Abstract: A curtain airbag for a vehicle includes a main chamber shaped in such a way that, in the position being mounted on the vehicle, in the inflated state the main chamber covers an inner side structure of the vehicle. The curtain airbag further includes an additional chamber which, in the mounting position, is located on the in driving direction of the vehicle front portion of the main chamber, and deploys in the direction of the interior of the vehicle when the curtain airbag is inflated. An extended section connects the additional chamber and the main chamber at a rim section at the same side and limits movement of the additional chamber during the inflation process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle pedestrian protection airbag arrangement (7) comprising an airbag (9), a housing (8), an inflating device (10) and a lid (11), the airbag (9) being arranged to be inflated by the inflating device (10) in the case of a collision with a pedestrian when the airbag arrangement (7) is mounted in a vehicle (1). The lid (11) has a first side (11a), facing away from the housing (8) and a second side (11b), facing the housing (8) when the lid (11) is mounted against the housing (8). The housing has a front wall and a rear wall, in which housing the airbag is stored before inflation. The airbag arrangement (7) further comprises at least one attachment means (12a, 12b, 13a, 13b) running between the lid (11) and at least one other part (8, 9) comprised in the airbag arrangement (7). When the airbag (9) is inflated, it is at least partly positioned between the lid (11) and the housing (8).

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat frame, a first air-bag unit and a second air-bag unit. The seat frame is at least partially covered by a padding material and substantially covered by a cover. The first air-bag unit includes a first air-bag mounted within an outboard side of the seat, and substantially covered by the cover. The second air-bag unit includes a second air-bag mounted within the outboard side of the seat and substantially covered by the cover. The first air-bag is configured to inflate and burst through the cover, when activated, and to bear against an occupant of the seat sitting in a normal position in the seat, thereby exerting a pushing force against the occupant in an inboard direction. The second air-bag is configured to inflate and burst through the cover when activated, and to occupy a position between an occupant of the seat and an exterior side wall of the vehicle.

Abstract: An airbag system is disclosed comprising a gas generator and an airbag having at least two inflatable airbag regions. The airbag regions are attached to the gas generator by an interconnecting a T-shaped connecting piece having symmetrically opposed outlet stubs with differently sized outlet cross-sections for inflating the airbag regions. In order to neutralize the thrust of the system in case of accidental fire, several means for controlling the outlet cross-section on at least one of the outlet stubs are disclosed.

Abstract: Polychloroprene dispersions containing particles of urea derivatives having a particle size in the range of 10 to 400 nm, which can be used in adhesive compositions. The adhesive compositions can be used to provide substrates containing adhesive layers obtained from the compositions.

Abstract: A mounting element having an essentially rectangular base plate with four edges from which two first arms extend and face each other. The first arms have a first contact section a first distance from the base plate. At least two second arms also face each other, which exhibit a second contact section a second distance from the base plate which is greater than the first distance. At least the first arms extend to their first contact section from the base plate in such a way that their distance from each other increases. In order to achieve an improved retaining effect, one arm extends from each edge of the base plate so that the base plate and arms surround an inner space.
