Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is employed in a vehicle seat that includes a seat back and a seat belt guide. The seat back includes an accommodation portion in a lateral portion. The seat belt guide is attached to the lateral portion at a location above the accommodation portion. The side airbag apparatus includes a gas generator, an airbag, and a pressure receiving member. The gas generator and the airbag are installed in the accommodation portion. The pressure receiving member is arranged rearward of the airbag, and includes a main body and an upper restricting portion. The main body includes a pressure receiving surface, which extends along an axis of the gas generator. The upper restricting portion is located above and adjacent to the main body and includes an upper restricting surface located forward of an imaginary upward extension of the pressure receiving surface.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus is employed in a vehicle seat that includes a seat back (14) and a seat belt guide (23). The seat back (14) includes an accommodation portion in a lateral portion on the outer side. The seat belt guide (23) is attached to the lateral portion at a location above the accommodation portion. The side airbag apparatus includes a gas generator (30), an airbag (35), and a pressure receiving member (40). The gas generator (30) and the airbag (35) are installed in the accommodation portion. The pressure receiving member (40) is arranged rearward of the airbag (35) in the accommodation portion, and includes a main body (41) and an upper restricting portion (43). The main body (41) includes a pressure receiving surface, which extends along an axis (L1) of the gas generator (30). The main body (41) receives the pressure of inflation gas in the airbag (35) on the pressure receiving surface and produces reaction force in a forward direction, which is perpendicular to the pressure receiving surface.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus includes a side airbag housed in a seat back of a seat of a vehicle. The side airbag includes a lower protection portion configured to protect a portion below a head portion of the occupant, and an upper protection portion configured to protect the head portion. The side airbag is folded in a state in which the upper protection portion is folded toward a lower side so as to be positioned on an outer side in a width direction of the vehicle with respect to the lower protection portion, and a portion, that protrudes toward the front side with respect to the lower protection portion, of the upper protection portion folded toward the lower side, is folded toward a rear side so as to be positioned on an inner side in the width direction with respect to the lower protection portion.

Abstract: A side airbag device includes an airbag that is to be deployed and inflated to correspond to a portion from at least a head portion to a chest portion of the occupant. With a vehicle width direction being taken as a thickness direction, inner surfaces of the airbag in the thickness direction are connected by a tether so that a thickness of the airbag is regulated. The tether partitions an inner portion of the airbag into a first inflation chamber and a second inflation chamber, and has a communication hole through which the first inflation chamber and the second inflation chamber are in communication. When the airbag is inflated, the first inflation chamber corresponds to a rear chest portion of the occupant, and the second inflation chamber corresponds to a front chest portion and the head portion of the occupant. The inflator is disposed in the first inflation chamber.

Abstract: A side airbag apparatus includes: an airbag module including: a side airbag configured to be deployed and inflated when a gas is filled inside the side airbag, and a retainer configured to attach the side airbag in a folded state to an attachment target of a conveyance; and a wrapping material that houses the airbag module and configured to be broken when the side airbag is deployed and inflated. The wrapping material includes a winding band wound around the wrapping material in a state in which the airbag module is housed.

Abstract: A vehicular seat includes: a cushion panel disposed to extend in a seat front-rear direction and to form a bottom portion of a seat cushion; an inflator configured to operate to produce gas, the inflator being provided in the seat cushion; and a cushion airbag configured to expand due to the gas and to push up a range including portions of a seat occupant from thighs to hip points in an expansion end state, the cushion airbag being provided over the cushion panel, in which the cushion airbag is set such that a push-up force in rear right and left regions corresponding to right and left hip joints to right and left lower ischium portions of the seat occupant in the expansion end state is lower than a push-up force in a rear center region present between the rear right and left regions in the expansion end state.
