A side airbag cover () having a top surface () upon which can be positioned a decorative emblem (), the top surface () and emblem () are configured to break when subjected to a determinable force pressuring on an undersurface () of the cover (), the undersurface () including a tear seam () which breaks when subjected to a determinable pressure or load, the emblem () having its own tear seam (), wherein the emblem tear seam () is displaced laterally relative to an adjacent portion of the tear seam ().

Driver airbag cover with emblem

An air bag () has an inflatable chamber () defined by a main front panel () and a pair of side panels (). The air bag () has a vertically oriented recessed portion () spanning along most of the length of the main panel or a limited section thereof. The recessed portion () divides the air bag () into two lower lobe portions () on each side of the recessed portion. Upon inflation an internal tether () is attached to the recessed portion and is anchored at or adjacent to the gas inlet passageway thereby limiting forward movement of the recessed portion upon inflation. The air bag is useful as a frontal air bag, particularly a passenger frontal air bag.

Air bag with groove or recess, open or partially covered

A curtain air bag module () comprising and air bag () having at least one inflatable region with internally configured internal tethers and a deflector or ramp locatable above a B-pillar trim part and loosely mounted to the vehicle and to the trim part.

Curtain air bag module

A curtain air bag module () comprising an air bag () having at least one inflatable region with internally configured internal tethers, at least one of the internal tethers disposed at an angle to a stream of inflation gas. The air bag includes a distribution tube located proximate a top portion of the at least one inflatable region of the air bag, the tube having a first end adapted to receive inflation gas, the distribution tube including at least one set of openings proximate each of the at least one inflatable regions for communication of inflation gas to these regions, the at least one internal tether disposed at an oblique angle to the distribution tube.

An air bag () having a main panel () having face panel portion () configured to face an occupant when the air bag is inflated, the main panel in the vicinity of the face panel portion including an opening (), the opening having an edge (). A cup-shaped structure () of material is fitted within the opening and sewn or secured to the edge () of the main panel opening (); the cup-shaped structure is located within the air bag below the exterior surface of the main panel. A tether anchored at one end and having a second end secured to a portion of the cup-shaped structure, the length of the tether configured to prevent the cup-shaped structure from moving beyond the exterior surface of the main panel, the cup-shaped structure and remaining parts of the air bag forming opposing lobes () upon inflation, wherein the cup-shaped structure forms a groove or depression () between the lobes.
