Abstract: A seatbelt of a vehicle includes a buckle tilt mounting device for a tongue plate coupled with a seatbelt webbing restraining an occupant seated in a vehicle seat. The buckle tilt mounting device includes a buckle assembly having a buckle and a buckle cable, and further includes a pre-tensioner system having a housing, a driving member, and a pre-tensioner cable. When the pre-tensioner system is actuated at a time of a vehicle collision or at a time a vehicle collision is anticipated, the driving member retracts the pre-tensioner cable inside the housing such that the buckle assembly is rotatably moved and configured to reduce submarining load on the occupant.

Abstract: An airbag includes a first panel and a second panel. A first wing is formed with one of the first panel and the second panel, the first wing being coupled to the other of the first panel and the second panel. At least a second wing is formed with one of the first panel and the second panel, the second wing being coupled to the other of the first panel and the second panel. The airbag includes a first depth that extends from the first panel to the second panel proximate the first wing and the second wing when the airbag is in the deployed position and at least a second depth extending from the first panel to the second panel proximate the first base, wherein the second depth is less than the first depth.

Abstract: An airbag is configured to be coupled to a steering wheel of a motor vehicle. The airbag includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is coupled to the second panel to form a split at a bottom area of the airbag forming two or more legs. The two or more legs cooperate to reduce the thickness of the airbag in a lower region upon inflation of the airbag as compared with an upper region of the airbag which interacts with the head and upper torso of an occupant.

Abstract: An inflatable airbag system can be configured to be mounted to a frontal region of a vehicle. The inflatable airbag system includes an airbag base cushion and one or more pluralities of cushion portions. In response to a collision event, the base cushion and pluralities of cushion portions may transition from a compact state to a deployed and expanded state. The airbag may receive the head of a vehicle occupant. One or more inner cushion portions may deflate as they receive the head of the vehicle occupant. An outer plurality of cushion portions may be configured to maintain a fully expanded state as they receive the head of the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A driver airbag can be deployed from a steering wheel of a vehicle. The airbag can include a first inflatable chamber and a second inflatable chamber that can be deployed adjacent to the first inflatable chamber. The airbag can further include a one-way valve that controls inflation gas movement relative to at least the first inflatable chamber.

Abstract: The overhead airbag system includes an inflatable cushion and a fill tube. The inflatable cushion has a first and a second opening. The fill tube has an outlet and two open ends. The fill tube passes through the first and second openings. The outlet is positioned within the inflatable cushion and the two open ends are positioned outside the inflatable cushion. An inflation source is in fluid communication with both the open ends of the fill tube. Upon deployment, the inflation source generates inflation gas that passes through the fill tube and into the inflatable cushion through the outlet. During inflation, the fill tube expands to limit passage of inflation gas between the fill tube and the perimeter of the first and second openings. Following inflation, the fill tube at least partially separates from the perimeter of the first and second openings to enable inflation gas to exit the cushion.
