Abstract: A vehicle airbag device includes an inflator, a bag shaped airbag cushion, and a rectifying member on the inside of the airbag cushion. The rectifying member includes a bottom surface part into which the inflator is inserted, a roof part that, when a rim of a steering wheel is likened to a dial of a clock, extends in a 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock direction on the clock when seen from a driver regularly seated in a driver seat with the steering wheel in a neutral position, and opening parts and formed in the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions. The roof part includes, when seen from a 9 o'clock direction, a top part that protrudes convexly toward a driver side, and ridge line parts and that extend in both the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock directions of the clock from the top part in an inverted arch shape.

Abstract: A folding table device (20) for a vehicle seat comprises a table top (22), an articulated arm (24), an articulation (26), an airbag (38) as well as an inflator (42) connected to the airbag (38) by means of which the airbag (38) is inflatable. The table top (22) can be adjusted via the articulation (26) including the articulated arm (24) about a pivot axis (S) from a rest position into a use position and from the use position into the rest position. Further, the airbag (38) and the inflator (42) are attached to the table top (22). Accordingly, the distance (a) of the center of gravity (54) of the inflator (42) from the pivot axis (S) is smaller than the distance (A) of the center of gravity (56) of the folded airbag (38) from the pivot axis (S). In addition, there is provided a vehicle comprising a vehicle seat and a folding table device (20) of this type.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a diffusor for a gas generator of an airbag module, comprising a substantially tubular base body with a longitudinal axis, a baffle cap axially connected to the base body at a first end of the diffusor and a connecting device configured at a second end of the diffusor opposite to the first end. At least one outflow opening is formed in an outer wall of the tubular base body such that gas can flow out of an interior of the diffusor substantially in parallel to a longitudinal axis in the direction of the first end and the second end from the diffusor. The baffle cap is free from an outflow opening. The disclosure further relates to a gas generator comprising such a diffusor, as well as an airbag module including such a gas generator. Moreover, a method for manufacturing the diffusor is also proved.

Abstract: A knee airbag module includes an inflatable knee airbag, an inflator for inflating the knee airbag, a housing for supporting the knee airbag and inflator, a cover for enclosing the knee airbag in the housing, and a deployment flap positioned beneath the cover. The housing includes an opening through which the knee airbag deploys. The deployment flap is connected to the housing and spans across at least a portion of the opening. The knee airbag has a width that extends laterally beyond the lateral extent of the housing when the airbag is deployed. The knee airbag also includes a central portion that spans the width of the housing when the knee airbag is deployed. The deployment flap is configured to initially inhibit deployment of the central portion of the knee airbag while remaining portions of the knee airbag initially deploy. The deployment flap is configured to thereafter rupture and permit deployment of the central portion.

Abstract: Actuator housings for airbag modules and related assemblies. In some embodiments, an airbag assembly may comprise an electrically conductive piece and an electro-explosive device coupled with the electrically conductive piece and positioned adjacent to the electrically conductive piece. The assembly may further comprise a housing for the electro-explosive device. The housing may be at least partially defined by a conductive plastic material having an electrical conductivity less than that of the electrically conductive piece.
