The disclosure relates to a front airbag for mounting on a vehicle roof, comprising an airbag mouth for filling an inflatable airbag volume with generator gas which in a mounted condition of the front airbag faces the vehicle roof, and comprising an airbag panel which defines a shape of the inflatable airbag volume and, in the mounted and inflated condition of the front airbag, includes a frontal impact surface for a vehicle occupant to be protected, wherein at a lateral edge of the frontal impact surface a support element protruding from the frontal impact surface toward the vehicle roof is provided for contacting and laterally stabilizing an occupant's head. Moreover, the disclosure also relates to a front airbag module and a vehicle comprising such front airbag.

A roof rail assembly for a motor vehicle having an open frame vehicle architecture includes a side air curtain fixedly coupled with a sports tube via a first fastener oriented at a first angle relative a horizontal transverse plane of the sports tube. A roof rail trim cover is coupled with the sports tube via a second fastener oriented at a second angle, wherein the first angle and the second angle are not parallel. A cover member depends from the roof rail trim cover and includes a plurality of parallel hinges integrally molded into the cover member. A releasable opening is disposed parallel to the plurality of parallel hinges. Activation of the side air curtain rotates the cover member about the plurality of parallel hinges to open the releasable opening to allow passage of side air curtain through an opening.

A vehicle includes an occupant seating area and a body side having a first pillar and a second pillar disposed vehicle-forward of the first pillar. An airbag is mounted to the first pillar and inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag includes a side lobe extending from the first pillar toward the second pillar in the inflated position. The airbag includes a front lobe extending cross-vehicle from the side lobe vehicle-forward of the occupant seating area in the inflated position.

A restraint system for helping to protect an occupant (60) of a vehicle (20) includes a first inflator (74) for providing inflation fluid at a first fluid pressure and a second inflator (76) for providing inflation fluid at a second fluid pressure greater than the first fluid pressure. An airbag (70) includes a stored condition within a roof (32) and is inflatable to a deployed condition extending into a cabin (40) and aligned with a seat (50) for the occupant (60). The airbag (70) includes a first portion (98) defining a first chamber (100) fluidly connected to the first inflator (74) and a second portion (102) defining a second chamber (104) fluidly connected to the second inflator (76) and fluidly isolated from the first chamber (100). The first portion (98) moves relative to the second portion (102) in response to occupant (60) penetration into the airbag (70).

An apparatus for connecting a curtain airbag to a vehicle includes a fabric mounting portion formed from or connected to the curtain airbag. The fabric mounting portion has a fastener retainer for retaining a fastener in the mounting portion during installation of the curtain airbag in the vehicle. The fastener retainer is formed from the mounting portion fabric and defined by one or more slots that extend through the mounting portion fabric, leaving the fastener retainer connected to the remainder of the mounting portion by one or more tabs. The mounting portion also has a retainer opening extending through the fastener retainer and sized to form an interference fit with the fastener so that the fastener retainer holds the fastener. The one or more tabs in combination with the one or more slots permits the fastener retainer to move relative to the remainder of the mounting portion.

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.

The one or more tabs in combination with the one or more slots permits the fastener retainer to move relative to the remainder of the mounting portion.

A roof airbag for a vehicle. The roof airbag includes: a main 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 when being operated; a sub cushion coupled to a side surface of the extended main cushion and unfolded outside the main cushion; and an inflator located at the roof panel of the vehicle and connected to the main cushion or the sub cushion, and configured to inject gas into the main cushion and the sub cushion to unfold the main cushion and the sub cushion.

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 vehicle occupant restraint system (10) comprises a front airbag (12) and an auxiliary airbag (30) both of which are assigned to a joint vehicle seat (22), wherein, prior to its deployment, the auxiliary airbag (30) is arranged in a roof region of the vehicle and, in the filled state, as a further front airbag extends ahead of a vehicle occupant (24) and between the front airbag (12) and the vehicle occupant (24) in the assigned vehicle seat (22) and bears against the front airbag (12).
