Abstract

An airbag system for protecting rear seat occupants in dynamic side impacts using an improved packaging arrangement is provided. The system includes seat base and seat back frames. The seat back frame is movable between an upright position and a reclined position. The system further includes a unified airbag having a pelvic portion and a thoracic portion. The pelvic portion is positioned adjacent to the seat base frame. The thoracic portion is positioned adjacent to the seat back frame. The unified airbag is attached to the seat base frame by fixed anchors and to the seat back frame by a movable anchor. A grooved track is provided for attachment of the movable anchor. The airbag may be a strip shape or a triangular shape. One or more tethers may be attached to the unified airbag.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed inventive concept generally relates to airbags for vehicles. More specifically, the disclosed inventive concept relates to an airbag for rear seat occupants that provides protection to both the pelvis and chest of the occupant with a single airbag in the event of a side collision. Background technique [0002] Airbag systems for the protection of front seat occupants of motor vehicles in the event of a crash are commonly used to reduce occupant injuries. Known systems include, for example, steering wheels, instrument panels, window shades and seat belt airbags. These systems protect front seat occupants in a variety of accident situations including frontal and side impacts and vehicle rollovers. Regardless of their placement in the vehicle, in all cases, airbags are intended to provide a cushioning layer between the interior of the vehicle and the front seat occupants when the curtains are inflated during a crash event. [0003] In the...
