Abstract: A method for manufacturing a one-piece woven (OPW) air bag includes method for manufacturing an OPW airbag. The method includes providing yarns, warping the yarns on at least one beam of a loom, and simultaneously weaving yarns into a fabric air bag structure having two layer portions defining an inflatable volume and single layer portions forming seams delimiting the inflatable volume. A plurality of the yarns overlay one another to form nonwoven alignment elements in at least one of the single layer portions. The air bag structure is cut to define the OPW air bag. The alignment elements are aligned with alignment elements on a panel. The air bag structure is sewn to the panel with the alignment elements aligned with one another.

Abstract: A vehicle airbag apparatus includes an airbag, a front lid, and a tether. The airbag is configured to be disposed on a back side of an instrument panel, and configured to be expanded and developed between the instrument panel and a windshield glass so as to be disposed on a front side in a vehicle and in front of a vehicle occupant. The front lid is configured to be disposed on the instrument panel, and configured to be ruptured and opened by the expanded and developed airbag so as to stand on the front side in the vehicle and at a front end of the airbag. The tether is disposed on an outer part of the airbag and couples the front lid and the airbag, and configured to be elongated in a front-rear direction of the vehicle in a state where the airbag is expanded and developed.

Abstract: A system including an airbag assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The airbag assembly includes a housing supporting the airbag, an inflation device (“inflator”) in fluid communication with the airbag for inflating the airbag from an uninflated position to an inflated position, a tether fixed to the airbag that helps control the deployment and inflation of the airbag, and a tether lid configured to open in order to release the tether during deployment. The tether lid is installed in a pillar garnish of the vehicle, and is opened in response to the force of the tether as it is pulled by the deploying airbag.

Abstract: An airbag device attached to a vehicle body frame member and covered by a garnish is configured such that when a bag body is deployed, the airbag device pushes out the garnish to create a gap between the garnish and the vehicle body frame member to allow the bag body to be inflated out of the gap. The clip for securing the garnish to the vehicle body frame member includes a first member configured to be fixed to the vehicle body frame member, a second member configured to be fixed to the garnish, and a connecting member for keeping the first member and the second member connected when the airbag is deployed. The connecting member is tiltable with respect to the first member and the second member so that the movable range of the clip can be maximized without using flexible material for the connecting member.

Abstract: An occupant protection device for a motor vehicle, having an airbag deploying as a result of propellant gas pressurization and extending along a lateral roof rail connecting vehicle pillars of the vehicle body, and having a roof liner mounted on the vehicle body, wherein a storage space for the folded airbag is formed between the roof rail and the roof liner. Advantageously, the airbag and the roof liner extend at least into the region of a vehicle rear-side and/or a vehicle front-side vehicle pillar, wherein the roof liner is adjustably mounted on the vehicle body toward the vehicle interior at least in the region of the relevant vehicle pillar in such a way that in the region of this vehicle pillar, the roof liner opens up both a first exit region from the storage space toward the bottom of the vehicle and a second exit region from the storage space toward the top of the vehicle for the airbag deploying as a result of propellant gas pressurization.
