A cardiac assistance, device has a supporting component, which surrounds the heart and on the inside of which a plurality of adjacent inflatable and deflatable chambers are provided, via which an inside wall can be displaced inward. The chambers have a fluidic connection to at least one pump via lines. A plurality of supply valves on the supply side are arranged between the pump and the chambers. Some individual chambers or groups of chambers are assigned dedicated supply valves, in order to drive the chambers individually or in groups.

Cardiac assistance device and method for the control thereof

An inflatable head protection system for occupants of a motor vehicle is provided which has an air bag which is inflated laterally of the head in the event of a side impact and prevents the displacement of the head. The head protection system has a belt guiding duct, the belt strap of a seat belt extending through this belt guiding duct. In order to be able to follow the belt strap movements, the head protection system is swivellably fastened by way of a ball joint on the upper edge of a seat backrest.

Inflatable head protection system for occupants of motor vehicles

A head protection system for occupants of a motor vehicle has a multi-chamber air bag, which is inflated laterally of the head in the event of a side impact and prevents the displacement of the head. In addition, it protects the head from vehicle body parts that penetrate the occupant department. Via the individual chambers, an L-shape of the air bag can be constructed which is optimal for the desired purpose. In addition, the division into several chambers permits longer and therefore less aggressive inflation times.

Head protection system for occupants of motor vehicles

An inflatable seat belt for securing an occupant in a motor vehicle having a belt strap which is divided by way of a belt latch into a diagonal region resting against the occupant's upper body and into a horizontal region resting against the occupant's pelvis. A belt buckle is fastened to the vehicle and the belt latch is detachably connectable with the belt buckle. On the diagonal region of the belt strap, an air bag is mounted which extends from the occupant's upper body to behind the head. The air bag is made of a material which is shortened in an axial direction during inflation. The diagonal region of the belt strap is connected with an upper retractor fastened to the vehicle, and the horizontal region of the belt strap is connected with a lower retractor fastened to the vehicle.
