    Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion, a seat back having a side support, a frame sidewall in the side support, and a side airbag device. The side airbag device has an airbag in the side support, and an inflator for supplying a gas to the airbag. The airbag has a first chamber to be deployed toward a vehicle front side, a second chamber, and an inner vent hole at a partition between the first and second chambers. The second chamber starts to be deployed prior to the deployment of the first chamber. The gas flows from the second chamber to the first chamber via the inner vent hole. When the second chamber is deployed, at least one of an upper region or a lower region of the second chamber protrudes toward the vehicle front side than a middle region of the second chamber.

    Abstract: A device for removably mounting an airbag module includes at least two hooks connected to one of the airbag module or the steering wheel. The hooks cooperate with insertion elements located on the other of the airbag module or the steering wheel. A resilient ring forms elements for holding the hooks in zones of interaction. The resilient ring includes: first portions that extend in the interaction zones, and a second portion. The mounting device further includes elements for guiding the resilient ring that cause displacement of the first portions out of the zones of interaction, during displacement of the second portion in a direction away from an axis of rotation of the steering wheel.

    Abstract: [Problem]
    To provide a driver's side airbag device where an internal diffuser and an airbag cushion can be stitched so as to be able to promptly break.
    [Resolution]
    A driver's side airbag device 100 is provided with a diffuser 124 that is contained in an airbag cushion 104 and straightens gas flow from an inflator 112. The diffuser 124 has a connecting part 136 that is connected to the inflator 112 and one or a plurality of supply ports that supply gas received from the inflator 112 into the airbag cushion 104. The supply ports include a passenger side supply port 148 that overlaps at a predetermined location of the occupant side panel 120 of the airbag cushion 104 with the diffuser 124 contained therein. The driver's side airbag device 100 is further provided with a temporary stitched part 150 that breakably stitches the diffuser 124 and a predetermined portion of the occupant side panel 120 of the airbag cushion 104 across the occupant side supply opening 148 of the diffuser 124.
