An automotive front seat overhead airbag includes a supporting air chamber and a protective air chamber mounted on a roof. The supporting air chamber is inflated from the roof towards a dashboard upon inflation. The protective air chamber is in communication with the supporting air chamber. After the supporting air chamber is inflated, the protective air chamber is inflated from the supporting air chamber towards the human body. A first protective space is reserved between the supporting air chamber and the protective air chamber on a side facing the human body. The first protective space corresponds to the head of the human body for protecting the head and neck of the human body. An automobile includes a roof and a dashboard, and further includes the automotive front seat overhead airbag described above. An upper end of the supporting air chamber is connected to a gas generator.

An airbag module according to various implementations includes an inflatable cushion, a folding tab, and an inflator. The inflatable cushion includes a first panel and a second panel, each of the first and second panels including an inner surface and an outer surface. When the outer surfaces of the first and second panels are coupled together to form an inverted seam, the folding tab is coupled between the respective outer surfaces of the first and second panels. As a result, the inflatable cushion includes an increased strength while maintaining an ease of assembly using current inflatable cushion folding machines.

An airbag cushion for a vehicle may include: a front panel disposed in a direction facing a passenger when the airbag cushion is inflated, and having a front sewed part formed along the edge thereof; and a rear panel coupled to the front panel so as to form a chamber therebetween, having a gas introduction hole to introduce gas into the chamber, and having a rear sewed part formed along the edge thereof, the rear sewed part being coupled to the front sewed part, wherein the rear sewed part has a curvature part formed in a curved shape at the portion coupled to the front sewed part.

A curtain airbag apparatus which can smoothly expand an airbag cushion even with a low gas ejection pressure of an inflator. A curtain airbag apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an outer cushion provided on an upper side of a pillar constituting a vehicle along a forward and backward direction of the vehicle to be expandable; a plurality of inner cushions which are fixed to an inner side of the outer cushion along the forward and backward direction of the vehicle to be spaced apart from each other and are independently expandable; and inflators disposed in the plurality of inner cushions, respectively, so as to eject gas into the inner cushions so that the inner cushions are expanded by generation of the gas.

A side airbag device for restraining an occupant at an early stage by changing a thickness of a chamber includes a cushion formed in a bag shape by combining an outer panel located at an outer side in a vehicle width direction and an inner panel located at an inner side in the vehicle width direction. A baffle spans between the outer panel and the inner panel in an inside of the cushion and partitions the inside of the cushion into a front chamber located at a vehicle front side and a rear chamber located at a vehicle rear side. An inflator is disposed in the rear chamber, and a first tether and a second tether extend from the baffle toward a vehicle rear. The tethers respectively extend from the baffle via both sides of the inflator in the vehicle width direction so as to be connected with a rear end of the cushion.

A side impact cushion device of a motor vehicle contains at least one impact cushion which can be inflated by a gas generator. The impact cushion in an installation state has an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion. In this case, the upper portion is arranged substantially horizontally in a deployed state, the central portion is formed in the form of a shell surface of a rotationally symmetrical, developable body, the lower portion can be supported on an upper side of an armrest and a rotational axis of the rotationally symmetrical body is oriented vertically in the deployed state.

The present invention discloses a multiple-chamber airbag structure where the airbag design has at least a stiff lower section to reduce the chest velocity and a soft upper section to meet the HIC requirements. Although stowed and deployed as a unitary airbag, the present invention includes separate chambers, which allows for independent gas inflation and stiffness control with venting.

An air bag cushion for a vehicle. A tether reinforcing fabric coupled to a tether seam portion of main cushion is used to allow the tether reinforcing fabric to inflate with the main cushion when the main cushion inflates, and the inflating tether reinforcing fabric forms an auxiliary chamber between the main cushion and the tether reinforcing fabric, and the auxiliary chamber of the tether reinforcing fabric supports the head of a passenger in a front passenger seat in the event of a crash, thereby preventing the rotation of the passenger’s head of the front passenger seat and by efficiently protecting the safety of the front passenger.

The present invention discloses a multiple-chamber airbag structure where the airbag design has at least a stiff lower section to reduce the chest velocity and a soft upper section to meet the HIC requirements. Although stowed and deployed as a unitary airbag, the present invention includes separate chambers, which allows for independent gas inflation and stiffness control with venting.

Provided are an airbag base cloth and an airbag including same, the airbag base cloth being a flexible and lightweight airbag fabric on which films are laminated, having good rubbing resistance after withstanding heat/wet heat, and providing excellent internal pressure retention within the airbag after sewing. The airbag base cloth according to the present invention is characterized in that at least one face of fabric is coated with a multilayer film having an adhesive layer, and the average value of the warp and weft slippage resistance in the base cloth is 350 N/2.5 cm or more.
