A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.

An in-seat airbag device, includes: an airbag main body having a front-rear chamber that, expands past one side of a head of a passenger toward a seat front side and is disposed at the one side of the head of the passenger, a left-right chamber that expands from a seat front side end portion of the front-rear chamber toward a seat width direction inner side and is disposed at a seat front side of a face of the passenger, and a distal end chamber that expands from a seat width direction inner side end portion of the left-right chamber toward a seat rear side and is disposed at another side of the head of the passenger, wherein the airbag main body is structured such that, in a state in which expansion is completed, the left-right chamber has a curved shape as seen in plan view.

A vehicular occupant restraining device, that includes: an inside air bag arranged on an inner side, in a vehicle width direction, of a side frame in a side section, the inside air bag receiving a gas supply from a second inflator, the inside air bag deploying by inflation in the side section earlier and at a higher pressure than a side air bag, and the inside air bag pressing a seated occupant to an inner side in the vehicle width direction. The inside air bag is configured so as to deploy by inflation in a region more to a vehicle upper side than a second-from-bottom rib of six ribs provided in a torso of an AM50 type international standard side collision dummy, in a state in which the dummy is seated in the vehicular seat.

An airbag includes a middle chamber having a front panel and first and second side panels spaced from each other and extending from the front panel. The airbag includes a first side chamber attached to the first side panel and a second side chamber attached to the second side panel, and a manifold chamber spaced from the front panel and attached to and in fluid communication with the middle chamber and the first and second side chambers.

An occupant restraint system 1 includes a seatbelt device 3 having a webbing 5 that is designed to extend obliquely across an occupant, seated on a seat, so as to pass through a shoulder part located on one side in a lateral direction and a part in front of a waist part located on the other side, and thereby to restrain an upper body of the occupant. The occupant restraint system 1 also includes an airbag device 4 having a bag body 10 that is installed on the webbing 5 in a folded state and designed to expand and deploy upon input of an impact load and thereby to restrain a periphery of a neck part of the occupant.

A system of air cushions to protect during impact, an occupant in a vehicle seat comprising elements for protection of the head and neck.

A protective device is provided to reduce an occurrence of injury in the case of a far-side side impact of a vehicle. The protective device has an airbag attached to a side of a seat closer to the center of the vehicle. The air bag has a first airbag element attached to the seat back to extend in the region of the thorax and a second airbag element attached to the seat frame to protect the pelvis in the case of the far side impact.
