An airbag safety system is provided with two or more safety airbags which can be adjoined to protect the rider when a crash occurs. A stabilizing mechanism is used to cause the inflated airbags to adjoin each other so as to form a stable protection space between the vehicle and the adjoined airbags. The adjoined airbags are shaped to meet a rider's ergonomics, making sure the rider can be caped for head protection and can be protected within the space surrounded by the airbags from being thrown away off the vehicle and subject to serious injuries.

A laminate includes a fabric; and a thermoplastic film, wherein the thermoplastic film is a multilayer film including an adhesive layer including a thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a barrier layer that is bonded to the adhesive layer, and that has a melting point that is higher than a melting point of the adhesive layer, and that includes a polymer, and wherein the fabric includes a polyester, and the fabric has a fabric weight of 190 g/m.sup.2 or less.

A restraint system includes a first plate, a second plate rotatably coupled to the first plate and rotatable away from the first plate from an undeployed position to a deployed position, a panel connected to the first plate and to the second plate, and a pyrotechnic activator coupled to the second plate. The panel is flexible relative to the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the panel form a chamber having an interior volume. The pyrotechnic activator is arranged to, when discharged, rotate the second plate from the undeployed position toward the deployed position. One of the first plate or the second plate includes a vent hole in communication with the interior volume of the chamber.

A multilayer film is provided that includes a barrier layer, and an adhesive layer, which includes a maleic anhydride (MAH)-grafted polyolefin. The barrier layer has a melting point higher than the adhesive layer, and the melting point of the barrier layer is higher than 165° C. The multilayer film enables production of gas-tight multilayer laminates which exhibit a high peel resistance combined with a low weight and/or thickness. Further, a multilayer laminate and an inflatable airbag that include a fabric layer adhered to the multilayer film, as well as a method of its manufacturing are described.

The present disclosure provides advantageous hybrid knitted fabrics and composite materials including hybrid knitted fabrics, and improved systems/methods for utilizing and/or fabricating the hybrid knitted fabrics and composite materials. More particularly, the present disclosure provides layered composite materials including hybrid knitted fabrics, the layered composite materials advantageously configured for non-score deployable passenger airbag applications.

An airbag arrangement comprising a flap, which closes a passage opening for an airbag, a hinge section along a side of the flap, an chute wall, which is connected to the flap via the hinge section; and a material web, which is partially arranged in the flap and partially in the chute wall, and transverses the hinge section, wherein the material web is molded into the chute wall and is anchored in the material of the chute wall.

A shock-absorbing device for vehicles includes a supporting bar, and a gas generator and an airbag arranged on the supporting bar. The airbag includes an inflatable body with a first laminated foil wrapped longitudinally around the inflatable body and a second laminated foil wrapped transversely around the inflatable body. The first and second laminated foils are initially wrapped around the inflatable body in a temporary inflated state of the inflatable body so as to have a length in the respective longitudinal and transverse directions corresponding to the inflatable body in an activated state of the shock-absorbing device.

The present disclosure is directed to passenger restraint system, deployable upon detection of an imminent side impact vehicle collision. The restraint system contains both an inner inflatable portion and an outer rigid telescopic portion, resulting in a semi-rigid restraint system. The restraint system may be mounted to the outboard and/or inboard sides of a vehicle seat, to protect the passenger from forces from an intruding door structure (or vehicle structure) or from other passengers. Mounting the restraint system to the vehicle seat may limit the force load that is transferred from the vehicle to the occupant, compared to a restraint system mounted to the vehicle interior.

A laminate includes a fabric; and a thermoplastic film, wherein the thermoplastic film is a multilayer film including an adhesive layer including a thermoplastic polyester elastomer and a barrier layer that is bonded to the adhesive layer, and that has a melting point that is higher than a melting point of the adhesive layer, and that includes a polymer, and wherein the fabric includes a polyester, and the fabric has a fabric weight of 190 g/m.sup.2 or less.

To provide a multilayer composite for an airbag that has both scrub resistance and flexibility, the multilayer composite for an airbag includes a base fabric, and a multilayer film including an outer layer and an adhesive layer adhered to a surface of the base fabric in which a ratio Sdr1/Sdr2 is from 0.986 to 1.1, where Sdr1 is an interface deployment area ratio of a multilayer film side surface of the multilayer composite for an airbag and Sdr2 is an interface deployment area ratio of a base fabric side surface of the multilayer composite for an airbag.
