Abstract: An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraining system including at least one inflatable airbag and an inflating device. The airbag includes a first inflatable area which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a first body region of the vehicle occupant, and a second inflatable area, which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a second body region of the vehicle occupant. The first inflatable area has a larger thickness vertical to the main extension plane of the airbag than the second inflatable area. The inflating device and the airbag are designed for inflating the first inflatable area of the airbag to such a high internal pressure that during the impact of the occupant on the airbag a force is exerted onto the first body region of the vehicle occupant which sets the occupant into a tilting motion.

Abstract: An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraining system is provided. The airbag comprising a first and a second inflatable area a shoulder area arranged between the first and the second area which extends in the inflated status of the airbag in the area of a shoulder and/or in an upper arm region of the vehicle occupant to be protected and has a lower thickness as the first and the second area determined in a direction vertical to the main plane of extension of the inflated airbag or comprises a recess in the airbag. The airbag is to be arranged in the vehicle such that in case of a side collision of the vehicle the shoulder and/or the upper arm region of the vehicle occupant strikes the shoulder area of the airbag.

Abstract: The disclosed occupant protection device for a vehicle can include at least one airbag that protects a vehicle occupant in the event of a collision of the vehicle. The airbag can have an outflow opening through which the gas can exit the side airbag and/or has an overflow opening located inside the airbag. After the occupant protection device has been tripped, the side airbag can be inflated and be positioned laterally next to the vehicle occupant in such a manner that the outflow opening and/or the overflow opening is closed, is throttled, or remains open according to the body size of the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: An airbag arrangement includes an airbag with at least one inflatable chamber and a first opening; and a cover that at least partially covers the first opening of the airbag and that comprises a second opening. The first and second openings are designed such that the chamber of the airbag is accessible through the first and second openings. The first opening is designed in a first layer of an airbag material and the second opening is designed in a second layer of an airbag material. At least one part projects into the airbag through the first and the second opening, whereby the first and the second layer are restrained by the part projecting into the airbag in the area of the openings such that a section of the rim of the first and a section of the rim of the second opening rest closely against the part.

Abstract: A folded airbag for a motor vehicle, which can be inflated in case of a crash, having a first rolled folding created by rolling up a first airbag section, and a second rolled folding created by rolling up a second airbag section. The spatial directions, along which the two airbag sections are rolled up to form a rolled folding are oriented at an angle to each other.

Abstract: A housing for an airbag arrangement of a vehicle occupant protection device including at least two housing parts, each part including a side wall terminating in at least one connecting edge. The housing parts by way of the connecting edges lying contiguous with one another when the housing is closed. The housing also includes further comprises a passage opening for an electrical connection lead to be connected to a component of the airbag arrangement, said opening being formed in the side wall of one of the housing parts at an interval from the or each connecting edge. The housing includes an access opening, formed in the side wall of a housing part and running from the connecting edge to the passage opening, through which an electrical connection lead aligned at an angle to the side wall.

Abstract: An airbag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system includes an airbag on a side of a backrest of a vehicle seat that when inflated first extends substantially in a direction of a vertical vehicle axis and then forward from a backrest in a direction of travel of the vehicle. The airbag includes at least one inflatable chamber extending substantially forward from the backrest in the direction of travel and that is assigned to a body region of a vehicle occupant to support the vehicle occupant in a side collision. The at least one chamber is extended by a section that extends forward in the direction of travel when the airbag is inflated so that the airbag supports the vehicle occupant if vehicle occupant moves obliquely forward in the direction of travel because the section intercepts the associated body region of the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: An airbag for an airbag module of a motor vehicle, having an airbag sleeve which surrounds an interior of the airbag which is formed by at least two airbag parts which are connected to one another, and an insertion opening of the airbag sleeve through which an assembly of the airbag module which is to be arranged inside the airbag can be inserted into the interior of the airbag and which is formed by an interruption of the connection between the two airbag parts so that the two airbag parts each form one edge section of the insertion opening, and an assembly of the airbag module which is arranged in the interior of the airbag and can be inserted into the airbag through the insertion opening, in each case one clip protruding from each of the two edge sections of the insertion opening.

Abstract: The disclosed occupant protection device for a vehicle can comprising at least one airbag that protects a vehicle occupant in the event of a collision of the vehicle. The airbag can have an outflow opening through which the gas can exit the side airbag and/or has an overflow opening located inside the airbag. After the occupant protection device has been tripped, the side airbag can inflated and be positioned laterally next to the vehicle occupant in such a manner that the outflow opening and/or the overflow opening is closed, is throttled, or remains open according to the body size of the vehicle occupant.
