AIRBAG DEVICE AND PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123934 titled 'AIRBAG DEVICE AND PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an airbag device for vehicle seats that inflates and deploys from the rear side of the seat towards the front side in the event of a collision. The airbag includes front-rear chambers, an airbag body, and rear tethers attached to the seatback.
- Airbag inflates and deploys from rear to front via upper side of the seat.
- Airbag includes front-rear chambers extending in seat front-rear direction.
- Airbag body is in communication with the front-rear chambers and is located at the front side of the passenger.
- Rear tethers are attached to the airbag body and the seatback of the vehicle seat.
- Rear tethers on the side door side are releasable after a collision.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various vehicle seats to enhance passenger safety during collisions.
Problems Solved
The airbag device helps reduce the impact of collisions on passengers by providing additional protection.
Benefits
- Improved safety for passengers in vehicles - Enhanced protection in the event of a collision - Releasable tethers for ease of use after a crash
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Passenger Safety with Rear-Deploying Airbag Devices"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing patents for airbag devices in vehicles, but the specific configuration of rear-deploying airbags with releasable tethers may be a novel feature.
Unanswered Questions
How does the airbag device differentiate between different types of collisions?
The patent application does not specify how the airbag device determines the severity of a collision to deploy the airbag accordingly.
What materials are used in the construction of the airbag device?
The patent application does not provide information on the specific materials used in the airbag device construction.
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 in communication 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 a pair of rear tethers including one-end portions attached to the airbag body and other-end portions attached to a seatback of the vehicle seat. at least a rear tether on a side door side is configured so as to be releasable after a collision of the vehicle.
