摘要： The present invention relates to a pelvic airbag. The pelvic airbag has a front panel and a rear panel that is attached to the front panel. The airbag is made of metal, plastic, or combinations of metal and plastic and is configured such that it may be retained in a vehicle door between the inner skin and the trim panel. The airbag is further constructed such that when it is in the uninflated configuration, the thickness of the airbag is between about 2 to about 25 millimeters. An attachment mechanism may also be attached to the airbag. The attachment mechanism is designed to attach the airbag to the vehicle door. Additionally, an inflator housing may be attached to the rear panel. The inflator housing houses an inflator that is designed to inflate the airbag in the event of an accident or crash.

摘要： The present invention provides a system and method for tethering that may be used to keep a cushion properly positioned for side impact protection, particularly in vehicles with limited space rearward of the cushion. A tethering assembly provides tension to keep the cushion in place. The tethering assembly may include a tether with first and second ends attached together such that the tether forms a loop. The first and/or second ends may also be attached to a lower portion of the cushion. Upper and lower anchors may be attached to a vehicle surface near the cushion to slidably retain the tether. When the cushion inflates, the first and second ends move downward. The lower anchor may be a locking mechanism that restricts withdrawal of the first end. During deployment and impact of a vehicle occupant with the cushion, the tensioning assembly exerts tension to keep the cushion in place.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供一种用于系绳的系统和方法，其可以用于保持适当地定位用于侧面碰撞保护的衬垫，特别是在垫子后方有限空间的车辆中。 束缚组件提供张力以将衬垫保持在适当位置。 束缚组件可以包括具有连接在一起的第一和第二端的系绳，使得系链形成环。 第一端和/或第二端也可以附接到衬垫的下部。 上部和下部锚固件可以附接到靠近垫子的车辆表面以可滑动地保持系绳。 当衬垫膨胀时，第一和第二端向下移动。 下锚定器可以是限制第一端的撤回的锁定机构。 在车辆乘员与衬垫的展开和冲击期间，张紧组件施加张力以将衬垫保持在适当位置。
