    摘要: An airbag module including an inflator assembly and an airbag cushion. The inflator assembly has an inflator and at least one fastener for mounting the airbag module within a vehicle. The airbag cushion includes an inboard cushion sheet and an outboard cushion sheet having an outer periphery secured to an outer periphery of the inboard cushion sheet. The outboard cushion sheet defines an open mouth receiving the inflator assembly, and a first tether and a second tether extend between the outboard cushion sheet and the inboard cushion sheet on opposite sides of the open mouth. The first tether and the second tether divide the airbag cushion into a first airbag segment for cushioning a first seat occupant of a vehicle, a central segment containing the inflator assembly, and a second airbag segment for cushioning a second occupant of a vehicle seat occupant, and each of the first and second tethers define at least one inflation gas passage. Baffle flaps located adjacent the inflation gas passages defined by the tethers allow inflation gas to enter the first and second airbag segments from the central segment yet prevent inflation gas from exiting the first and second airbag segments through the inflation gas passages.

    摘要: Assembly is adapted to mount on an internal structural member of a vehicle seat, the seat having a seat body formed with a recess and having a trim cover formed with a frangible opening to said recess. The invention also includes a one-piece resilient plastic deployment door anchored on the structural member and curving over a folded, inflatable airbag cushion and inflator module to comprise a rounded surface smoothly overlayable by the seat trim cover. The door has a distal edge approximately alignable with the frangible access to assist in the opening of the frangible access during deployment of the airbag cushion.

    摘要: A side impact airbag module assembly adapted to mount on the exterior of the side of a seat back of an automobile seat back having an access opening and receiving means within a internal structural member. The side impact airbag module assembly includes an airbag module frame having a mounting flange adapted to extend through the access opening in the seat cover and having thereon self fasteners that secure the flange in the receiving means of the internal structural member of the seat. An airbag cushion and inflator assembly is secured to the frame, and an airbag module cover is also secured to the airbag module frame to conceal and protect the airbag cushion and inflator assembly and the airbag module frame. The airbag module is provided in one variation with depth limiters that prevent the mounting flange from being inserted too far into the receiving means, and clamp supports which further secure the mounting flange to the internal structural member. In another variation, the airbag module has two spaced apart mounting flanges.

    摘要: A floating, serviceable, horn blowing switch consists of a shoulder bolt and stud which in conjunction with an assembly retainer and lock nut hold an air bag module assembly to the steering wheel of an automotive vehicle. The horn switch assembly includes a pre-stressed compression spring and two concentric housings that are arranged to snap together. The housings act as an electrical insulator and house the compression spring and electrical contacts. Lead wires connect the electrical contacts to a power source and the horn mechanism. The electrical contact gap is governed by the vibration requirements of the vehicle and stiffness of the compression spring.

    摘要: The cover for an inflatable occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle contains a slot in the upper wall thereof into which a thin or membrane type switch assembly is inserted. The slot in the cover is positioned between a soft outer cover material (such as urethane, vinyl or polyester) and a solid reinforcement material (such as molded thermoplastic material). The solid reinforcement material provides for the slot into which to insert the switch and also for positioning and support of the switch, and in addition, for another slot through which electrical leads to the switch are inserted. The solid reinforcement material also provides for cover strength, as well as the cover rigidity that is required to provide a reaction surface for switch actuation.

    摘要: A novel safety restraint system especially well suited to protect occupants of a vehicle from lateral impact is described. One or more cushion portions are provided and installed to inflate between an occupant and a lateral surface, such as a door or side window. The cushion portions may be connected to an air source or to each other through the use of sail portions and supply tubes, which may be attached to the cushion portions by chemical bonding, adhesive bonding, sewing, RF welding, or any other suitable method. The cushion portions may have an interior coating of a urethane based substance, mated to a similar substance coating the exterior of a supply tube or sail portion. The cushion portions may then be RF welded to the sail portion or supply tube without restricting gas flow into the cushion portions. The sail portions and supply tubes are preferably fabricated from a material different from that used to form the cushion portions, so as to reduce the cost and weight of the safety restraint system.

    摘要: A cover and housing assembly for a module of a vehicle safety restraint system including a cover having a pairs of doors. Each of the doors has an upper edge and a lower edge, joined by a seam of frangible material. An extruded housing includes a pair of sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a free edge extending along a length thereof. A plurality of attachment segments are formed integrally with and spaced along a length of each of the doors, so as to form an open section between respective pairs of attachment segments. A plurality of attachment portions are formed integrally with and spaced along a length of each of the sidewalls so as to form a recessed section between respective pairs of attachment portions. Upon assembly of the cover and housing, each of the attachment segments of the doors is received within a respective recessed section of the housing and each of the attachment portions of the housing is received within a respective open section of the cover. Grooves in the attachment segments and portions are aligned to form a channel between each of the housing sidewalls and the pair of cover doors. An attachment rod extends through each channel to form a direct hinged connection between the sidewalls of the housing and the doors of the cover, upon deployment of the module, the doors separate along the frangible seam and pivot outwardly opening the housing, without causing material stress to the cover at the hinged connection.

    摘要: An airbag module and mounting. An inflator is received within the cushion, such that the cushion wraps around the back side of the inflator. The inflator includes an extending fastener, and possibly an extending tab. The inflator, or the tab, is partially retained by a receiving structure on the seat. The fastener extends through another section of the seat, such that securing the fastener secures the entire inflator. Additionally, since the cushion surrounds the inflator, the cushion is also secured. To maintain the cushion in the folded condition, a frangible wrap extends around the cushion and inflator. Upon inflation, the frangible wrap, and the seat covering, are torn by the expanding cushion to permit further expansion. This arrangement eliminates the need for a protective housing for the inflator and cushion. Other mounting arrangements are also provided.
