Patent number: 8764056Abstract: An airbag module for a motor vehicle includes an inflatable airbag cushion, an inflator, and a flow director. The inflatable airbag cushion includes one or more panels that form an inflatable portion. The inflator is configured to provide inflation gas for inflating the airbag cushion upon deployment. The flow director is configured to direct inflation gas into the inflatable portion. The inflatable portion includes a first inflatable region and a second inflatable region. The flow director is configured to direct the inflation gas directly into the first inflatable region. The first inflatable region and the second inflatable region are in fluidic communication, and a check valve permits the inflation gas to flow from the first inflatable region to the second inflatable region and prevents the inflation gas from flowing from the second inflatable region to the first inflatable region.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: TK Holdings Inc.Inventors: Pongdet Paul Wipasuramonton, Jonathan Lee Clarke, Jonathan Richard Kibat, Sara Amber Colburn

Patent number: 8408594Abstract: A seatbelt system for a vehicle includes a seatbelt anchor, a seatbelt connected to the seatbelt anchor, and an airbag mounted to the seatbelt anchor such that the airbag is provided separately from the seatbelt. The airbag may be a side airbag for a pelvic area of a vehicle occupant. The seatbelt system may deploy the airbag to a desired location in a short amount of time and in a precise manner with improved confidence that the airbag has been deployed to the desired location.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: TK Holdings Inc.Inventor: Jonathan Richard Kibat

Patent number: 8047564Abstract: An occupant side-impact protection apparatus for a motor vehicle comprising an inflatable cushion stored in a folded configuration and an inflator configured to provide gas to inflate the cushion. The cushion is configured to inflate to protect the occupant of a vehicle. The side-impact protection apparatus further includes a tether to provide tension to tailor the deployment trajectory of the cushion. The tether is coupled to the cushion at a first coupling location and a second coupling location and the distance along the tether from the first coupling location to the second coupling location is less than the distance along the cushion from the first coupling location to the second coupling location.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: TK Holdings Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Richard Kibat, Patrick James O'Leary, Richard Andrew Wiik
