Abstract: Emulsifier composition is a mixture of polyglycerol fatty acid ester (n.gtoreq.4) and the lactylate of a fatty acid (C.gtoreq.8) or its salt and is used to manufacture a wide range of different O/W emulsions, e.g. sunscreen emulsions for cosmetics. The polyglycerol fatty acid ester preferably has an HLB value.ltoreq.8. The emulsifier composition can additionally contain a lipophilic emulsifier.

Abstract: An air bag is formed of an opening formed at the rear end for receiving an inflator; a vent hole formed in the rear face; and reinforcing cloth patches sewn by threads to the peripheral edges of the opening and the vent hole. The air bag further includes a heat resisting sheet formed continuously on the inner face of the air bag over the opening and the vent hole for covering and protecting the threads.

Abstract: An inflator mounting structure for a passenger's air bag system is formed of an inflator having a cylindrical body portion charged with a gas producing agent, and a retainer retaining the inflator therein and having an opening in its side for inserting the inflator thereinto. Further included is a bushing made of a resin or rubber and interposed between the inner circumference of the opening of the retainer and the outer circumference of the inflator.

Abstract: An air bag device for a passenger, including a container, an air bag contained in the container, a lid covering the container, an inflator, a pair of extensions extending forward from the sides of a front face of the container, and a U-shaped frame extending along the outside of the container and having a pair of arms hinged to the extensions of the container. The frame also includes a bridge portion bridging the arm portions and a support member protruding from the bridge portion and having an end supported by the container. A pair of notches are formed midway of the arm portions and opposing the container for enhancing buckling of the arm portions when a load heavier than a predetermined level is applied to the frame from the lid. The support member may be supported to the container by means of a pin or bolt such that it is released, when the load heavier than a predetermined level is applied, from the pin or bolt to move in the direction of the load.
