摘要： Inflatable devices principally for vehicle occupant protection are addressed. Included among the devices are curtains or other cushions (18) with braided portions (42) along their lower edges (30) designed to form semi-rigid members when deployed. Unlike commercially-available vehicle curtains, inflation occurs from the bottom (where the semi-rigid member is formed) upward. The devices additionally optionally may include inflatable nodes (46) within the curtains (18) or otherwise extending from the cushions.

摘要： The present invention is a tubular structure which inflates upon side or oblique vehicle impact to protect the occupants of a vehicle such as an automobile. The structure is mounted in its undeployed state along the periphery of the vehicle's side pillars and roof rail. The primary component of the present invention is a braided tube linked to a gas generator. When a side impact is detected, the gas generator is ignited, inflating the braided tube. As the braided tube inflates, the diameter of the tube increases and its length decreases. The tube then pulls out of its storage location and forms a taut, semi-rigid structural member across the vehicle's side window.

摘要： A dynamically deployed device (“DDD”) assembly comprising a DDD, an anchor, and a mechanical stop, a vehicle member, a tether, or any other device that stops the rotation of the anchor. The anchor can be pivotally fastened to and stowed inside a vehicle structure member, with a DDD cord fastened to the end of the DDD anchor opposite the pivot attachment point. Upon deployment, the inflating DDD pulls the DDD cord tight. The DDD cord in turn pulls the anchor down such that the anchor rotates around its pivot attachment point and comes to rest against the stop, member, tether, or other similar device that stops the rotation. In this secured, locked position, the anchor provides a DDD attachment point offset from the vehicle structure member to which the anchor is fastened. Embodiments of the anchor include a link or cam.
