Patent number: 11351950Abstract: A vehicle seat for supporting an occupant in a sitting position includes a backrest, and an airbag unit. The airbag unit comprises an inflatable airbag provided in an initially rolled and/or folded airbag package, and an inflator actuable to direct inflating gas into the airbag to inflate the airbag into an inflated configuration. The airbag comprises a pair of inflatable chambers which are physically connected to one another via a connecting interface, and are fluidly isolated from one another.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Par Sandinge, Mikaela Hagg, Hanna Karlsson, Malin Leijer, Mats Berntsson, Kevin Wikstedt, Fredrik Kjell, Carl-Johan Svensson, Jules Houessou, Ola Henriksson

Patent number: 11338757Abstract: There is proposed a vehicle seat configured to support an occupant (401) in a sitting position, the seat comprising: a squab (27), a backrest (28), and an airbag unit. The airbag unit comprises an inflatable bag (1) and an inflator (34). The airbag comprises an inflatable chamber (8, 9; 208). The airbag further comprises an inflatable guide (2), connected to the inflator and the inflatable chamber. Upon actuation of said inflator, said inflatable guide is at least partially inflated before the inflatable chamber, thereby initially urging the inflatable chamber away from the backrest of the seat. The airbag is configured such that after the inflatable guide is at least partially inflated, the inflatable chamber inflates into a deployed position in which it defines an inflated shroud which extends over said sitting position and provides lateral protection to said occupant of the seat in said sitting position.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Mikaela Hagg, Malin Leijer, Mats Berntsson, Kevin Wikstedt, Par Sandinge, Fredrik Kjell, Jules Houessou, Carl-Johan Svensson, Hanna Karlsson, Ola Henriksson

Publication number: 20120267880Abstract: An airbag for a motor vehicle includes an airbag skin having two side walls which enclose a gas chamber. The airbag skin is at least partially rolled to a shaped package in the resting state of the curtain airbag, with the shaped package having a non-circular cross-section. In order to provide a cost-effective way to produce such an airbag and to ensure that the airbag shows a deployment behaviour of a rolled package, the non-circular cross-section is permanent as long as the pressure inside the gas chamber does not exceed the pressure of the environment and is obtainable by plastic conversion of a rolled package with a circular cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2010Publication date: October 25, 2012Applicant: AUTOLIV DEVELOPMENT ABInventors: Henrik Frisk, Börje Jacobsson, Ola Henriksson, Carl-Johan Svensson, Mats Berntsson, Fredrik Kjell, Stefan Andersson
