Abstract: Vehicular airbag system for a driver includes a steering column, a steering wheel assembly rotatably mounted to the steering column and including a core, and a plurality of airbags arranged in the core and configured to inflate outward from the core. The airbags are nested such that each airbag is configured to inflate within or over at least one other airbag. Activatable inflator systems are configured to inflate a respective airbag at a different speed of inflation. A control system is coupled to the inflator systems and controls activation of the inflator systems and thus inflation of the airbags. The inflator systems are configured such that one of the inflator systems configured to inflate an innermost airbag has a highest speed of inflation of the inflator systems and one of the inflator systems configured to inflate an outermost airbag has a lowest speed of inflation of the inflator system.

Abstract: A steering column device includes: an outer column having a tubular shape; an inner column movably inserted in the outer column; a restricting member provided through a tubular wall at a lower section of the outer column in such a way as to be capable of coming in and out of the tubular wall in the thickness direction thereof; and a load absorbing wire including first ends engageable with the restricting member and a second end supported on the inner column side, and configured to be deformed by movement of the second end toward the vehicle front side together with the inner column upon application of a load of a preset value or greater to the inner column toward the vehicle front side, to thereby absorb the load.
