Slidable post for a vehicle
An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle roof and a vehicle floor spaced from the vehicle roof. The assembly includes a post elongated from the vehicle floor to the vehicle roof. The post being slidable along the vehicle roof and the vehicle floor in a vehicle-longitudinal direction. The assembly includes an airbag supported by the post.
Seat-centric airbag system with pelvis restraint chamber
Seat centric airbag restraint systems having pelvis restraint features, along with related methods. In some implementations, a first seat-mounted airbag cushion may be deployed along a first side of a vehicle occupant and a second seat-mounted airbag cushion may be deployed along a second side of the vehicle occupant. A first pelvis restraint chamber may be deployed below the first seat-mounted airbag cushion at an angle relative to the first seat-mounted airbag cushion and towards a first upper thigh of the vehicle occupant. The first pelvis restraint chamber may inhibit forward translation of the vehicle occupant within a vehicle seat by tensioning the pelvis region of the occupant.
Occupant restraint system for a vehicle seat including external tethering
An occupant restraint system for a seat of a vehicle includes at least a first airbag carried by the seat and deployable from the seat and at least a first tether mounted to the seat and deployable from a stowed position to a deployed position such that the first tether extends around a front facing side of the first airbag from a first lateral side of a seatback of the seat to a second lateral side of the seatback.

Rear seat airbag module and vehicle seat
A rear seat airbag module includes: an airbag; and an inflator configured to supply gas for expansion and deployment into the airbag. The rear seat airbag module is attached to a frame of a seat back of a vehicle seat, and is configured to expand and deploy the airbag to a seat rear side of the seat back. The rear seat airbag module is displaceable to the seat rear side or deformable to the seat rear side due to an easily deformable configuration, by being pressed by a back of an occupant seated on the vehicle seat, as a result of the back being sunk in the seat back due to an impact of a rear collision of a vehicle.

Mounting bracket for curtain airbag
An airbag module for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes a curtain airbag and a mounting bracket. The curtain airbag includes a mounting tab configured to receive a fastener for connecting the curtain airbag to the vehicle. The mounting bracket is configured to cooperate with the mounting tab to facilitate the connection of the curtain airbag to the vehicle via the fastener. The mounting bracket includes a generally planar body portion and a fastening structure that extends transversely from the body portion. The mounting tab includes overlying layers of material that help define a pocket configured to receive the mounting bracket. The mounting tab includes a first fastener opening configured to receive the fastening structure so that the fastening structure extends through the first fastener opening with the body portion positioned in the pocket. The fastening structure is configured for installation in the vehicle structure to initially support the airbag module in the vehicle. The airbag module further includes a fastener configured to extend through the mounting tab and the mounting bracket to connect the airbag module to the vehicle.
SIDE AIR BAG DEVICE
A side air bag device is described which is disposed in a space between a vehicle body and a back seat and for which rigidity of attachment to a vehicle body member is improved. The side air bag device provided between a vehicle body and a back seat includes: a base member including a base storage configured to store an air bag and an inflator and a base attachment portion attached to the vehicle body; and a retainer member configured to hold the base storage from a vehicle back side. The retainer member extends from a portion holding the base storage while being bent along the shape of the vehicle body. The retainer member is attached to the vehicle body together with the base attachment portion while being overlapped with the base attachment portion.
AIRBAG EQUIPPED WITH SUB-CHAMBER
An airbag equipped with a sub-chamber may include a main chamber expanding by being injected with gas in a collision, and a sub-chamber formed by folding a panel-shaped chamber to be combined with the main chamber and have self-supporting force, the sub-chamber assisting supporting force of the main chamber by expanding with the main chamber.
