  • Patent number: 11648909
    Abstract: A side airbag that is configured to reduce risk of injury to a passenger by differentiating inner pressures in an airbag cushion at the beginning of a deployment of the airbag cushion. The side airbag includes a diffuser configured to supply gas discharged from an inflator to an inside of an airbag cushion, a separator partitioning an internal space of the airbag cushion up and down so that an upper region of the airbag cushion is more rapidly inflated than a lower region of the airbag cushion by the gas introduced into the airbag cushion through the diffuser, and a passage formed between the upper region and the lower region such that the gas flows between the upper region and the lower region.

  • Publication number: 20210094502
    Abstract: Provided are a folding method of a side air bag apparatus and the side air bag apparatus. The folding method of the side air bag apparatus includes the steps of: forming an upper tuck-in portion and a lower tuck-in portion by tucking in one side of an upper chamber and one side of a lower chamber of a cushion part, respectively, the upper chamber and the lower chamber being divided by a preset reference part; forming an inboard folding portion by folding the upper chamber toward the preset reference part in a state in which the upper tuck-in portion has been formed; and forming a rolling portion by rolling, in a direction of an inflator, the upper chamber in a state in which the inboard folding portion has been formed and the lower chamber in a state in which the lower tuck-in portion has been formed.
