摘要： A side impact head air bag (10) includes a plurality of spaced apart restraints (100, 102) for controlling the thickness of the air bag when inflated. In each restraint (100, 102), a circular stitching section (230, 260) joins an inner panel (70) and an outer panel (80) of the air bag (10). The stitching section (230, 260) defines a circular restraint section (200, 202) in each panel (70, 80). The stitching section (230, 260) blocks inflation fluid from flowing between the restraint sections (200, 202) of the restraints (100, 102). The tethers (100, 102) do not extend upon inflation of the air bag (10).

摘要： A pressure vessel (10) includes a tank (12) and a closure cap (14) for closing the tank (12). The closure cap (14) is a unitary part made entirely of a homogeneous material. The unitary part (14) includes a rupturable closure wall (20) which, when ruptured, permits fluid to flow outward from the tank (12). The closure wall (20) has an arcuate cross sectional shape. The unitary part (14) also functions as a conduit for directing fluid to flow outward from the closure wall (20) when the closure wall (20) is ruptured.

摘要： A side impact air bag module (10) includes an air bag (12) having a body portion (330) which is inflatable into a position between a vehicle occupant and a side structure (54) of the vehicle (40). The air bag (12) and an inflator (14) are secured to a base plate (18) which supports the inflator and the air bag on the vehicle (40). A chute (24) is connected with the base plate (18) for storing the air bag (12) in the chute and for guiding the air bag to inflate into a position between the vehicle occupant and the vehicle side structure (54). A neck portion (300) of the air bag (12) is connected with the base plate (18) at a location outside of the chute (24). The neck portion (300) at least partially encloses the inflator (14) and directs inflation fluid into the body portion (330) to inflate the body portion. The neck portion (300) is impermeable to the inflation fluid.

摘要： The present invention provides a new and useful housing structure for an inflator, particularly an inflator for a vehicle air bag system. The inflator housing has a wall with gas dispensing nozzles extending through it. The wall is (i) relatively thick in certain areas (e.g., the nozzle area), to provide adequate resistance to gas pressures and thrust forces applied to the housing during operation of the inflator, and (ii) relatively thin in certain other areas, to reduce the weight of the inflator. The housing is preferably constructed of a lightweight material (e.g., aluminum). The housing configuration of the present invention helps further reduce the weight of the inflator, while not unduly reducing the strength of the inflator to withstand the gas pressures and thrust forces applied to the housing during operation of the inflator.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种用于充气机，特别是用于车辆气囊系统的充气机的新型和有用的壳体结构。 充气机壳体具有壁，其中气体分配喷嘴延伸穿过其中。 墙壁（i）在某些区域（例如，喷嘴区域）中相对较厚，以在充气机运行期间提供足够的耐气体压力和施加到壳体的推力，以及（ii）在某些其他区域相对较薄， 以减轻充气机的重量。 壳体优选地由轻质材料（例如，铝）构成。 本发明的壳体构造有助于进一步降低充气机的重量，同时不会过度地降低充气机的强度，以承受在充气机运行期间施加到壳体的气体压力和推力。
