Abstract: Structure mounted airbag assemblies and associated systems and methods are described herein. An airbag system configured in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure can include, for example, a housing having a cavity and an opening in communication with the cavity, an airbag assembly within the cavity, and an inflator operably coupled to the airbag assembly. The airbag assembly can include an airbag configured to deploy through the opening of the housing during a crash event. The airbag system can further include a door removably positioned across the opening and configured to move away from the opening during airbag deployment. The housing can be affixed to an interior portion of an aircraft, forward of and offset from an aircraft seat.

Abstract: A safety bag comprising a lower portion secured to a lap belt proximate an inflation source, a middle section and an upper section. The upper section is folded into the middle section and the middle section and upper section are folded into the lower section. When the bag inflates, the lower section first inflates to one side away from the inflation source, the middle section next inflates at approximately a right angle to the lower section, and the upper section inflates last back towards the inflation source. Upon inflation, the bag assumes approximately a “C-shape.

Abstract: An inflatable lap belt safety bag comprising: a first fabric piece comprising two sides thereof and two ends thereof, wherein the two ends thereof are secured to the lap belt in the vicinity of an inflation source, wherein the first fabric piece is constructed to define a top, bottom, front and rear panels of the safety bag; a pair of side fabric pieces attached to opposite sides of the first fabric piece to define a pair of opposite side panels of the safety bag; and wherein each of the side fabric pieces comprises a first portion, a second portion and an intermediate portion, and wherein the intermediate portion has a smaller width than the first and second portions.

Abstract: An inflatable vehicle safety system having a source of inflating gas and an inflatable bag in which a flat, woven hose connects the gas source to the inflatable bag using minimal connecting hardware.
