VEHICLE CENTER AIRBAG DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286572 titled 'VEHICLE CENTER AIRBAG DEVICE
The abstract describes a vehicle center airbag device that includes an inflator located at a vehicle seat, which ejects gas when actuated. The device also features a center airbag positioned on the inner side of a seatback at the vehicle width direction, inflating towards the inner side of an occupant due to the gas supply. An introduction path above the center airbag allows gas from the inflator to be introduced, with opening portions directing the gas towards the vehicle lower side.
- Inflator located at a vehicle seat ejects gas when actuated
- Center airbag deploys towards the inner side of an occupant seated in the vehicle seat
- Introduction path above the center airbag allows gas from the inflator to be introduced
- Opening portions in the introduction path direct gas towards the vehicle lower side
- Device enhances safety by providing additional protection to occupants in the event of a collision
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems - Car manufacturers looking to improve occupant protection - Transportation companies prioritizing passenger safety
