Patent number: 12269408Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas generated by an inflator 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. In an inflated and deployed state, the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a seat front-rear direction via left and right sides of a head of a passenger, an airbag body that is in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers and that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and a pair of rear tethers including one-end portions attached to the airbag body and other-end portions attached to a seatback of the vehicle seat. At least a rear tether on a side door side is configured so as to be releasable after a collision of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mitsuyoshi Ohno, Takeshi Yamamoto, Toshiki Iwama, Yoshito Kusuhara, Tsutomu Ishii

Patent number: 12246670Abstract: An airbag device including an airbag that inflates and deploys from a seat rear side of a vehicle seat toward a seat front side via a seat upper side. 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 a head of a passenger, an airbag body that is in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers and that is disposed at a seat front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and a pair of rear tethers including one-end portions attached to the airbag body and other-end portions attached to a seatback. At a time of restraint of the passenger, the airbag body is pulled by the rear tethers obliquely rearward and downward such that the front-rear chambers press shoulders of the passenger from a seat upper side.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mitsuyoshi Ohno, Takeshi Yamamoto, Toshiki Iwama, Yoshito Kusuhara, Tsutomu Ishii

Patent number: 12179685Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mitsuyoshi Ohno, Takeshi Yamamoto, Toshiki Iwama, Yoshito Kusuhara, Tsutomu Ishii

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.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mitsuyoshi Ohno, Takeshi Yamamoto, Toshiki Iwama, Yoshito Kusuhara, Tsutomu Ishii

Patent number: 12103485Abstract: An airbag includes a plurality of base materials made of a sheet body. The base materials include: an occupant side panel; a vehicle body side panel; a front side panel; and a rear side panel. Corresponding edge portions of the occupant side panel, the vehicle body side panel, the front side panel and the rear side panel are configured to be joined to each other by a planar joining operation. Outer peripheral edges of the front side panel and the rear side panel are joined to corresponding edge portions of the vehicle body side panel and the occupant side panel, respectively. The front side panel and the rear side panel are separated from each other on a front-rear direction side, when the inflation is completed, by joining corresponding left and right edges of the vehicle body side panel and the occupant side panel to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuya Suzuki, Tsutomu Ishii, Koji Kawamura
