  • Publication number: 20060113757
    Abstract: Systems for restraining movement of occupants within a vehicle are detailed. Such systems utilize vehicle headliners as parts thereof, with the headliners tensioned to help restrain passenger movement. The headliners may be connected directly or indirectly to inflatable structures typically positioned beneath the headliners. Thus, when the structures inflate, they may generate tension and tend to pull the headliners down from vehicle roofs toward vehicle sides.
