Abstract

An occupant protection device for a motor vehicle occupant. The device includes an airbag arranged on a motor vehicle body in the region of a lateral roof edge of a motor vehicle, the airbag being configured to deploy downwards during inflation so that the inflated airbag extends in front of at least one side window of the motor vehicle; and a guide extending longitudinally and being connected to the lower edge of the airbag. The guide being movably guided on the motor vehicle body in the direction of deployment of the airbag.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an occupant protection device for an occupant of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] It is known to mount an airbag on the vehicle body at the side top edge portion of the vehicle such that it is deployed downward when inflated by a gas generator. Thus, in the inflated state, it unfolds in the form of a curtain in front of at least one side window of the motor vehicle. [0003] A problem in occupant protection devices of the above-mentioned type for motor vehicles is to ensure that the lower edge of the airbag is fully tensioned in the inflated state so that in the event of a crash, for example when the motor vehicle rolls over, Occupants of the motor vehicle to be protected may be thrown out of the motor vehicle through side windows. Contents of the invention [0004] Such means, in one embodiment providing controlled guidance of the lower edge of the airbag, comprises: an airbag located at the vehicle body in t...
