Abstract: A hanging lug for a safety airbag includes a first sewing piece, a second sewing piece, and a connecting piece. The first sewing piece and the second sewing piece are respectively provided at two ends of the connecting piece. The connecting piece is used for passing through a slit of a metal member. The connecting piece is folded in half after passing through the metal member. The first sewing piece and the second sewing piece are arranged in a staggered manner. Also provided is a safety airbag. The connecting piece is folded in half after passing through the metal member, and the first sewing piece and the second sewing piece are arranged in a staggered manner, thereby increasing the total sewing line length of the hanging lug, preventing an OPW from being damaged, reducing the number of sewn layers, and facilitating sewing operation.

Abstract: The present invention is an airbag device mounted on a steering wheel of a vehicle having a rim with a shape in which the distance from the center of rotation to the distance to the upper edges is shorter than to left and right edges, that includes a gas generator that generates an expansion gas and an airbag that expands and deploys toward the occupant due to the expansion gas. Furthermore, at the stage before the occupant comes into contact with the expanded and deployed airbag, the thickness (width) D1 of the upper end part of the airbag in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the steering wheel when the airbag is viewed from the side is configured to be larger than the thickness (width) D2 of the lower end part.

Abstract: A safety airbag, including: an air bag, having an inflated and stowed state; and a gas generator, used to inflate the air bag to the inflated state, wherein the air bag includes a body portion and a cut-out portion, the cut-out portion being formed as being cut out from the air bag, but still remaining integral with the body portion, and in the inflated state, the cut-out portion being oriented in a predetermined direction relative to the body portion via an orienting member. Using the cut-out portion to provide protection for the head of an occupant increases the utilization rate of a material for making an air bag. In addition, the height of the airbag curtain is relatively large only at the cut-out portion, and is relatively small at the remaining positions, thereby reducing the volume of the air bag.
