Embodiment Construction

[0046] Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, the air bag 10 , 210 , 310 for a vehicle 12 includes a first panel 14 , 314 and a second panel 16 , 216 , 316 . The first panel 14, 314 includes a perimeter P1 and the second panel 16, 216, 316 is connected to the first panel 14, 314 along the perimeter P1 of the first panel 14, 314, so that between the first panel 14, 314 and the second panel 14, 314 A plenum 34 is defined between the two panels 16 , 216 , 316 . The first panel 14 , 314 has side ears 22 extending from the perimeter P1 of the first panel 14 , 314 transversely to the perimeter P1 of the first panel 14 , 314 . The vent holes 24 , 25 are located on the side ears 22 and communicate with the plenum chamber 34 .

[0047] Because the vents 24, 25 are located on the side ears 22 rather than in the seam 26, the shape of the vents 24, 25 is maintained when the airbag 10, 210, 310 is inflated during a vehicle 12 col...

Abstract

An airbag includes a first panel having a perimeter, and a second panel connected to the first panel along the perimeter of the first panel. The first panel and the second panel define an inflation chamber between the first and second panels. The first panel has a tab extending from the perimeter of the first panel and transverse to the perimeter of the first panel. The tab is connected to the second panel. A vent on the tab is in communication with the inflation chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of vehicle equipment, in particular to a side airbag including a forward vent hole. Background technique [0002] A vehicle's side airbags may be deployed between an occupant and a door of the vehicle. Side airbags can be supported by the vehicle's seat backs. Specifically, the side airbags may be folded behind the fabric of the seat back when in the non-inflated position and may extend through the fabric when inflated to the inflated position. [0003] The side airbag may include vents to provide the desired impact absorbing characteristics of the side airbag. The location of the vent holes to provide for the desired crash absorbing characteristics may be influenced by competing design factors. Therefore, there remains an opportunity to design an improved side airbag with desired venting. Contents of the invention [0004] According to the present invention, there is provided an airbag comprising: [0005] a f...
