Abstract: An airbag assembly includes an airbag having a knee chamber and an upper chamber. A wall fluidly isolates the knee chamber and the upper chamber. A sleeve extends from the knee chamber through the wall to the upper chamber and fluidly communicates the knee chamber and the upper chamber. A one-way vent is in the sleeve. The one-way vent allows for the knee chamber and the upper chamber to be maintained at different relative pressures.

Abstract: An assembly includes an airbag that has a panel defining an inflation chamber. The assembly includes a foam pad exterior to the inflation chamber with the foam pad fixed to the panel of the airbag. The foam pad is intended to provide an additional layer of reinforcement for the inflation chamber 18 when the foam pad interacts with its surroundings upon inflation.

An airbag is disposed between the first arm and the second arm. The airbag is attached to one of the first arm or the second arm.

Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle includes a steering wheel. The assembly includes an airbag inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag has a main chamber supported by the steering wheel. The main chamber in the inflated position has a rear panel facing the steering wheel, an impact panel opposite the rear panel, and an outermost periphery between the impact panel and the rear panel. The airbag includes an extension having a first end and a terminal end. The extension extends from the first end to the terminal end adjacent the rear panel of the main chamber. The first end extends from the outermost periphery and the rear panel and the terminal end is connected to the rear panel. The airbag has an inflation chamber extending from the main chamber to the terminal end through the first end of the extension.

Abstract: An airbag assembly includes a housing and a side airbag inflatable to an inflated position. The side airbag in the inflated position has an upper lobe and a lower lobe supporting the upper lobe on the housing. The side airbag includes an internal panel between the upper lobe and the lower lobe. A tether has a first end anchored to the housing and a second end anchored to the upper lobe.

Abstract: A vehicle comprises: a knee bolster; a movable obstruction disposed forward of the knee bolster; a seating assembly rearward of the knee bolster; a sensor that generates output; and a controller in communication with the sensor that (a) determines the attribute of the passenger from the output that the sensor generates, and (b) either (i) causes the movable obstruction to obstruct forward movement of the knee bolster based on the determined attribute of the passenger, or (ii) causes the movable obstruction not to obstruct the forward movement of the knee bolster based on the determined attribute of the passenger. The attribute of the passenger can be the weight of the passenger. The controller can cause the movable obstruction to obstruct forward movement of the knee bolster because the weight of the passenger is greater than a predetermined threshold weight.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a door, a seat spaced from the door, and an airbag supported by the seat and inflatable to an inflated position between the door and the seat. The airbag includes a plurality of first threads and a plurality of second threads being a different type of thread than the first threads. The airbag includes a first portion having the first threads interwoven with each other. The airbag includes a second portion having the second threads interwoven with the first threads. The second portion faces the door in the inflated position.

Abstract: An assembly includes a seatback frame having a pair of upright frame members. Each of the upright frame members has an inward side and an outward side. The inward sides are spaced from each other and face each other. The outward sides face away from each other. The assembly includes a cross-member extending from one of the upright frame members to the other of the upright frame members. The assembly includes an airbag having a first connection fixed to the outward side and a second connection fixed to the inward side of one of the upright frame members.

Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle includes an airbag inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag includes a first panel, a second panel, and an inflation chamber between the first panel and the second panel. The assembly includes an inflation restraint exterior to the inflation chamber. The inflation restraint includes a first end fixed to the first panel and a second end fixed to the second panel. The inflation restraint includes a releasable extension between the first end and the second end. The releasable extension is movable from an unreleased position to a released position as the airbag inflates to the inflated position.

Abstract: An assembly includes an interior component. The assembly includes a deployable panel having an upper panel and a lower panel supported by the interior component, the deployable panel being movable relative to the interior component from a retracted position to an extended position. The assembly includes a hinge between the upper panel and the lower panel. The assembly includes an airbag inflatable to an inflated position in which the airbag is positioned to abut the upper panel in the extended position.

Abstract: A side airbag assembly includes a housing and an airbag in the housing. The housing has a top surface and a panel. The panel has a top end and a hinge connecting the top end to the top surface. The panel has a bottom end and two side ends extending from the top end to the bottom end. The panel has weakened joints at the bottom end and the side ends. The panel is rotatable relative to the top surface from an undeployed position to a generally upright position and the panel abuts the top surface in the generally upright position.

Abstract: An assembly includes an airbag that has a panel defining an inflation chamber. The assembly includes a foam pad exterior to the inflation chamber with the foam pad fixed to the panel of the airbag. The foam pad is intended to provide an additional layer of reinforcement for the inflation chamber 18 when the foam pad interacts with its surroundings upon inflation.

Abstract: An assembly includes a seat. The assembly includes a bin adjacent the seat and defining a chamber having an open top. The assembly includes an uninflatable member having a front and a rear and above the open top, the uninflatable member movable to an elevated position with the front and the rear spaced from the bin.

Abstract: An assembly includes a seatback having an upright frame member and a side airbag mounted to the upright frame member. The side airbag is inflatable to an inflated position. The side airbag includes a forward chamber and a spacer chamber adjacent each other and substantially fluidly separated from each other in the inflated position. At least one inflator is in fluid communication with the forward chamber and the spacer chamber.

Abstract: A restraint system includes an inflator, an airbag inflatable by the inflator and having an exterior surface, and a fabric tunnel attached on the exterior surface of the airbag and elongated from a sealed end to an open end. The tunnel is fluidly isolated from the inflator. The tunnel is oriented relative to the airbag so that the open end is aimed in a direction of motion during inflation of the airbag.

Abstract: A side airbag assembly includes a seatback and a side airbag supported by the seatback. The side airbag has a first panel and a second panel. The first panel and the second panel have an expandable region including an inflation chamber. The first panel and the second panel are connected to each other defining a substantially non-expandable region. The first panel and the second panel are connected to each other around an opening. The opening extends through the first panel and the second panel and the opening is between and adjacent to the substantially non-expandable region and the expandable region.
