A leg protection device for a vehicle occupant is disposed inside a seat-front member of a vehicle. The leg protection device includes an air bag having a rear panel and positioned along the seat-front member and a front panel facing the occupant when the air bag is inflated, and a gas generator for inflating the air bag. When the air bag is inflated, the air bag has a vertical length at a center portion of the front panel in the width direction longer than a vertical length at a center portion of the rear panel in the width direction to obtain a curved cross section.

An airbag constructing technology is provided that is useful for improving the protection of a driver upon the occurrence of a vehicle accident, and related techniques. The airbag apparatus to be mounted on an automotive two-wheeler has an airbag which is inflated in a driver-protecting area formed in front of the driver upon the occurrence of a front vehicle collision. This airbag has a tether connecting inner wall surfaces facing each other of the airbag. Inflation of the vehicle rear side wall of the airbag toward the driver is regulated via the tether. Inflation of the vehicle front side wall of the airbag toward the front vehicle is allowed. This tether is prepared by sewing first to third tether component pieces to each other sewn to the inner wall surface of the airbag.

An external airbag device is provided which can smoothly deploy its airbag with being caught by neither a rear edge of a hood nor a windshield wiper. A lid 8 is allowed to be displaced relative to a retainer 2 in the vertical direction because hooks 10 are movable in the vertical direction within apertures 16. When an airbag 4 is inflated, the lid 8 is lifted and is torn to open outwardly by the inflation pressure of the airbag 4 to create flaps 28, 30. The flap 28 which pivoted outwardly toward the front of the motor vehicle is laid on an outer surface of a rear edge portion of a hood 18. The flap 30 which pivoted outwardly toward the rear of the motor vehicle is laid on a cowl top 22 below the windshield 20 to cover windshield wipers 26.

An airbag is folded into a predetermined shape and is held by a shape-maintaining member or rubber strap to keep its shape. Both ends of the rubber strap are attached to the airbag by sewing portions. When the airbag is inflated with gas from an inflator, the rubber strap is detached, so that the airbag rapidly expands. In the airbag device with the shape-maintaining member, the shape of the folded airbag can be maintained, so that the airbag can be easily assembled.

An airbag apparatus having a retainer that can be employed with various embodiments of a horn switch that is turned on by the floating movement of a module cover. The apparatus includes an opening formed on a leg section of a module cover and a hook of a retainer, a predetermined gap is formed, thereby the module cover can be vertically moved. When the module cover is pressed, a horn switch is pressed so as to be turned on. Because a horn-switch supporting member is a separated part from the retainer, the retainer can be common to various models of the airbag apparatus having the module cover different in size and shape by changing only the horn-switch supporting member.

An air bag device is provided comprising an air bag, a retainer to which the air bag is mounted, a module cover covering the air bag, a protruding member protruding from the module cover towards the retainer, and a restricting member positioned along the outer side of the protruding member. The restricting member restricts displacement of the module cover during air bag inflation.

An airbag jacket having a good fitting performance of an expanded airbag for a body in the airbag jacket where the airbag is expanded along an outer surface of the body of the wearer. An airbag 2 is provided in a manner so as to cover a waistline and both shoulders of the wearer. An inside of the airbag 2 is partitioned into a plurality of cells 2a by means of that an inner panel 3 constituting a first surface on a wearer side of the airbag 2 and an outer panel 4 constituting a second surface on an opposite side to the wearer is partially stitched by means of a line-shaped stitching portion 6. Each of the cells 2a is formed to have a shape extending in a body height direction of the wearer. Thereby, the airbag 2 is brought to be expanded along an outer surface of a body portion of the wearer as a whole.

An image processing system adapted to image an area around a vehicle includes an image processor adapted to receive information indicative of an image of an area proximate to the vehicle automatically captured by an image capturing device. The image processor includes logic to analyze the information indicative of the image proximate to the vehicle and automatically determine whether the information indicative of the image of an area proximate to the vehicle is indicative of at least one predetermined environment. This image processing system can be utilized for crash prevention and crash recording. This image processing system can be utilized to identify an increased likelihood of crash and/or the occurrence of a crash and/or to implement crash avoidance and/or crash safety devices.
摘要:
A cover for an air bag device that enables an emblem to be secured to the cover in an extremely simple manner. The cover (module cover) has a recess for receiving the emblem. An extension of the emblem is extended through a hole in the cover. A distal end of the extension is bent along a rear side of the cover. A rib is pressed and welded by a thermal or ultrasonic welding element to form a welding body. The welding body covers the distal end of the extension.

A system of detecting an object existing at the periphery of a vehicle is provided that is effective in reducing repair cost for a vehicle. In one form, a protection system installed in a vehicle is adapted to detect an object existing at the periphery of the vehicle through a camera sensor, determine, based on the detected information, whether the object is a vulnerable road user (person), and change the operation mode of outside protection devices according to the body size of the vulnerable road user.
