  • Patent number: 6955240
    Abstract: A dual-stage air bag module for a passenger seat capable of easily controlling and changing gas pressures to be provided into an air cushion, and also implementing a miniaturization and a lightweight of the air bag module. The first and second inflators, which are controlled by a control unit, are arranged in a diagonal direction to each other within a housing. The first and second inflators are generally inflators for a driver seat air bag modules mounted in a steering wheel. The retainer is fixed in the state that a portion thereof is received in the upper portion of the housing in order to fix the cushion holder assembled with the air cushion within the housing. The retainer is coupled through a predetermined coupling member to the housing with the first and second inflators.

  • Patent number: 6918610
    Abstract: A membrane horn switch structure of an airbag module does not include a back plate, which simplifies an inner configuration of a bag cover and ensures stable operation. The structure includes an outer support plate installed on a plurality of protrusions formed at an inner bottom of the bag cover, the outer support plate including a pair of films having edges which are sealed to form an inner space. A membrane horn switch unit includes a pair of inner support plates having an arc shape, which are installed in the outer support plate. The inner support plates are overlapped and spaced apart from each other. One end of each inner support plate is fixed to the outer support plates, and the other end of each inner support plate is free, so that the inner support plates are in contact with each other when the outer support plate is pressed.

  • Publication number: 20040124614
    Abstract: Disclosed is a variable cover of a curtain airbag for a vehicle, comprising a plurality of bellows, which can control the angle and length of the cover which has a circular or polygonal shape, and an exploding part, which guides the spreading direction by being exploded by an exploding pressure of an airbag cushion, by a hook or a scoring process. This can guide the standardization of a cover which can be applied to the roof side rail of different vehicles. Thereby, it contributes to reduce the manufacturing cost by preventing manufacturing the cover individually in accordance with the existing vehicles and enhance a worker's convenience by aiming at an uniformity of the working process.
