A gas generator 10 and a gas generant packet 30 for use in an inflatable vehicle occupant protection system. The gas generator includes a housing 12, an igniter 18, and one or more gas generants 23 and / or 40 are positioned in a combustion chamber 24 defined by the housing 12. One or more of the gas generants 23 and / or 40 are enclosed in a substantially gas-and-moisture-impermeable container 30 disconnected from the housing 12, or suspended within the chamber 24, thereby forming pocket of gas generant therein. The container 30 may be formed from a polymer or polyester film. The gas generant packet may be variably positionable within the combustion chamber 24 prior to activation of the igniter 18. A method for manufacturing a gas generator 10 and a method for activating a gas generator 10 are also disclosed.

An airbag system includes an airbag, and the airbag includes an airbag body having a passenger-side wall portion that is arranged at a passenger side when having completed deploying and inflating, and a slip cloth that is disposed at an outer surface side of the passenger-side wall portion. The slip cloth formed in a loop shape an axial direction of which is in a left and right direction includes: a front panel portion arranged at a passenger side; an upper back panel portion extending downward from an upper end of the front panel portion; and a lower back panel portion extending upward from a lower end of the front panel portion, and a lower end of the upper back panel portion and an upper end of the lower back panel portion are mutually approximated, and joined to the passenger-side wall portion.

A retainer and an inflator are disposed inside the airbag. The retainer includes a mounting base section, a holding section which extends from the mounting base section and receives and holds an inflator therein, and a second mounting means which protrudes from the mounting base perpendicularly. The inflator includes a cylindrical body provided with a gas release section and, a first mounting means protruding from a region of the body disposed outside the airbag. The retainer further includes a storing dent section which receives the first mounting means of the inflator so as to conform an orientation of the first means to that of the second mounting means and, a pressing section disposed proximate the storing dent section. The pressing section is brought into close contact with a circumferential area of the body of the inflator when the first mounting means of the inflator is secured to a vehicle body.

A front pillar trim mounting structure has a front pillar (10), a front pillar trim (30), an airbag (60), and an assist grip (70). The front pillar is provided in the front portion of a vehicle. The front pillar trim (30) covers the front pillar (10) from the inner side of the vehicle. The airbag (60) is located between the front pillar (10) and the front pillar trim (30). The assist grip (70) is attached to the front pillar (10), and is installed on a vehicle inner surface of the front pillar trim (30). The front pillar trim (30) has a first front pillar trim (40), a second front pillar trim (50), and an engagement mechanism (54). The assist grip (70) is installed on the first front pillar trim (40). The second front pillar trim (50) is provided with an opening where the first front pillar trim (40) is installed. The engagement mechanism (54) detachably connects the second front pillar trim (50) to first front pillar trim (40). The engagement mechanism (54) is configured to allow the second front pillar trim (50) to move with respect to the front pillar (10) by releasing the second front pillar trim (50) by an expansion pressure of the airbag (60) at a time of inflation of the airbag (60), so that a gap for deployment of the airbag (60) is formed between the second front pillar trim (50) and the front pillar (10).

An interior structure of a vehicle comprises a shock absorbing member attached to a vehicle body inside a roof trim above a pillar trim, a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored in a roof trim and an inflator to supply gas to the curtain airbag, wherein the curtain airbag has a bending portion in which a rear end portion of the curtain airbag bends forwardly in a storage state, a gas supply portion of the inflator is provided in front of the bending portion of the curtain airbag, and the shock absorbing member holds the bending portion of the curtain airbag inserted into an inside from a vehicle front side with an opening, a holding clip and a storage portion.

An airbag has a lower edge of the inflation shielding section positioned lower than a belt line that is composed of the lower edge of the window at the time of the full inflation. The airbag is roll-folded such that the lower edge side thereof is wound toward the exterior side after the lower edge side thereof is folded to the exterior side, and is folded such that the lower edge-side end at the time of the full inflation is positioned on the outermost circumferential side of a roll-folding portion. While folded, the lower edge-sided end is disposed in a region where, during deployment and inflation, the lower edge-side end does not follow the inner circumferential portion of the roll-folding portion that is deployed on the inner circumferential side of the lower edge-side end, but is disposed at a position of the interior side of the inner circumferential portion.
