Abstract: The present invention is a side airbag device stowed in a side support part of a vehicle seat, which includes: an airbag capable of expanding and deploying toward a front side from the side support part; an inflator that supplies expansion gas to the airbag; and a bracket that retains the airbag in a compressed state. The inflator is secured to an inner side (occupant side) of a side frame of the vehicle seat. Furthermore, the bracket has a rear region that covers a rear side of the airbag in a compressed state and an inner region that extends continuously forward from the rear region between an inner side of the airbag and a seat pad.

Abstract: A seat belt retractor which is mounted in a mounting space formed on a backrest of a seat installed in a vehicle and comprises a spindle module including webbing and a spindle having the webbing wound on the outer surface thereof, wherein the spindle is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle corresponding to the thickness direction of the backrest in the mounting space, such that by rotating the direction in which the spindle, on which the webbing is wound, is installed, the width in the longitudinal direction mounted on the backrest of the seat can be minimized, thereby making the retractor more slender.

Abstract: A decoupling module for two releasably interconnected components may have a module housing with a first coupling interface for one of the components and with a hollow space. The module may also have a locking unit which is mounted axially movably in the module housing and, in an initial state, protrudes at least partially from the module housing to lock the two components releasably to each other. The module may also have a drive unit which on the other hand is arranged in a positionally fixed manner in the module housing. The locking unit and the drive unit are designed to interact in such a way that, upon triggering or firing of the drive unit, the locking unit can be acted upon or is acted upon abruptly and directly by a pressure surge propagating in the hollow space and moves into the module housing.

Abstract: The present invention is provided with an inflator arranged on the occupant side of the side frame positioned on the side portion inside the seatback that generates expansion gas and an airbag that is expanded by the expansion gas and protects an occupant seated on the vehicle seat. The airbag includes a main chamber that deploys toward the front of the seatback, and a pre-chamber that houses the inflator inside and is connected to the occupant side of the main chamber. In addition, an internal tether having a front end part connected to the front portion of the pre-chamber and a rear end part connected to the rear portion of the pre-chamber are provided inside the pre-chamber.

Abstract: An airbag device has a first side cushion that expands forward to cover one side of an occupant seated in the seat of the vehicle, a second side cushion that expands forward to cover the other side of the occupant, at least one inflator that injects gas to inflate the first side cushion and the second side cushion, and a connection that connects the first side cushion and the second side cushion. The connecting part is deployed so as to pass through the rear surface region between the seat 1 and the occupant above the seat surface of the seat in the fully expanded state when the expansion and deployment of each side cushion and is complete, and is held in place by the occupant, pulling each side cushion and inward.

Abstract: An airbag device that is stowed in the instrument panel of a vehicle in order to protect an occupant in a passenger seat and includes an inflator for generating expansion gas along with an airbag that inflates and deploys toward the occupant side via gas released from the inflator. The airbag is connected to the inflator and includes a main chamber positioned in front of the occupant properly seated during deployment and a sub chamber connected to at least one side of the main chamber. An inner vent through which gas flows, is formed at a boundary portion of the main chamber and the sub chamber. Furthermore, a check valve for opening and closing the inner vent is provided.

Abstract: A steering wheel, including a cover, a safety airbag, and a frame, the safety airbag being accommodated in a space defined by the cover and the frame and being fixedly mounted on the frame, and the cover being connected to the frame in a suspended manner. The cover is a unitary structure, and is divided into a first functional region, a second functional region, and a third functional region. Surfaces of the first functional region and the third functional region are both provided with a touch film. At least three non-collinear force sensors are further provided in the space. Some of the force sensors are arranged to be opposite the first functional region, and the rest are arranged to be opposite the third functional region. A controller is further included. Also provided is a method for enabling a preset function in a vehicle by using a steering wheel.
