WIRE GUIDE FOR AIRBAG - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520433 titled 'WIRE GUIDE FOR AIRBAG

The abstract describes a wire guide for an airbag that includes a first connection portion connected to a wire harness, a second connection portion connected to a branch wire branching off from the wire harness, and an elastic portion connecting the first and second connection portions and provided to be elastically deformable. The wire guide is formed in a ‘∩’ shape and limits the installation route for the branch wire that transmits power and a control signal to a lighting emblem module on an airbag cover accommodating an airbag module.

• The wire guide for an airbag is designed with a unique ‘∩’ shape to efficiently route and manage wires within the airbag system.
• The elastic portion of the wire guide allows for flexibility and deformation, ensuring proper wire management without compromising functionality.
• By connecting to both the wire harness and branch wire, the wire guide ensures secure and reliable transmission of power and control signals to the lighting emblem module on the airbag cover.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for airbag systems in vehicles - Safety equipment manufacturers for airbag modules

Problems Solved: - Efficient wire management within airbag systems - Secure transmission of power and control signals to lighting emblem modules

Benefits: - Improved organization and routing of wires in airbag systems - Enhanced safety and functionality of airbag modules
