A vehicle airbag includes at least one chamber configured to be inflated when the airbag is triggered and at least one gas generator fluidically connected to the at least one chamber for filling the at least one chamber with a gas. At least one respective interior tensioning bag is arranged in the at least one chamber at each opposing chamber end. The two tensioning bags are configured in such a way that during the filling of the at least one chamber, they synchronously tension and deploy the chamber.

Airbag and vehicle

A vehicle includes a pedestrian protection device having a car hood that can be opened on at least one edge facing the windscreen when a collision of a person against the vehicle is recognized. The device also includes at least one airbag, which in the triggered state, extends across a region of a windscreen pillar and a region of the windscreen adjacent to this.

Vehicle having a pedestrian protection system

A passenger protection device for a vehicle includes an airbag assigned to at least one passenger in a rear compartment of the vehicle. The airbag can be activated and filled with a gas in the event of an imminent collision of the vehicle being detected or in the event of a collision. The airbag is formed such that that it is deployed in the activated and filled condition between a front vehicle seat and an upper body region, as well as a between the front vehicle seat and a knee and lower leg region of the passenger.

Passenger protection device for a vehicle, and vehicle

A method for producing a valve device is provided. The airbag has at least one substantially air-permeable textile, fabric layer and with a film. The textile layer and the film are arranged in a deep-drawing tool with at least area-wise reciprocal overlapping. The film is deep-drawn in deep-drawing regions by the deep-drawing tool to form a plurality of depressions of the film. The textile layer is connected to the film in regions of the film differing from the deep-drawing regions by the deep-drawing tool.

A webbing includes, in the longitudinal direction, an expansion region having a first webbing width and a connection region having a second webbing width. The second webbing width is thinner than the first webbing width. In a state of use the webbing is folded up into a winding width, which is thinner than the second webbing width. The second webbing width is an integral multiple of the winding width.

An airbag for a motor vehicle includes a support structure with a plurality of support elements. The support structure is moveable from a storage position to a support position and by which a support volume of the airbag is covered at least partially in the support position. At least one of the support elements is curved at least in one section in the support position.

Airbag, in particular for a motor vehicle

An airbag for a motor vehicle, having a housing and at least one restraining element, which has at least one receptacle space for a gaseous medium, in particular air, and which can be moved, in the case of an accident-induced application of force to the motor vehicle, into a restraining position by the flowing of medium into the receptacle space from a storage position within the housing. At least one wall of the housing has at least one inflow opening for the medium.

Airbag for a motor vehicle

The restraining function of support structure airbags in particular and mechanical airbags should be able to be specifically guaranteed in a simple manner. To this end, an air cushion for an airbag of a motor vehicle is provided, having a sleeve with at least one opening and a closure element arranged on the at least one opening in order to at least partially prevent air from flowing from a first direction, Furthermore, the closure element is flexible and has a channel-shaped design at least upon the flow of air from a second direction opposite the first direction. The closure element thus has the effect of a check valve.

A seatbelt strap for a seatbelt of a motor vehicle includes several seatbelt strap layers and at least one belt interior that can be charged with gas and is arranged between at least two seatbelt strap layers. The seatbelt strap layers are connected to one another in the region of the chargeable seatbelt interior at edge regions by tear strips having different seam thicknesses in different sections. The seatbelt strap layers are fastened to one another outside a region of the chargeable seatbelt interior in such a way that these remain connected to one another at least during the charging of the seatbelt interior.

An airbag for a motor vehicle includes a support structure moveable from a storage position into a restraint position and a covering by means of which a restraint volume of the airbag formed by the support structure in its restraint position is surrounded. The covering is formed as an element separate from the support structure and having passage regions in which the covering is at least substantially permeable to air in at least one direction of flow, and connecting regions that are reinforced relative thereto, in which the covering is connected to the support structure.

A seatbelt for a vehicle that includes a belt strap composed of a plurality of belt strap layers and at least one belt inner space which can be impacted with a gas. The belt strap is guided through a recess of a buckle tongue, which can be inserted into a belt buckle. A holding element is arranged on the belt strap, the holding element holds the buckle tongue in a defined position when the belt strap is in a retracted state.

Safety belt for a vehicle

An airbag for a motor vehicle includes a support structure moveable from a stowage position into a restraint position and a covering that surrounds a restraint volume of the airbag formed by the support structure in its restraint position. The covering is an element that is separate from the support structure and joined to the support structure.

A belt strap for a safety belt of a vehicle includes a belt interior located between two belt strap layers, to which belt interior a gas can be applied. A gas passage connecting at least two sections of the belt interior is provided between the at least two belt strap layers. The gas passage is secured at a first end in the region of an end fitting of the safety belt. The gas passage, which is designed as a flexible tube, is secured within the belt interior with at least a second end, which is located opposite the secured first end.

A restraint system for a motor vehicle includes a support structure moveable from a stowage position into a restraint position, a covering by means of which a restraint volume formed by the support structure in its restraint position is enclosed, and at least one ventilation opening via which a medium, in particular air, can flow into the covering during the transfer into the restraint position. The at least one ventilation opening is provided within a housing that at least partially accommodates the support structure and the covering in the stowage position.

Restraining system, in particular for a motor vehicle

A valve device for a gaseous medium of an airbag is provided. The valve device includes a textile layer, in particular a woven fabric, which is permeable with respect to the medium at least in certain regions. The valve device also includes at least one film covering the textile layer in at least one region and which forms at least one passage region of the valve device, which is at least substantially closed in a closed position of the valve device and open at least in certain regions in an at least temporary passage position of the valve device.
