A vehicle seat includes a seatback defining an occupant seating area and an airbag mounted to the seatback. The airbag has a top chamber inflatable above the occupant seating area and elongated from the seatback in a seat-forward direction. The airbag has two side chambers inflatable downwardly from the top chamber on opposite sides of the occupant seating area. The top chamber has a plurality of tubular segments each elongated in the seat-forward direction and disposed in a cross-seat direction relative to each other.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a dash. The assembly includes a seat having a seatback and a head restraint extending upwardly from the seatback. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the seatback. The airbag is inflatable from the seatback toward the dash in a seat-rearward direction to an inflated position. The airbag includes an upper portion adjacent the head restraint and pair of lobes extending from the upper portion along the head restraint in a seat-forward direction in the inflated position. The head restraint is between the lobes in the inflated position.

A roof airbag apparatus for a vehicle in which an airbag deploys downward from the interior roof and protects occupants seated in seats and the airbag has a bending shape by a tether so that the restraint on occupants is secured and the occupants are safely protected.

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 the roof (32) and being inflatable to a deployed condition extending into the cabin (40) on a first side of the seat (50). A support airbag (76) has a stored condition within the roof (32) and is inflatable to a deployed condition on a second side of the seat (50) opposite the first side. Tethers (120) connect the primary airbag (70) and the support airbag (76) such that occupant (60) penetration into the primary airbag (70) pulls the support airbag (76) into engagement with the seat (50).

An assembly for a vehicle includes a first pillar and a second pillar spaced cross-vehicle from the first pillar. The assembly includes a crossbar movably supported by the first pillar and the second pillar. The crossbar is movable along the first pillar and the second pillar from a raised position to a lowered position. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the crossbar.

A vehicle includes an assembly having a middle console and a first airbag and second airbag each supported by and inflatable upwardly from the middle console to an inflated position. The first airbag and the second airbag each have a top distal to the middle console in the inflated position. A tether is external to the first airbag and the second airbag. The tether is connected to the top of the first airbag and the top of the second airbag.

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 apparatus for a vehicle and a method of controlling the operation thereof, includes side cushions deployed from the seatback, front cushions configured to be deployed from the side cushions, and inflators for the side cushions and inflators for the front cushions. The deployment operation of the side cushions and the deployment operation of the front cushions are respectively controlled depending on a normal seating mode and a relax mode of an occupant and a side collision and a front collision of the vehicle.

An airbag device equipped in a vehicle seat. The vehicle seat has a structure in which a seat frame is arranged with left and right sides inside the seat back. The airbag device according to the present invention includes: an inflator that is secured to the side of the seat frame of the vehicle seat and an airbag that is stowed inside the seatbag [sic] in an elongated and compressed state and is expanded and deployed by the expansion gas discharged from the inflator. The airbag in the stowed state is arranged along the seat frame, and includes a lower portion area lower than the inflator and an upper portion area above the inflator. The lower portion area is arranged inside the seat frame, and the upper portion area is arranged outside the seat frame.

The present invention provides a roof airbag for a vehicle, the roof airbag including an airbag cushion mounted on a roof panel of a vehicle and configured to deploy downward from the roof panel to a location between front and rear passengers seated while facing one another, a front tether configured to surround an outer portion of the airbag cushion and having one end connected to a front side of the airbag cushion and the other end connected to the airbag cushion, and a rear tether configured to surround the outer portion of the airbag cushion and having one end connected to a rear side of the airbag cushion and the other end connected to the airbag cushion, in which the front and rear tethers surround the outer portion of the airbag cushion while intersecting each other.
