  • Patent number: 11858452
    Abstract: An air bag cushion for a vehicle. A tether reinforcing fabric coupled to a tether seam portion of a main cushion is used to allow the tether reinforcing fabric to inflate with the main cushion when the main cushion inflates, and the inflating tether reinforcing fabric forms an auxiliary chamber between the main cushion and the tether reinforcing fabric, and the auxiliary chamber of the tether reinforcing fabric supports the head of a passenger in a front passenger seat in the event of a crash, thereby preventing the rotation of the passenger's head and efficiently protecting the safety of the front passenger.

  • Patent number: 11414040
    Abstract: An airbag cushion is formed by combining a front panel and a rear panel, so the structure is simple and the number of parts is small. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost, the weight, and the volume, so the airbag cushion can be easily packed and manufactured. The airbag cushion is also configured to safely protect a passenger because it can be quickly unfolded and can be supported by a vehicle body part.

  • Publication number: 20110260436
    Abstract: Provided is a passenger airbag apparatus that not only allows an airbag cushion to inflate in different sizes, depending on the types and positions of passengers in a passenger seat, but can automate a folding process, because the airbag cushion is made in 2D. The passenger airbag apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a passenger sensor detecting information on the type and position of a passenger in a passenger seat; a controller outputting control signal on the basis of the information supplied from the passenger sensor; a gas generator generating different amounts of gas in response to the control signal transmitted from the controller; and an airbag cushion connected with the gas generator, having a folded portion that is folded and bound, and inflating in different sizes while the folded portion is unfolded in accordance with the amounts of gas supplied from the gas generator.
