Abstract: An inflatable curtain device for protecting occupants in a motor vehicle includes an inflatable curtain adapted to be folded or rolled in an undeployed condition and inflated in a deployed condition, and the inflatable curtain is formed from at least a first and a second fabric layer. The inflatable curtain device further includes at least one portion of one of the first and second fabric layers having a permanent magnet region, which is magnetically attracted to at least one of a second region of the vehicle or a second region of one of the first and second fabric layers thereby provides a retention of the inflatable curtain in a folded or rolled configuration in an installation position with the vehicle and retains the inflatable curtain in the rolled or folded configuration.

Abstract: A surrounding inflatable airbag assembly configured to deploy for a seat back of a vehicle is disclosed. Inflatable airbag assemblies may provide protection for an occupant in a vehicle collision event. In a collision event, or other event producing forward and/or lateral movement of the occupant relative to the vehicle, the disclosed inflatable airbag assembly may receive and support the occupant during ride down so as to prevent or minimize injury resulting from impact with a vehicle structure disposed forward or lateral to a vehicle seating position. The disclosed airbag may deploy from the seat back including a head back portion. During deployment, a front portion of the airbag may extend up and over the head of the occupant and further extend forward and downward in front of the vehicle seating position.
