    Abstract: A knee airbag having a first wall extending from an upper end and having a first outer surface serving as an impact surface being positioned opposite the knee-shin-area of an occupant to be protected when the airbag is fully deployed, and a second wall extending from a rear end adjacent or identical to the upper end of the first wall and having a second outer surface. The second wall comprises a first section, a second section and a groove section being positioned between the first section and the second section such that the second outer surface shows a groove. In order to make the knee airbag suitable for a vehicle that does not provide sufficient instrument panel surface to support it, the first wall and the first and second sections of the second wall enclose an angle between 20° and 80°, preferably between 30° and 60°.

    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: Problem: To effectively suppress movement toward a collision site of an occupant even when the occupant is seated only in the driver's seat.
    Resolution Means: a side airbag device 1 provided on a side surface portion on the center side in the width direction of the backrest SB of the seat s of one of the driver's seat Sd and the passenger seat Sn, and is provided with a cushion 2 that constrains movement of the occupant p toward a site where an impact is applied during a collision event. A portion of the inflator 3 is inserted into the cushion 2. The cushion 2 comprises a main chamber 2 a and a sub-chamber 2 b disposed on the base panel 4 b opposite the occupant side base panel 4 a of the main chamber 2 a that is seated by the occupant p seated in the driver seat Sd. Upon collision, when the occupant p seated in the driver's seat Sd moves toward the passenger seat side, the expanded sub-chamber 2 b interferes with the side support SS on the driver side of the passenger seat Sn, and the expanded main chamber 2 a is provided with the reaction force from the passenger seat Sn.
