20120091697 | OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM - An occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle having a seat system configured to provide seating to an occupant positioned adjacent to a console having a top surface and configured to provide utility; which includes a cushion stored in the folded configuration and having an inflatable chamber configured to inflate adjacent to an occupant to provide impact restraint to the occupant; an inflator configured to provide gas to inflate the inflatable chamber of the cushion; wherein a bottom portion of the cushion deploys to a position below the top surface of the console and a top portion of the cushion deploys to a position above the top surface of the console; wherein, during occupant loading, a portion of cushion contacts the console to receive lateral support and to react the forces imparted into the cushion induced by the occupant impacting the cushion, wherein the lateral support impedes lateral displacement of the cushion providing additional restraint to the occupant. | 04-19-2012 |
20130076014 | SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG CUSHION - A side impact airbag cushion for mounting on a seat in a motor vehicle includes an occupant facing panel and a panel opposite the occupant facing panel, and a mounting portion mounted on the seat back. A cushion upper half portion is positioned near the occupant head, and a cushion lower half lower portion is positioned adjacent the occupant torso and has a central unfilled region surrounded by a tubular inflated ring that extends toward the occupant from the central unfilled region. The cushion upper half portion has a tubular inflated pillow region that extends toward the occupant further than the tubular inflated ring surrounding the central unfilled region, to thereby provide an enlarged pillow surface for supporting the occupant head. An upper tether attached to the cushion is shorter in length than the cushion so that the tether rotates the cushion upper half portion toward the occupant head. | 03-28-2013 |
20130079208 | METHOD FOR FOLDING AIRBAG CUSHION - A method is provided for folding an airbag cushion assembly having first and second opposed panels attached to a mounting bracket and sewn together at the panel peripheral edges, and upper and lower tethers attached to the mounting bracket and to the panel peripheral edges, said upper and lower tethers being shorter in length than the distance from the mounting bracket to the panel peripheral edges. The method includes laying the cushion assembly on a table with upper and lower tethers on the bottom and the panel peripheral edges folded underneath due to the tethers being shorter. A fold is made in the first and second panels but not the tethers, to shorten the first and second opposed panels and unfold the peripheral edges that had been folded underneath. Then the cushion is rolled and then folded to obtain a folded airbag cushion lying atop the mounting bracket. | 03-28-2013 |
20140103625 | PARACHUTE AIRBAG DIFFUSER - One variation may include a product including an airbag diffuser that may be elongated and may be constructed and arranged to provide a gas catcher constructed and arranged to maintain the diffuser in an extended position when hot gases from an inflator impinge on the gas catcher. | 04-17-2014 |

20110049852 | Airbag - An occupant side-impact protection apparatus for a motor vehicle comprising an inflatable cushion stored in a folded configuration and an inflator configured to provide gas to inflate the cushion. The cushion is configured to inflate to protect the occupant of a vehicle. The side-impact protection apparatus further includes a tether to provide tension to tailor the deployment trajectory of the cushion. The tether is coupled to the cushion at a first coupling location and a second coupling location and the distance along the tether from the first coupling location to the second coupling location is less than the distance along the cushion from the first coupling location to the second coupling location. | 03-03-2011 |
20120286499 | SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAG MODULE - A side curtain air bag module includes an inflatable cushion and an inflator. The inflatable cushion includes a first panel coupled to a second panel. The inflator is configured to inflate the inflatable cushion. The first panel and the second panel are joined generally continuously at a peripheral edge to form a first inflatable chamber. The first panel and the second panel are joined at a central location to form a second inflatable chamber that is in fluidic communication with the first inflatable chamber. In a stored configuration, the first inflatable chamber is rolled in an outboard direction, and the second inflatable chamber is rolled in an inboard direction generally around the first inflatable chamber. | 11-15-2012 |
20120286500 | SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAG MODULE - A side curtain air bag module for a motor vehicle includes an inflatable cushion, an inflator, and a tether. The inflatable cushion includes an inlet and an inflatable portion, the inflatable portion including an inboard layer and an outboard layer. The inflator is in fluidic communication with the inlet and is configured to inflate the inflatable cushion. The tether includes a first end coupled to the inflatable cushion at a first coupling location on an inboard side of the inflatable cushion. During inflation, the tether is configured to be in tension prior to an upper portion of the inboard layer being in tension, the upper portion of the inboard layer extending generally upward from the first coupling location. | 11-15-2012 |
20150014973 | AIRBAG MODULE INCLUDING AIRBAG WITH DIFFUSER - An airbag module includes an inflatable cushion, an inflator configured to provide inflation gas for inflating the cushion, and a diffuser for directing the inflation gas from the inflator into the airbag. The diffuser is tubular and includes a first opening at one end for connecting to the inflator. The diffuser includes second and third openings located at the other end of the diffuser so that inflation gas is distributed into the inflatable cushion in two different directions. | 01-15-2015 |
