AIRBAG DEVICE AND PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242590 titled 'AIRBAG DEVICE AND PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an airbag device that inflates and deploys from the rear side of a vehicle seat towards the front side via an upper side during a collision. In its inflated state, the airbag includes front-rear chambers, an airbag body, and an auxiliary chamber for gas flow during passenger restraint.
- Front-rear chambers extend in a seat front-rear direction via left and right sides of the passenger's head.
- An airbag body is connected to the front-rear chambers and is located at the front side of the passenger between the chambers.
- An auxiliary chamber allows gas inside the airbag body to flow indirectly during passenger restraint.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in automotive safety systems to enhance passenger protection during collisions.
Problems Solved
1. Improved passenger safety during vehicle collisions. 2. Efficient deployment and inflation of airbags to reduce impact on passengers.
Benefits
1. Enhanced protection for passengers in the event of a crash. 2. Optimal deployment of airbags for maximum effectiveness.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Automotive Safety: Innovative Airbag Deployment System"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art related to airbag deployment systems in vehicles may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the auxiliary chamber improve gas flow during passenger restraint?
The auxiliary chamber indirectly allows gas inside the airbag body to flow, but the exact mechanism and benefits of this design aspect are not detailed in the abstract.
What materials are used in constructing the front-rear chambers and airbag body?
The patent application does not specify the materials used in the construction of the front-rear chambers and airbag body, which could impact the overall performance and durability of the airbag device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas generated by an inflator during a vehicle collision, and that inflates and deploys from a rear side of a vehicle seat toward a front side via an upper side. In an inflated and deployed state, the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a seat front-rear direction via left and right sides of a head of a passenger, an airbag body that is communicated with the pair of front-rear chambers and that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and an auxiliary chamber into which gas inside the airbag body flows indirectly at least during restraint of the passenger by the airbag body.
