Abstract: The airbag device for front passenger's seat is mounted on the dashboard in front of the front passenger's seat. The airbag device for front passenger's seat includes an airbag to be inflated with the inflation gas, and an inflator for feeding the airbag with the inflation gas of pyro- and long mass flow type. The gas permeability rate of the airbag is 1.0 l/cm2/min or under at 20 kPa air pressure, and its weight is 230 g/m2 or under. This airbag device for front passenger's seat prevents the gas leakage, expands and inflates the airbag properly, and constitutes to the weight reduction.

Abstract: An instrument panel is provided with an upper panel of a synthetic resin disposed on the front side, and a core panel of a synthetic resin retentive of shape and connected to the rear side of the upper panel. The core panel has a casing portion which has an opening portion opened in an air bag-protruding direction and which receives a folded air bag of a passenger seat air bag unit and an inflator for supplying an inflating gas to the air bag. The upper panel has door portions which cover the casing portion and which are pressed and opened by the air bag when the air bag is inflated.

Abstract: A three-dimensional airbag for a vehicle having a main panel having a generally elongated shape. The main panel includes a pair of generally symmetric first portions extending from opposite sides of a fold line and a pair of second portions. A subpanel is secured to the main panel to form a hollow body. The first portions of the main panel are joined to each other along their edges. The edges of the second portions are secured to the edge of the subpanel to close the open front end of the hollow body to form an air bag. The air bag may further include at least one of a baffle for controlling the flow of air within the bag during inflation and a tether assembly for controlling the opening of the air bag.

Abstract: An airbag device for a passenger's seat includes an airbag, cylinder type inflator, a casing, and a retainer. The airbag is provided with an opening for inflowing an expansion gas therethrough and is capable of being folded. The inflator is capable of producing and supplying the expansion gas to the opening of the airbag. The casing may receive the folded airbag and the inflator therein. The retainer is adapted to engage a peripheral edge of the opening of the airbag and is mounted to the casing with the peripheral edge of the airbag being disposed and compressed between the retainer and the casing. The retainer includes presser portions, which abut the inflator when mounted to the casing. The casing includes supports, which abut the inflator. The inflator is disposed between the presser portions of the retainer and the supports of the casing, thereby securing the inflator within the casing.

Abstract: In the air bag device, a bag holder, a retainer, and an air bag can be assembled together into a united body by use of bolts and nuts which are provided so as to extend from a retainer formed from a metal plate. At a plurality of positions near a peripheral edge of an opening formed in the air bag, there are formed insertion holes. In the retainer, there are provided a plurality of securing projections which are inserted through associated insertion holes and into associated securing holes formed in the bag holder. Each of the securing projections is cut and raised from a main body of the retainer and has a semi-cylindrical shape with the peripheral wall thereof raised from the retainer and a semi-arc shaped outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall faces the opening of the air bag.
