A roof airbag for a vehicle includes: an airbag cushion located at a roof panel of the vehicle and configured to be unfolded from a first side portion to a second side portion of the roof panel during an operation of the airbag cushion; a first seam portion extended in a direction intersected with an unfolded direction of the airbag cushion and allowing upper and lower surfaces of the airbag cushion to be in contact with each other; and an inflator coupled to the first side portion of the roof panel, and connected to the airbag cushion and configured to inject gas into the airbag cushion so as to allow the airbag cushion to be unfolded from the first side portion to the second side portion of the roof panel.

A roof airbag for a vehicle may include an inflator at a first end portion of a front and a rear end portions of a sunroof frame configured to discharge deployment gas when activated; a reinforcement member connecting a first and a second side of the sunroof frame at a position between the front and the rear end portions of the sunroof frame; and an airbag cushion at the first end portion of the front and the rear end portions of the sunroof frame in a folded state, and configured with a first chamber configured to cover from the first end portion of the front and the rear end portions of the sunroof frame to a position before reaching the reinforcement member and a second chamber configured to cover from the reinforcement member to the second end portion of the front and the rear end portions of the sunroof frame.

A passenger protection apparatus includes an inflator and an airbag. The inflator is configured to supply gas. The airbag is configured to deploy to surround a sitting position of a passenger by the gas supplied from the inflator. One end of the airbag is supported on an upper portion of a vehicle, and the other end of the airbag contacts an in-vehicle member and is supported by the in-vehicle member.

One general aspect includes a deployable containment system for a vehicle roof panel, the system including: a pair of guide channels proximate to an opening through the vehicle roof panel, each guide channel of the pair having a first end and a second end; a housing mounted to the first end of the pair of guide channels. The deployable containment system also includes a shield configured to deploy from the housing and travel along the pair of guide channels so as to cover at least a portion of the opening. The deployable containment system also includes an actuator disposed proximate to the pair of guide channels, the actuator configured to deploy the shield from the housing after a deployment event.

An active bolster for a vehicle is provided, wherein the bolster comprises an expansible hollow interior that is inflatable and is self-supporting in both an inflated and in an uninflated position. The bolster has an inflator module for inflating the expansible hollow interior. The bolster has an inner wall for projecting inwardly into the vehicle and away from the side of the vehicle on inflation of the expansible hollow interior. The bolster may have a relatively non-expansible component located between a first expansible chamber and a second expansible chamber. The bolster may comprise an outer wall having an attachment portion for attaching the outer wall to a portion of the side of the vehicle.

A system includes a roof and an airbag supported by the roof. The airbag is inflatable away from the roof to an inflated position. The airbag includes an apex adjacent to the roof. The airbag includes a first leg inflatable away from the apex to an end, and a second leg inflatable away from the apex to an end spaced from the end of the first leg. The airbag includes a bottom portion spaced from the apex and inflatable to the inflated position. The bottom portion extends from the end of the first leg to the end of the second leg.

A roof airbag apparatus may include: a gas injector configured to inject gas; a tether guide disposed along the longitudinal direction of a roof; a chamber part connected to the tether guide, and deployed by gas received from the gas injector; and a chamber moving part installed in the chamber part, and moving the chamber part while being pressed by the gas transferred to the chamber part.

The present invention relates to a deployment guide mechanism for a roof airbag device that enhances assembly performance and productivity of the product by improving an assembly structure of a guide wire and a spring. The present invention discloses a deployment guide mechanism including a guide wire fixed to one side of a roof portion and provided in the lengthwise direction in which the roof airbag deploys, a guide housing fixed to the other side of the roof portion, a stopper supported in the guide housing and coupled to an end of the guide wire in a threaded coupling structure, and an elastic member providing an elastic restoring force to the stopper in the lengthwise direction of the guide wire toward the other side of the roof portion.

In severe traffic accidents, crumpling the front of the car causes the passenger's leg get stuck between the seat and the car's dashboard. In this article, the condition of the seat and occupant safety sack is checked, which keeps the passenger in place, in heavy crashes, then raises the occupant's knee, and pulls the front seats back as far as possible.

An assembly includes a seat. The assembly includes a housing. The assembly includes an airbag inflatable to an inflated position having a first inflatable leg and a second inflatable leg extending from the housing, and an inflatable member extending from the first inflatable leg to the second inflatable leg. The assembly includes a tether having a first end fixed to the first inflatable leg and a second end spaced from the first end and the airbag.
