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.

Abstract: To provide a motorcycle airbag device that contributes to the stabilization of the deployment behavior and the deployment posture of the airbag.
An airbag device mounted on a motorcycle having a gas generator that generates an expansion gas, where the airbag is expanded by the expansion gas, and by deploying in front of the occupant, restrains forward movement of the occupant. Furthermore, the airbag has a stepped portion that protrudes forward when deployed and is supported by a structural portion around the top of the handlebars of the motorcycle.

Abstract: An occupant protection device capable of suppressing the occurrence of submarining and ensuring initial waist restraint performance. An occupant protection device provided inside or below a seat cushion of a vehicle seat, provided with:



an airbag cushion capable of expanding and deploying to push up a seat surface of the seat cushion; and
an inflator that supplies gas for expansion and deployment into the interior space of the airbag cushion during a vehicle emergency. The airbag cushion includes an expansion and deployment part that expands and deploys by gas from the inflator, and an exhaust vent part protruding from the peripheral edge of the airbag cushion. The expanded and deployed airbag cushion is configured such that the exhaust vent opens and allows the internal space of the expansion and deployment part to communicate with the outside when a load acts on the expansion and deployment part.

Abstract: A steering wheel enabling support of an airbag module by distributing a load when the airbag activates to ensure prescribed deployment performance of the airbag without affecting the horn function. The steering wheel includes: a support unit that supports the airbag module a enabling the airbag module to move along the Z-axis direction relative to the core metal; and a horn mechanism having a movable contact provided on the airbag module and a fixed contact provided on the pin of the support unit. When in a horn non-operating state, a stopper is separated by a distance D2 in the Z-axis direction relative to the airbag module and the distance D2 is farther than the distance D1 of the movable contact and the fixed contact in the Z-axis direction.
