is rotatable relative to the seat about a rotational axis generally parallel to the lateral axis. An airbag extends from the first arm to the second arm. The airbag is fixed to the first arm and the second arm.
OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION FOR VEHICLE
An occupant crash protection includes: a seat-side airbag device configured to deploy a seat-side gas cushion portion between an aisle and an occupant sitting on a seat, the seat-side airbag device being placed around the seat on which the occupant sits; and a wall-side airbag device configured to deploy a wall-side gas cushion portion toward the seat-side gas cushion portion to be deployed from the seat side to the aisle, the wall-side airbag device being placed inside a vehicle cabin wall.
