AIRBAG DEVICE AND PASSENGER PROTECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123935 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 the upper side of the seat. The airbag includes front-rear chambers, an airbag body, and rear tethers that restrain the passenger by pressing their shoulders from the upper side of the seat.
- Front-rear chambers extending in a front-rear direction
- Airbag body in communication with the chambers and positioned at the front side of the passenger
- Rear tethers attached to the airbag body and the seatback, restraining the passenger by pressing their shoulders
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various vehicle safety systems to protect passengers in the event of a collision.
Problems Solved
1. Enhanced passenger safety by providing effective restraint during impact. 2. Efficient deployment of the airbag from the seat rear side towards the front side.
Benefits
1. Improved protection for passengers in vehicles. 2. Enhanced safety features in vehicle seats.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Vehicle Safety System: Innovative Airbag Deployment Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to airbag deployment systems in vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Original Abstract Submitted
an airbag device including an airbag that inflates and deploys from a seat rear side of a vehicle seat toward a seat front side via a seat upper side. in an inflated and deployed state, the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a 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 seat 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. at a time of restraint of the passenger, the airbag body is pulled by the rear tethers obliquely rearward and downward such that the front-rear chambers press shoulders of the passenger from a seat upper side.
