  • Publication number: 20240123933
    Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas 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 thereof. 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 the head of a passenger, and an airbag body in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers, that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and that is compression deformed in a state supported by the pair of front-rear chambers during restraint of the passenger. The airbag is configured such that entry of at least the head of the passenger into gaps between the front-rear chambers and the airbag body is suppressed during a latter half of restraining the passenger.

  • Publication number: 20240123936
    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. Gas is supplied to the airbag main body via a communication hole positioned at a seat rear side of the connecting portion of the front-rear chamber that has inflated and deployed. Owing to inflation and deployment of the front-rear chamber, the airbag main body passes through a gap between a ceiling of the vehicle and the head from the seat rear side toward the seat front side, and thereafter, inflates and deploys toward the seat rear side.

  • Patent number: 11897484
    Abstract: A vehicle occupant assistance apparatus predicts acceleration occurring when a vehicle is traveling. When a make-up mode is activated, assistance information is notified before a predetermined value of the acceleration occurs, based on predicted values of the acceleration. Thus, since the assistance information is notified to an occupant before the vehicle shakes due to the predetermined value of the acceleration, assistance taking a shake of the vehicle into consideration can be rendered to the occupant who applies make-up when the vehicle is traveling.
