  • Curtain air bag
    Patent number: 7404572
    Abstract: A new and useful curtain air bag having an inflatable fluid cushion with inflatable fluid sections, and a flexible bladder located within the inflatable cushion. A fluid inlet conduit is configured to direct inflation fluid into the bladder from an inflation fluid source. The bladder is configured to redirect, diffuse and distribute the inflation fluid to the inflatable sections of the inflatable cushion, to inflate the portions of the inflatable cushion in a predetermined manner. Another type of curtain air bag assembly includes an inflatable cushion with a pair of similar volume inflatable sections, on opposite sides of an inlet conduit. In each type of air bag assembly, the fluid can be redirected by the bladder or the inflatable cushion, or by a transverse fluid conduit disposed in the bladder or the inflatable cushion.

  • Curtain air bag assembly
    Patent number: 6962364
    Abstract: A side curtain air bag assembly is provided, which has an inlet configured to receive inflation gas, a plurality of inflatable chambers; and a distribution tube in fluid communication with the inlet of the air bag. The inlet and the distribution tube are configured to cause inflation gas to flow along the air bag in a predetermined direction, and the distribution tube has a conical portion configured to reduce the pressure of the inflation gas pressure that is communicated from the inlet, and to distribute the inflation gas to the inflatable compartments of the air bag.
