A gas bag arrangement for a vehicle occupant restraint system of a motor vehicle. The gas bag arrangement comprising a gas bag package which includes a folded gas bag and a wrapping which at least partly surrounds the folded gas bag, at least one connecting strap for connecting the gas bag to a holding structure of the motor vehicle, wherein the connecting strap is attached to a fastening portion of the gas bag and a deflection device arranged at the wrapping or formed by the wrapping, at which the connecting strap&#x2014;relative to the condition of the gas bag arrangement as mounted in the vehicle&#x2014;is deflected in direction of the holding structure. A section of the connecting strap coming from the fastening portion extends up to the deflection device away from the holding structure and at the deflection device again is deflected towards the holding structure.

An airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag comprising at least one first and at least one second fastening component to attach the airbag to a vehicle body. The second fastening component is attached in such a way that&#x2014;in relation to the deflated, flat outspread state of the airbag&#x2014;it is offset from the first fastening component in a perpendicular direction to the main extension direction of the airbag. A first section of the airbag that stretches to a side of the second fastening component facing away from the first fastening component, is folded by means of a first fold in the form of a rolled fold and a second section of the airbag that extends to a side of the second fastening component facing the first fastening component by means of a second fold different from a rolled fold.

Airbag for a vehicle occupant restraint system in a motor vehicle and a procedure for manufacturing such an airbag

A side air bag for a vehicle occupant restraint system of a motor vehicle is provided. The side air bag comprising at least one inflatable chamber, having a first area to protect the head of a vehicle occupant as well as a second area which&#x2014;referring to the state of the side air bag (in which it is installed in the vehicle and inflated&#x2014;extends in the direction of the vehicle floor beyond a door parapet which is adjacent to a side window of the vehicle. The chamber is designed in such a way that it tapers off from the first towards the second area.

A vehicle seat arrangement for a motor vehicle is provided. The vehicle seat arrangement comprising a vehicle seat, which comprises at least one inflatable element for protecting a vehicle occupant residing on the vehicle seat. The inflatable element is formed and arranged such that said element expands predominantly in direction towards the vehicle occupant when inflated. The inflatable element is integrated into a backrest of the vehicle seat unfolded or provided with only one fold or a protuberance, wherein the inflatable element is arranged between a cushion of the vehicle seat and a cover of the vehicle seat or inside the cushion.

Vehicle seat arrangement and airbag arrangement for a motor vehicle and a method for protecting a vehicle occupant

A vehicle occupant restraint system includes an inflatable airbag arranged in a vehicle seat. When the airbag is triggered it at least partially unfolds in the direction of travel on a side of the vehicle seat facing the vehicle interior. The vehicle seat includes a backrest frame extending in a substantially vertical direction in the vehicle seat and substantially aligned in the direction of travel. The airbag is connected to a front end of the backrest frame pointing in the direction of travel.

Passenger restraint system

The disclosed apparatus can control the cross section of at least one vent opening of an airbag module, through which gases can escape into the environment. The apparatus can include: at least one covering part for at least partially covering the at least one vent opening and an operating mechanism comprising a gas source and an inflatable element in fluid communication with the gas source. The inflatable element can be configured to produce a variation in the outlet cross section of the vent opening in cooperation with the covering part.

Airbag module

A side airbag device for a vehicle includes an airbag which is deployed in the event of an accident and, in the deployed state, covers a side wall section of the vehicle. In order for the airbag to reliably deploy, provision is made according to embodiments of the invention for the side airbag device to have a deployment control mechanism which deflect the airbag during its deployment around an obstacle situated in a region of a side wall section.
