20120025502 | CURTAIN AIRBAG - A curtain airbag capable for preventing occupant ejection from a vehicle, particularly in the vicinity of a rearmost seat, while reducing the output required of an inflator associated with the airbag. The curtain airbag is stored at an upper position on a side surface portion of the occupant compartment of the vehicle, so as to be inflated and deployed along the side surface portion. The curtain airbag includes an inflation region and a wide portion in the form of non-inflatable cloth. The wide portion is attached to a rear edge portion of the inflation region and also attached to at least one point of the vehicle rearward of a front-side pillar, the front-side pillar being located forward of rearmost side window. The wide portion has a shape that allows it to be strained, by the inflated and deployed inflation region, into a generally planar configuration over an assumed strike area of the rearmost side window. | 02-02-2012 |
20130134694 | CURTAIN AIRBAG - A curtain airbag mitigating possible occupant ejection from a vehicle. The curtain airbag includes a serial main chamber that is capable of being inflated and deployed along a vehicle cabin side face; a delay chamber that is positioned at a front end section of the serial main chamber and that is inflated and deployed so as to overlap an A | 05-30-2013 |
20130341894 | CURTAIN AIRBAG - A curtain airbag capable of preventing a partial decrease in internal pressure to improve ejection prevention performance. The airbag includes: a main chamber, which inflates first; a delay chamber that is inflated with gas from the main chamber; a linear seam portion where front and back base fabrics are joined to partition the main chamber from the delay chamber; a planar seam portion formed at a lower end of the linear seam portion to define a non-inflation region in a range of the front and back base fabrics; and a gas inflow channel provided between the planar seam portion and the lower edge of the airbag to allow gas to flow from the main chamber into the delay chamber. The front and back base fabrics of the gas inflow channel sag upon completion of inflation and deployment to form a wrinkled portion that blocks or narrows the gas inflow channel. | 12-26-2013 |
20140035265 | CURTAIN AIRBAG DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A vehicle curtain airbag device capable of improving an occupant ejection preventing performance at an end of a vehicle in the longitudinal direction and providing an excellent impact absorbing function when receiving an occupant in a vehicle interior. A front strap is provided between a seam portion that divides a front chamber positioned at an end of a vehicle longitudinal direction from an adjacent main chamber, and a front pillar positioned at the end of the vehicle longitudinal direction so as to connect the seam portion to the front pillar, on an outer surface of the front chamber. A height position of a first connecting portion (P) between the front pillar and the front strap is set to be higher than a height position of a second connecting portion (Q) between the seam portion and the front strap. The front strap is set to be shorter than a length between the first connecting portion and a position to which the second connecting portion tries to move according to the inflation and deployment if the front strap is not present, and is stretched substantially linearly between the first and second connecting portions by the inflated and deployed front chamber. | 02-06-2014 |
20140054879 | CURTAIN AIRBAG DEVICE - A curtain airbag device that can be applied to a small-width pillar. The curtain airbag device is accommodated in a region extending from at least an A-pillar to an upper portion of a window frame, and includes an airbag that is deployed in a curtain form near a side window of a vehicle interior in order to protect an occupant; and a gas generator that supplies inflation gas to the airbag. The accommodated airbag is formed in a rod shape by being folded in a roll form. When the airbag is accommodated, the airbag is partially compressed toward the center of the airbag at a narrow portion where an installation area of the A-pillar is narrow, in order to partially decrease a diameter of the airbag. | 02-27-2014 |
20140367948 | CURTAIN AIRBAG - A curtain airbag housed in an upper part of a side surface portion in a vehicle interior and inflating and deploying along the side surface portion. The curtain airbag includes an end chamber at a front end portion of the curtain airbag that inflates when receiving an inflation and deployment gas. A strap is attached, at a leading end portion thereof, to a first attachment point P on a front pillar | 12-18-2014 |
20160001732 | Curtain Airbag - A curtain airbag capable of applying tension in a vertical direction to improve occupant ejection mitigation performance. The curtain airbag is housed in an upper portion of a side surface inside a vehicle cabin and deployed along the side surface. The curtain airbag includes: a main chamber having a protection area for the occupant, and receiving an inflation gas and being inflated along a side window of a vehicle; a first chamber that overlaps an upper edge of the side window of the vehicle, the first chamber extends by being deployed toward an upper side of the main chamber along the upper portion of the side surface inside the vehicle cabin. The main chamber includes a second chamber positioned in a below portion of the first chamber to overlap the vehicle beltline upon deployment. | 01-07-2016 |
20160107602 | Vehicular Curtain Air-Bag Device, and Mounting Structure for Same - A vehicular curtain airbag apparatus and an attachment structure configured not to interfere with a driver seat airbag and being able to appropriately provide occupant protection performance either in normal and small overlap collision modes, and the curtain airbag having a simple configuration. The apparatus includes a main chamber having a front end to be deployed and inflated at a position near a front pillar, and an additional chamber further toward a vehicle front side and to be deployed and inflated, and separated from the main chamber by a partition portion between the front pillar and an inflation area of a driver seat airbag. The additional chamber is folded back near the partition portion toward the vehicle interior and a rear of the vehicle to overlap the main chamber, and parts of a resultant overlapping portion corresponding to upper portions of the main and additional chambers or vicinities of the parts are coupled together to form a chamber coupling portion. | 04-21-2016 |

20130133678 | APPLICATOR - An applicator including an applying part of a liquid absorber impregnated with an application liquid. An indicator portion having a jagged configuration that varies in reflectance of light depending on the quantity of the application liquid in the liquid absorber is formed adjacent to the liquid absorber, and the formed area of the indicator portion of an application liquid feeder can be visually observed from the outside so that the quantity of the application liquid can be displayed by the reflected light of indicator portion. The applicator allows a visual check on whether the application liquid is full or less when the applicator is unused or when the application liquid is decreased after use, from the change of the reflectance of light in indicator. The applicator permits easy confirmation of the liquid quantity and can easily avoid liquid blobbing. | 05-30-2013 |
20140020702 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING HIGHLY LUMINOUS OR HIGHLY MASKING ORNAMENTATION OR MAKE-UP ON NAIL AND SKIN AND ORNAMENTATION SET OR MAKE-UP SET FOR PROVIDING ORNAMENTATION OR MAKE-UP THEREOF - A method for providing highly luminous or highly masking ornamentation or make-up on a nail and the skin, wherein an applicator filled with a coating liquid which contains at least water and an O/W type emulsion resin and which has tackiness even after drying is used to coat the coating liquid on a nail and the skin in the form of optional shapes and characters, and then the coated drawn lines are dried; a transfer foil is pressed to contact with the coated drawn lines endowed with tackiness; and the foil is peeled off, whereby highly luminous or highly masking drawn lines are transferred, or wherein coloring material powders are pressed to contact with the foregoing coated drawn lines endowed with tackiness without using a transfer foil, and the powders left outside the coated drawn lines are brushed off, whereby highly luminous or highly masking drawn lines are obtained. | 01-23-2014 |
