A side airbag device is provided in a seat back of a vehicle seat. The side airbag device includes: a primary airbag configured to be inflated and deployed forward and in an up-and-down direction from an outer portion of the seat back in a vehicle width direction; and a secondary airbag connected to an inner portion of the primary airbag in the vehicle width direction, communicating with the primary airbag through a first communication hole, and configured to be inflated and deployed inward in the vehicle width direction from the primary airbag. The first communication hole is at least partially arranged more forward than a front surface of the outer portion of the seat back in an inflated and deployed state of the primary airbag. The secondary airbag comes in contact with a front surface of the seat back in an inflated and deployed state of the secondary airbag.

Side airbag device

A side airbag device is provided in a seat back of a vehicle seat. The side airbag device includes: a primary airbag configured to be deployed forward and in an up-and-down direction from an outer portion of the seat back in a vehicle width direction; and a secondary airbag connected to the primary airbag via a connecting portion, communicating with the primary airbag through a communication hole provided in the connecting portion, and configured to be deployed in the vehicle width direction from the primary airbag. The secondary airbag is folded to a side opposite to the primary airbag along a first fold passing above the connecting portion and extending in a front-and-rear direction. In a state where the secondary airbag is folded along the first fold, the primary airbag and the secondary airbag are wound or folded around an axis extending in the up-and-down direction.

A head protection airbag apparatus includes an airbag which is stored on an upper edge side of a vehicle window and is deployed and inflated to cover the window, and a protector which stores a folded body of the airbag. An upper edge side portion of the window includes a vehicle body side member which partially protrudes toward a vehicle inner side around an upper side of a storage region of the folded body. The protector includes a cover part which is disposed in a disposition region of the vehicle body side member. The cover part includes a door part which can be opened such that a tip end side is rotated upward while covering a region extending from a vehicle inner side lower corner part to a vehicle inner side surface of the vehicle body side member when the airbag is being deployed and inflated.

A side curtain airbag systemincludes: an airbag bodymounted on a vehicle interior side of a roof side part of a body and deploying upon supply of gas; and a protectordesigned to hold the airbag bodyand guide deployment of the airbag body. The protectorincludes: a main body partextending along the roof side part and covers the airbag body; multiple first ribs extending toward a vehicle exterior from the main body part, capable of making contact with the body at the time of deployment of the airbag body, and arranged in a direction in which the main body partextends; and a second ribconnecting an adjacent pair, of the first ribsto each other, and extending toward the vehicle exterior and obliquely downward from the main body part

Side curtain airbag system

An engagement structure includes a garnish main body, a garnish lid, an engagement stop, and an engaged part. The engagement stop has an engagement protrusion and is disposed on one of the garnish main body and the garnish lid. The engagement protrusion protrudes in a direction opposite to an airbag accommodated between the pillar and the garnish main body. The engaged part is engaged to the engagement protrusion and is disposed on another of the garnish main body and the garnish lid. The engaged part has a guiding surface configured to guide the airbag during inflation.

A vehicle occupant protection apparatus for use in a vehicle includes an occupant-protecting expansion part caused to expand in the form of a curtain in the vehicle cabin along windows. The expansion part is attached to the vehicle body at two attachment points positioned forward and rearward of the windows. A tension line that joins the two attachment points is in a position where the expansion part is extended between the two points, and is positioned below the lower edges of the windows.

A sun visor for a vehicle includes a shaftangularly movably mounted on a roof surface within a passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a shielding plate angularly movably mounted on the shaft. A holderand a stabilizer, in which the shaftis angularly movably inserted, are provided at an end portion of the shielding plate, and a first projectionA and a second projectionB are formed on the shaft, and are spaced from each other in a direction of an axis of the shaft. The distance between the second projectionB and the tubular portionis larger than the distance between the first projectionA and the bearing portion
