  • Patent number: 11400881
    Abstract: A knee protection airbag device includes an airbag. When the air bag is accommodated, an occupant side wall portion and a vehicle body side wall portion are overlapped and expanded flatly and roll-folding is performed such that an upper edge side of a knee receiving portion side approaches a lower edge side of the mounting portion side, end side portions on left and right sides of the roll-folded roll folding portion are formed as folded portions which fold over a central portion near a center in a left-right direction of the roll folding portion to form a folding completed body. A joining between a first overlapping portion and a tip side part of the airbag is released when an inflation gas flows into the airbag and when a fold of a first fold is canceled and the first overlapping portion deviates from a rear area of the central portion.

  • Patent number: 10479311
    Abstract: An airbag cover adapted to be jointed with an airbag housing for covering an airbag housed in the housing. The airbag cover includes a door. In a circumference of the door, there are a hinge region which holds the door as opened, and a tearable region configured to break when pushed by the airbag. The tearable region includes a bridged tear region which includes perforations formed through the airbag cover and bridging regions disposed between the perforations, and is configured to break when the bridging regions break, and a thinned tear region which includes a continuous thinned region and is configured to break when the thinned region breaks. The bridged tear region is disposed at a leading end of the door as opened, distant from the hinge. The thinned tear region is disposed between both ends of the hinge region and both ends of the bridged tear region.

  • Patent number: 10351093
    Abstract: An airbag includes a mounting region, a protection inflatable region and an intermediate region disposed between the mounting region and the protection inflatable region. An area of the airbag from the protection inflatable region to the intermediate region is formed of two panels that are continuous with each other at leading end regions of the panels apart from the mounting region and the two panels in that area are connected at opposite edges by a joint. The protection inflatable region includes at the leading end a folded region that is formed by bringing the leading end regions of the two panels closer to the mounting region so as to form four or more layers of the panels, such that the folded region includes at least two inflatable spaces between the layers and a crease that is continuous with the joint.
