20090184500 | Airbag arrangement - An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag on a side of a backrest of a vehicle seat that when inflated first extends substantially in a direction of a vertical vehicle axis and then forward from a backrest in a direction of travel of the vehicle. The airbag includes at least one inflatable chamber extending substantially forward from the backrest in the direction of travel and that is assigned to a body region of a vehicle occupant to support the vehicle occupant in a side collision. The at least one chamber is extended by a section that extends forward in the direction of travel when the airbag is inflated so that the airbag supports the vehicle occupant if vehicle occupant moves obliquely forward in the direction of travel because the section intercepts the associated body region of the vehicle occupant. | 07-23-2009 |
20100001500 | Folded airbag for a motor vehicle - A folded airbag for a motor vehicle, which can be inflated in case of a crash, having a first rolled folding created by rolling up a first airbag section, and a second rolled folding created by rolling up a second airbag section. The spatial directions, along which the two airbag sections are rolled up to form a rolled folding are oriented at an angle to each other. | 01-07-2010 |
20100038889 | Airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system and a method for the production of an airbag module - An airbag arrangement includes an airbag with at least one inflatable chamber and a first opening; and a cover that at least partially covers the first opening of the airbag and that comprises a second opening. The first and second openings are designed such that the chamber of the airbag is accessible through the first and second openings. The first opening is designed in a first layer of an airbag material and the second opening is designed in a second layer of an airbag material. At least one part projects into the airbag through the first and the second opening, whereby the first and the second layer are restrained by the part projecting into the airbag in the area of the openings such that a section of the rim of the first and a section of the rim of the second opening rest closely against the part. | 02-18-2010 |
20100171291 | Airbag for a vehicle occupant restraining system - An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraining system is provided. The airbag comprising a first and a second inflatable area a shoulder area arranged between the first and the second area which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a shoulder and/or in an upper arm region of the vehicle occupant to be protected and has a lower thickness as the first and the second area determined in a direction vertical to the main plane of extension of the inflated airbag or comprises a recess in the airbag. The airbag is to be arranged in the vehicle such that in case of a side collision of the vehicle the shoulder and/or the upper arm region of the vehicle occupant strikes the shoulder area of the airbag. | 07-08-2010 |
20100171292 | Airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system and a method for protecting a vehicle occupant - An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraining system including at least one inflatable airbag and an inflating device. The airbag includes a first inflatable area which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a first body region of the vehicle occupant, and a second inflatable area, which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a second body region of the vehicle occupant. The first inflatable area has a larger thickness vertical to the main extension plane of the airbag than the second inflatable area. The inflating device and the airbag are designed for inflating the first inflatable area of the airbag to such a high internal pressure that during the impact of the occupant on the airbag a force is exerted onto the first body region of the vehicle occupant which sets the occupant into a tilting motion. | 07-08-2010 |
20100283229 | Vehicle seats for a motor vehicle - A vehicle seat of a motor vehicle is provided. The vehicle seat comprising a backrest which includes a middle part and at least one side bolster, a gas bag module with a folded gas bag, which is at least partly arranged in the side bolster, an adjusting element for adjusting a width of the backrest, which is at least partly arranged in the side bolster and is movable relative to the middle part, by means of which the position of the side bolster relative to the middle part can be varied, and a seat frame extending in the side bolster, which in the vehicle seat mounted in the motor vehicle is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. At least part of the folded gas bag is arranged before the seat frame with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. | 11-11-2010 |
20110272927 | AIRBAG FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN AIRBAG - An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system is provided. The airbag comprising a first and a second chamber, which can be inflated for the protection of a vehicle occupant; having an outflow element with an outflow duct via which the gas can flow out of the first chamber when the internal pressure in the first chamber exceeds the internal pressure in the second chamber and which can be compressed under the action of the internal pressure in the second chamber such that an outflow of gas out of the second chamber is counteracted, when the internal pressure in the first chamber is lower than the internal pressure in the second chamber, the outflow element has a two-layer material piece and the outflow duct is formed by folding in a portion of the material piece between the material layers of the material piece. | 11-10-2011 |
20120018986 | AIRBAG ARRANGEMENT FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN AIRBAG MODULE - An airbag arrangement includes an airbag with at least one inflatable chamber and a first opening; and a cover that at least partially covers the first opening of the airbag and that comprises a second opening. The first and second openings are designed such that the chamber of the airbag is accessible through the first and second openings. The first opening is designed in a first layer of an airbag material and the second opening is designed in a second layer of an airbag material. At least one part projects into the airbag through the first and the second opening, whereby the first and the second layer are restrained by the part projecting into the airbag in the area of the openings such that a section of the rim of the first and a section of the rim of the second opening rest closely against the part. | 01-26-2012 |
20120038136 | Airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system and method for producing a vehicle occupant restraint system - An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system of a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag comprising at least one first and one second layer of an airbag material, at least one inflatable chamber formed between the first and the second layer, which is inflatable for the protection of a vehicle occupant and at least one seam, by which the first and the second layer are connected with each other along at least a portion of their respective circumference. The airbag is deployed between a vehicle occupant and a vehicle side structure. The airbag is formed such that when the airbag is mounted in the vehicle and inflated, the seam extends along a plane which is oriented obliquely or transversely to a plane formed by the longitudinal and the height direction of the vehicle. | 02-16-2012 |
20120074676 | AIRBAG MODULE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An airbag module, in particular side airbag module, for a motor vehicle, is provided. The airbag module comprising a gas bag inflatable with gas to protect a person, a gas generator longitudinally extending along a direction of extension for releasing the gas required for inflating the gas bag, and a flat carrier for carrying the gas bag and the gas generator, wherein the carrier includes two legs which are connected with each other along the direction of extension and are located opposite each other transverse to the direction of extension, so that the carrier forms a receptacle open on three sides for the gas generator and the gas bag. The carrier comprises a flow-off region, through which gas emerging from at least one outflow opening of the gas generator can be flown off into an exterior space surrounding the airbag module. | 03-29-2012 |
