Abstract: An occupant protection system, which can easily be mounted to a seat, includes a seat pan placed between the front parts of the side frames of a seat, an airbag arranged above the seat pan, and a gas generator for inflating the airbag. The airbag extends along the width direction of the seat pan, opposite ends of the airbag being connected to the seat pan through anchors. The gas generator is arranged on the upper surface of the seat pan and is fixed to the seat pan with a bracket. The gas generator is connected to the airbag via a pipe.

Abstract: An occupant protection system in which an airbag module can easily be mounted to a seat is provided. A retainer is placed on the inner surface of the lower part of an airbag. Stud bolts projecting downward from the lower surface of the retainer are passed through bolt insertion holes of the airbag, to which first nuts are tightened from the exterior of the airbag through a patch; thus, the airbag is joined to the retainer. A gas generator is joined to the retainer with a bracket. A seat pan has a recess for accommodating the patches and the first nuts when the retainer to which the airbag and the gas generator have been joined in advance is mounted thereto.

Abstract: A passenger protecting apparatus that prevents a submarine phenomenon of the passenger by the use of an air belt that is configured to inflate to form a sleeve wall. The apparatus includes a seat cushion that includes a seat pad, and an air belt disposed under the seat pad. The apparatus includes a buckle and a lap anchor. The rear end on the right and the left of the air belt are connected to the buckle and the lap anchor via a wire respectively. Upon collision, the air belt is inflated and the front portion of the seat pad is pushed up so that a submarine phenomenon is prevented and the buckle and the lap anchor are pulled down.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a passenger protecting device for protecting a passenger in a seat in a vehicle in the event of a collision, and particularly relates to a passenger protecting device having a configuration for restraining the waist of the passenger in a frontal collision so as to prevent forward and backward movement of the body of the passenger. The passenger protecting device may include a bag disposed underneath the front portion of a seat cushion, a gas generator for inflating the bag, a bag envelope disposed so as to surround the bag, and a cover.

Abstract: To provide an occupant protecting device in which a bag placed at the front of a seat cushion is inflated to locally and sufficiently push up or sufficiently harden the front of the seat cushion in order to prevent the forward movement of the waist of an occupant. An inflatable tube is placed under the front of a cushion pad. Gas is introduced from an inflator into the tube. A cover is provided to overlie the tube. The cover is pushed up when the tube is inflated. The cover tapers toward the top.

Abstract: A passenger protecting apparatus that includes an air belt configured to inflate along a back surface of a seat back to provide protection to the lower body a passenger sitting behind the seat. The apparatus includes a buckle and a lap anchor. The rear end on the right and the left of the air belt are connected to the buckle and the lap anchor via a wire respectively. Upon collision, the air belt is inflated and the buckle and the lap anchor are pulled down to thereby pretension the seat belt.

Abstract: An occupant protecting device includes a bag disposed on the upper side of the seat pan and being inflatable so as to press the front portion of the seat cushion from the lower side; and a gas generator for inflating the bag. The bag extends laterally widthwise of the seat pan, and the left and right ends of the bag are preferably connected to a seat pan respectively. The bag is arranged in such a manner that the swagging amount of the hip of the occupant into the seat cushion does not exceed 60 mm when the hip of the occupant is swagged into the seat cushion in a state in which the bag is inflated at the time of front collision of the vehicle and the front portion of the seat cushion is pressed from the lower side.

Abstract: A passenger protecting device includes an inflatable bag configured to be disposed underneath a front portion of a seat cushion. The device also includes a cover overlying the bag in a position between the bag and the seat cushion; wherein the cover is configured to be deformed by the inflating bag. The middle portion of the bag may be surrounded by an envelope.

Abstract: An occupant protecting device which makes it possible to inflate a bag of an inflatable seatbelt device or exerting a pre-tension upon a seatbelt by a gas generator for inflating a bag disposed at the front portion of a seat cushion.
