The invention relates to a belt deflector with a main element () that can be attached to the structure of a vehicle, and with a belt support element () that is movable relative to the main element () and forms a support surface () or support edge for a safety belt () to be deflected. According to the invention, the belt deflector comprises an intermediate element () that is deformed when the movable belt support element () is moved relative to the main element (), in the direction of the intermediate element (), and because of this deformation is pressed against the safety belt ().

Belt deflector

A tensioning drive for a safely belt device. The tensioning drive includes a gas generator, a drive wheel and a supply pipe which connects the gas generator and the drive wheel. A plurality of pushing members is included in the supply pipe. The pushing members are accelerated after the gas generator has been activated. The pushing members drive the drive wheel, and at least one of the pushing members completely or at least partially seals the supply pipe. The sealing action of the at least one sealing pushing member is ended or reduced after a predetermined distance has been travelled.

Tensioning drive for a safety belt device

An airbag arrangement for restraining an occupant of a motor vehicle. The vehicle roof is bounded by lateral roof edge regions extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and also bounded by a front window cross member extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A first section of the folded-up airbag can be arranged along a lateral roof edge region. A second section can be angled away from the first section transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, wherein the second section of the airbag is arranged along a longitudinal side of the front window cross member. The airbag can be disconnected from the vehicle body in the region of the second section or be connected releasably thereto when the airbag is deployed. Therefore, when the airbag is deployed, the entire second section can be deployed freely.

Airbag arrangement

The disclosed roof-lining module is used for installation in a motor vehicle. The roof-lining module comprises a roof-lining covering for covering an inside of a motor vehicle roof skin, wherein a side of the roof-lining faces the vehicle floor; and an airbag module secured on the roof-lining covering with at least one gas generator. The gas generator extends longitudinally over at least a partial region of the roof-lining covering.

Roof-lining module

An airbag module comprises a gas generator, a gas bag, and a gas guiding device which is connected to the gas bag and the gas generator. The gas guiding device comprises at least one outflow opening, through which the gas of the gas generator in the gas bag is guided. The airbag module will not be damaged or only slightly damaged if the airbag module is externally heated, for example, in a fire. The airbag module is configured such that if the gas generator is undesirably released, if the generator is externally heated, the airbag module is thrust-neutral.

Airbag module

An occupant-protection device including an airbag, and a gas generator connected to a filler tube for inflating the airbag. The filler tube has at least one inlet opening situated on its external wall between its two tube ends and is equipped with at least one adapter for allowing the flow of gas between the gas generator and the inlet opening.

Occupant protection device

An occupant protection device having an inflatable airbag for protecting a vehicle occupant in the rear compartment of a vehicle. The airbag being designed is fastened in the roof region of the vehicle so that, when inflated, the airbag at least partially covers both the side wall and/or the side window of the vehicle and also the rear window and/or the rear wall of the vehicle.

A passenger safety device in which an airbag is disposed in the roof area of the vehicle, especially in the area of the roof rail of the vehicle, and in which the airbag of the airbag is stowed at least partially rolled up in the passenger safety device.

Passenger safety device for a vehicle

The present invention includes an airbag arrangement which includes an airbag, a gas tube connected to the airbag, a gas generator having at least one gas outlet, and a jointed connection designed as a ball and socket joint for connecting the gas outlet with the gas tube.

The invention relates to an airbag apparatus for motor vehicles, in particular to a side airbag apparatus comprising a gas generator and a gas filling tube. The tube is provided along its length at predetermined distances gas overflow openings. The openings are connected to an inflatable gas bag which extends at least over a greater portion of the length of the tube and preferably consists of individual cells. Each cell is associated with a pair of gas outflow openings. The gas outflow openings are formed by incisions in the wall of the gas filling tube and by indentations of the tube wall material on one side of the incisions and extending at an angle to the tube axis.

Airbag apparatus

The invention relates to an airbag apparatus comprising a gas generator (,) which has at a periphery a plurality of, preferably two diametrically oppositely lying gas outlet openings (,), a housing (,) which receives the gas flowing out of the gas generator (,) and is mounted at the gas generator in a gas and pressure tight manner, and a gas conduction line (,) leading to an inflatable gas bag. The invention consists in that the housing (,) lies in contact with the outer periphery of the gas generator (,) only at one side and has at least one gas inlet opening (,) lying opposite to a gas outlet opening (,); and in that at least one gas inlet opening (,), which lies diametrically opposite to a gas outlet opening (,), is closed by a closure means (,), in particular a plug, in a gas and pressure tight manner.

Airbag apparatus with a gas generator

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an airbag which consists of a plurality of airbag parts and has an airbag envelope. In the method at least one airbag part is provided at least regionally with a polyurethane coating through the heating of which the airbag part can be welded to a further airbag part.

Method of manufacturing an airbag

Inflatable side airbag with duct-shaped forming chambers (,) having a fastening side (,), which is provided for the fastening of the airbag along a substantially curvilinear fastening section (,) along a roof spar of a motor vehicle, as well as a free side (,) which can be unfolded through inflation of the airbag, which is fastened at the fastening section (,), along a main development direction (A) which extends substantially downwardly in the vertical direction, and which free side in the thus inflated state of the airbag is provided at the lower side of the airbag as well as lying substantially opposite to the fastening side (,), with the cut of the airbag along the fastening side (,) having a substantially rectilinear border, which has substantially the same length as the total length of the curvilinear fastening section (,), and with the cut having a substantially curvilinear border along the free side (,).

Side airbag

The invention relates to an airbag apparatus for motor vehicles, in particular to a side airbag apparatus, comprising a gas generator (11), a gas filler tube (12) which is tightly connected thereto, which preferably is or can be laid in along the roof spar of the vehicle, which is provided with gas outflow openings (13) at predetermined distances and which is connected to an inflatable gas bag (14) which extends at least along a greater portion of its length and which preferably consists of individual cells (15), of which each is preferably associated with a gas outflow opening (13). The invention consists in that the gas outflow openings (13) are formed by incisions (17) in the wall of the gas filler tube (12) and by indentations (18) of the tube wall material at least at one side of the incisions (17).
