Embodiment Construction

[0031] Such as Figure 1-3 As shown, disclosed herein is a vehicle air curtain system 10 that may be mounted to a vehicle body 12, for example, by restraining the head or upper body of one or more occupants in the event of a vehicle crash, such as a diagonal crash, for one or more occupants. Multiple vehicle occupants provide protection. Vehicle curtain air system 10 includes air curtain 14, such as figure 1 The air curtain 14 , shown in an undeployed state, may be rolled up inside the vehicle body 12 and stored at or near the vehicle waistline 26 , such as just below the roofline. In the expanded state, such as figure 2 and 3 As shown, tension straps 16 , 18 , each attached at a first end to the air curtain 14 and at a second end to the vehicle body 12 , maintain tension on the air curtain 14 . Thus, the air curtain 14 comprising the side wall 22 extending from the front panel 24, together with the connecting strap 34 leading to the rear part 36, protects the occupant's ...

Description

Background technique [0001] An oblique crash poses specific risks to vehicle occupants. An oblique crash is one in which a vehicle strikes another object at an angle, for example, at an angle of, for example, about 15 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle relative to the object. When an oblique collision occurs in the front of the vehicle, the vehicle occupants may move at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. That is, in the event of an oblique collision, the vehicle occupant can move in a direction determined by the impact angle, i.e. the occupant or at least the head and / or upper body of the occupant can move at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in an oblique collision move in the direction of . Accordingly, there is a need for new vehicle safety devices that protect occupants in the event of an oblique collision. For example, a driver-side or passenger-side front air bag, even in combination with side curtain air bags or o...
