  • Patent number: 12187217
    Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas during a vehicle collision, and that inflates and deploys from a rear side of a vehicle seat toward a front side via an upper side thereof. In an inflated and deployed state the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a front-rear direction via left and right sides of the head of a passenger, and an airbag body in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers, that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and that is compression deformed in a state supported by the pair of front-rear chambers during restraint of the passenger. The airbag is configured such that entry of at least the head of the passenger into gaps between the front-rear chambers and the airbag body is suppressed during a latter half of restraining the passenger.

  • Patent number: 12179685
    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger seated in a vehicle seat and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. The airbag main body inflates and deploys toward a side of the passenger at a seat rear side of the connecting portion, later than the front-rear chamber. At a time when the passenger is restrained, the airbag main body is compressed in a seat front-rear direction while stretching the front-rear chamber in the seat front-rear direction.

  • Patent number: 12179684
    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. Gas is supplied to the airbag main body via a communication hole positioned at a seat rear side of the connecting portion of the front-rear chamber that has inflated and deployed. Owing to inflation and deployment of the front-rear chamber, the airbag main body passes through a gap between a ceiling of the vehicle and the head from the seat rear side toward the seat front side, and thereafter, inflates and deploys toward the seat rear side.
