Patent number: 6623031Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle which has a door frame and a door contained within the door frame. The safety device includes: a gas generator; a sensor for sensing at least one of a side impact and a roll-over for activating the gas generator; and an inflatable element connected to the gas generator for being inflated with gas from the gas generator upon activation of the gas generator. The inflatable element can thus assume a non-inflated mode and an inflated mode and can further be positioned adjacent the door in an inflated-mode thereof. The inflatable element is further made of fabric and includes: a first fabric layer defining a front part thereof; a second fabric layer defining a back part thereof, selected parts of the first fabric layer and second fabric layer being interconnected for defining one of linear and point shaped links where the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer are directly secured together.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Autoliv Development ABInventors: Yngve Haland, Lars-Erik Florberger, Sture Andersson, Simomn Valkenburg, I.

Publication number: 20030047921Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle comprises an inflatable element(8) which is initially stored in position in a recess in a door frame(4). A gas generator(5) may provide gas to inflate the inflatable element. When the inflatable element is inflated it extends between the head of a person sitting in the motor vehicle and the door, or a window in the door. The device provides protection in a side impact or roll-over situation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2002Publication date: March 13, 2003Inventors: Yngve Haland, Lars-Erik Florberger, Sture Andersson, Simomn Valkenburg, I.
