Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views, a seating assembly 10 , 100 for a vehicle 12 includes a seat back 14 and a seat bottom 16 extending away from the seat back 14 . The air bag 18 is supported by the seat bottom 16 and includes an intermediate member 20 (ie, a front member 20 having a first end 22 and a second end 24 ). The intermediate member 20 is spaced apart from the seat back 14 . The air bag 18 includes a first side member 26 extending from a first end 22 toward the seat back 14 and a second side member 28 extending from a second end 24 toward the seat back 14 .

[0039] During a sensed collision of the vehicle 12, the airbag 18 may be activated from, for example, figure 1 Inflate to the uninflated position shown as figure 2 and Figure 5 The inflated position is shown to assist in cushioning the occupant 30 seated in the seat assembly 10 , 100 . In particular, the airbag 18 may deploy when a coll...

Abstract

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seatback and a seat bottom extending away from the seatback. An airbag is supported by the seat bottom and includes a middle member having a first end and a second end. The middle member is spaced from the seatback. The airbag includes a first side member extending from the first end of the middle member toward the seatback, and a second side member extending from the second end of the middle member toward the seatback. When inflated in response to a sensed impact of the vehicle, the middle member, the first side member, and the second side member extend around the occupant. One leg of the occupant is disposed between the middle member and the first side member, and the other leg of the occupant is disposed between the middle member and the second side member.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle seat assembly including an airbag. Background technique [0002] Vehicles may include various airbag assemblies that may deploy during a vehicle collision to absorb energy from a vehicle occupant during the collision. Vehicles may include provisions to allow occupants to face each other during operation of the vehicle. As one example, an autonomous vehicle may be operated autonomously, allowing an occupant of the vehicle to ride in the vehicle without monitoring the operation of the vehicle. Specifically, an autonomous vehicle may include a seat that rotates freely during vehicle operation. This may allow the occupants of the seat to face and interact with each other. This may also allow all occupants to relax, interact with each other, and focus on vehicle amenities. There remains an opportunity to design vehicle components including airbags while taking into acco...
