There is provided a vehicle crash pad coupled to a passenger airbag door having a passenger airbag installed in a passenger seat direction, the vehicle crash pad including a base forming a frame, a scrim coupled to an inside of the base of the passenger airbag door in an insert-injection method, a skin disposed above the base portion and having a surface exposed to an outside, a foam disposed between the base and the skin, and X shaped incision grooves formed in a rear surface of the base in an area of the passenger airbag door.

A seat airbag for a vehicle includes a first cushion and a second cushion located at the upper end portion of a seatback and configured to be inflated upwards on opposite sides of an occupant sitting in a seat and subsequently to be bent downwards from an upper side of the occupant to cause an end portion of each of the first cushion and the second cushion to be located in front of the occupant. A third cushion is disposed between the first cushion and the second cushion to connect the first cushion and the second cushion to each other.

The invention relates to an airbag assembly comprising an airbag through-opening arranged over the chute channel of the airbag, which opening is closed by at least one airbag flap and an, in particular sprayed-on, covering made of plastic and secured over the airbag flap, wherein the covering has at least one target break line at the edge of the airbag flap in order to enable the unfolding of the airbag cushion, and wherein the airbag flap is connected via a joining point to a flap support wall in a moulded manner, which is in contact with the inner side of the chute channel wall in a secured manner, wherein am additional flat element is inserted (as a cover) in the chute channel between the airbag cushion and the airbag flap, which flat element at least partially overs the airbag flap and the inner side of the chute channel wall.

An assembly includes a front console having an outer surface and a pair of outboard ends spaced along an axis and defining a center therebetween. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the front console at one of the outboard ends and inflatable from an uninflated position elongated transverse to the axis to an inflated position extending along the outer surface toward the center.

A safety device for a vehicle, which includes a main armrest, an auxiliary armrest that obliquely extends from a front end portion of the main armrest toward the center of a seat, a first airbag chamber that is accommodated in the main armrest and that, when triggered to expand, expands upward along a lateral body of a vehicle occupant and thus laterally holds an arm of the vehicle occupant in place, a second airbag chamber that extends protrusively from an upper end portion of the first airbag chamber toward a neck of the vehicle occupant and thus holds a shoulder of the vehicle occupant in place, and a front-body abdominal chamber that is mounted in the auxiliary armrest and that, when triggered to expand, expands toward an abdomen of the vehicle occupant and thus holds a front body of the vehicle occupant in place.

A seat airbag for a vehicle includes a first cushion and a second cushion located at the upper end portion of a seatback and configured to be inflated upwards on opposite sides of an occupant sitting in a seat and subsequently to be bent downwards from an upper side of the occupant to cause an end portion of each of the first cushion and the second cushion to be located in front of the occupant. A third cushion is disposed between the first cushion and the second cushion to connect the first cushion and the second cushion to each other.

A vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag cushion. A reaction surface is configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position upon deployment of the airbag cushion, such that the reaction surfaces will direct the airbag cushion toward an occupant area upon deployment of the airbag cushion. Multiple embodiments of reaction surfaces are disclosed, including deployable instrument panel sections, flexible straps, and hoods.

A trim panel assembly includes a trim panel configured to be removably connected to a pillar of a vehicle body structure. A connecting member includes a first part connected to the trim panel and a second part configured to be connected to the pillar. The first part is configured to be separable from the second part. A fastening member is connected between the first and second parts of the connecting member to limit a separation distance of the trim panel when the first part separates from the second part.

An assembly includes a front console having an outer surface and a pair of outboard ends spaced along an axis and defining a center therebetween. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the front console at one of the outboard ends and inflatable from an uninflated position elongated transverse to the axis to an inflated position extending along the outer surface toward the center.

An instrument panel for a passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle comprises a molded plastic substrate and a skin covering the substrate. The substrate has inner and outer surfaces, and is adapted to be mounted in the passenger compartment adjacent a windshield. The inner surface is adapted to receive an air bag chute assembly for deploying an air bag. The inner surface is inscribed by a door groove defining a deployment door at least partially tearing open to expel the air bag. The outer surface is inscribed by a hinge groove following a chord path bisecting the outer surface of the deployment door and configured to bend in response to an edge of the deployment door impacting the windshield. The impact force against the windshield is reduced while stiffness of the door against the air bag remains high to facilitate tearing open of the door by the air bag.
