A fastening apparatus for fastening a component to a carrier component includes a housing device having a receiving recess, at least one actuating element and at least one latching element for latching in a carrier component, and a pin device which can be arranged so as to be displaceable in the receiving recess of the housing device in an assembly direction and which has at least one movable pin arm with a pin latching structure for transmitting an assembly force, which acts in the assembly direction, to a rigid housing latching structure which is integrally formed on the housing device, in order preferably to arrange the fastening apparatus in an intermediate assembly position, wherein the housing latching structure is formed in a corresponding manner to the pin latching structure, and wherein the actuating element is designed to actuate the at least one pin arm.

An occupant protection system for protecting a vehicle occupant sitting in a seat includes a seatbelt that includes a lap belt for arresting the pelvis of the occupant, and an airbag disposed in the lap belt. The airbag is coupled to the lap belt in such a manner as to be movable relative to the lap belt in a left and right direction, and includes a main inflatable portion that is deployable in front of upper body of the occupant, and a positioning inflatable portion that protrudes from a lower end region of the main inflatable portion. The positioning inflatable portion includes a contact surface that contacts and is supported by an environmental member which is disposed in a circumference of the lap belt at airbag deployment, whereby helps align a center in the left and right direction of the main inflatable portion generally with that of the upper body.

A vehicle includes a floor and a seat supported by the floor. The seat is translatable relative to the floor along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. An airbag housing is supported by the floor and is disposed alongside the seat. The airbag housing is translatable relative to the floor along the longitudinal axis. An airbag is supported by the airbag housing. The airbag is inflatable to an inflated position that extends from the airbag housing away from the floor.

The invention relates to a marking object that can be placed on a vehicle child seat for adaptive actuation of an airbag, which is configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation and mark a position and/or orientation of the vehicle child seat in relation to a vehicle seat for an imaging sensor based on the reflection, in order to actuate the airbag depending on the position and/or orientation of the vehicle child seat, wherein the marking object is a Quick Response code, radar reflector, lidar reflector, or infrared reflector. The invention also relates to a vehicle child seat, a method for determining a position and/or orientation of a vehicle child seat in relation to a vehicle seat, and interior monitoring system, a computer program for adaptive actuation of an airbag and a computer readable data carrier.

A representative configuration of an airbag module including a folded or rolled airbag cushion, an inflator provided in the airbag cushion, and a case type housing for stowing the airbag cushion, wherein the housing is rectangular shaped in cross-sectional view and includes a first member forming at least one side wall of the rectangular shape, a second member that forms the remaining two or more side walls of the rectangular shape, and a rotational shaft connecting the first member and the second member enabling mutual relative rotation, and upon expansion and deployment of the airbag cushion, one of either the first member or second member rotates relative to the other around the rotational shaft causing the opening of an upper part of the case type housing to open up.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to reducing the likelihood of injury to a passenger in a collision. In one example, a computing device may determine that an impact between a vehicle and an object external to the vehicle is imminent. The computing device may determine a protection range for a vehicle's airbag based on characteristics of the passenger, including the passenger's seating location within the vehicle. An airbag extension system may position an airbag package, including the vehicle's airbag, such that the vehicle's airbag is within the protection range of the passenger's seating location.
